Help with wrongfully banned on a forum

Need to know where to go for help...anyone?  If this isn't the right place, where else should I go?  No help, huh, shocking...

Well at least I should tell my predicament.  Because I objected to being abused by some on the Israeli-Arab Board  by homosexuals and fought back, reported them to the board, the administrator capt diggs banned me forever.  Now I have nothing against gay men but I do object to being accused of being one, which I'm not.  I reported the abuse and capt diggs saw fit to ban me for reporting the abuse.  I'm now banned because of it and am trying to find a recourse which he is blocking me.  You see no matter the abuse you "must not report that abuse", gives diggs a bad name as an adm even tho his motto is "you can discuss anything" as long as no one reports it. I take issue with this.

That URL doesn't show us the forum, what is the exact error message you receive? There are 2 possibilities; one PB admins can help with, the other they can't.

As to your post script: you are posting outside business hours which are M-F, 9am to 5pm pacific (-8gmt). Please have patience.

this is the URL for the Israeli-Arab proboards site. 

What else do you need?

What is the exact error message you receive that lets you know you're banned? Knowing that will let me know if the PB admins can help or not.

Edit: You've edited your post; if the admin banned you purposefully, that's their right to do, per the PB TOS. ProBoards will not interfere in that regard. If you feel that the forum itself violated the TOS, you can report it at [e-mail]

Bear in mind tho, reporting does not guarantee action or that you'll be unbanned, if the admin's actions are not found to be in violation of the terms of service.

You need to actually tell me what the error message is. Linking to the site helps us identify where the issue is occurring, but does not actually provide us the same thing you see — I am not banned, so I won't see a banned message.

Not sure what you're asking for. The URL I sent you states I have been banned and that's all shows. I have no other URL except the one that shows the Message "You Are Banned".

On the forum you can report abuse and I was banned for doing so by diggs. What's the use of having that if you're going to be banned for using it. diggs didn't allow using free will. This is getting me no where.

All we really needed was the *message* -- which you just provided. Thanks!

To try and make this clear: ProBoards does not interfere in how forum admins decide to run their forum. If the admin banned you, they banned you, and you need to move on no matter how unfair you find their policies.

Separately, if you feel that the forum violates the ProBoards Terms of Service you can report that to [e-mail] ; this is NOT an avenue to argue against being banned, but rather to report if the forum itself is violating the terms of use.

I hope that clears it up!

Please always start your own thread, rather than posting on someone else's.

However, as stated in this thread, each forum's staff has the right to ban whomever they want, for whatever reason they want (assuming that reason isn't against the ToS) and ProBoards will not interfere. So, unless you have means to contact staff on that forum to plead your case, you're probably out of luck. No one here can or will contact them on your behalf. Sorry it's not better news.
