I'm having a serious problem with the forum administrator at the above link, named JZSquared. My username on that site is Sephiroth. I went to this site to just be social and meet people, and immediately after my introduction post, this administrator got onto me about using a Latin phrase (from the Final Fantasy 7 game, an intro line I always use) on his forum. I realize that things must be in the English language as per the TOS, but five words of Latin surely won't be enough to delete a forum. It simply went downhill from there. Later on, we were in a discussion about maturity, and he misinterpreted one of my posts as being a direct attack on his social life and himself in general, accused me of breaking several of his rules pertaining to insulting a staff member, arguing with a staff member, getting off topic, etc. when in reality, I had done nothing remotely resembling this. All I had said was "You need to get out more." as a casual humorous remark, to lighten the mood, which had become slightly serious as that I had not understood a point that he had made, and he refused to explain it, saying that I was being uncivil by requesting clarification. I responded to his post (that stated all these things I had done wrong and were warned for), and I apologized and explained what I had meant by my words, which were not intended as harmful in any way, but instead just a humorous expression. He refused to believe my explaination and apology and continued to label me as false. To this I responded that I would cease trying to reason with him, and he promptly deleted the post, and every other post I made afterwards regardless of it being an apology or reason, and then he disabled my account.
I don't rightly know if this goes against any of the TOS, but I would like to know if there is anything I can do about this administrator to prevent him from dealing the same unfair treatment to others as he has dealt to me. I've contacted several of his past affiliates and staff members to see if there was a history of such treatment, and I found that on multiple Proboards forums he has operated, the treatment has been duplicated numerous times and for little to no violations other than those that JZSquared has deemed them to have made. If this is not the place to ask such a question, I apologize, and if you could kindly direct me to the proper place (or if this is simply a personal matter I must resolve on my own), I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you for your time.
