He and I are one. My account got erased, or I might have forgotten my password. I left because a story that I worked hard on was not approved, even though it was neither obscene, nor an obvious trolling attempt. It was about fruit gushers candy.
I came back because there just aren't very many forums where you can say whatever the Hell you want, like IIN. I get kicked out of forums all the time, even serious ones devoted to technical subjects. I'm very argumentative, apparently.
Yeah, there seems to be very little censorship on IIN. You might find this odd but I get kicked out of places often too. Especially places that are heavily censored.
I don't let things go and if I feel I've been unfairly judged, I get into a conversation about it which usually involves the moderator becoming increasingly angry at my persistence to get to the truth.
When they're someone with very little power in their lives who get a little thrill from bossing people around on the internet, they don't like having to explain themselves or having someone question them intelligently.
I know this makes me sound annoying but I genuinely am pretty annoying when I care about something, like I care about censorship. I've seen some dreadful things here but I'm glad people are able to say them.
Shame your story didn't get through. Did you keep a copy?
I sense that we may be alot alike. Your description of the moderator power trip was spot on in my opinion.
No, I didn't keep a copy. Basically, when I was little, I thought "Fruit Gushers" candy literally turned one's head into a large piece of fruit (like in the commercials). It was one of the few stories I had posted that was both true, and not obscene or violent, or just a fight-starter, and yet it was one of the few that was denied. Maybe it was an accident, but I was pissed.
IIN To be REALLY obsessed with celebrities/ fame/ teen heartthrobs

I do indeed. Not even sure why he left. He was part of the furniture, same as everyone else.
