I was banned because the staff didn't look into a situation enough when I was being cyber bullied and thought I was the one harassing another user and banned me, I was pretty popular there and lost a lot of friends because of that and that's why I started to become less social.
I hate that place so much, they banned me for a stupid reason because they thought I was 'aggressive and rude' to other members. (Which I wasn't.) I also kind of got into a fight with the staff and got banned.
You aren't alone when it comes to negative experiences with MLP forums. I ended up leaving years ago (around 2012, I think) after my posts defending LGBT people from homophobia were censored by moderators and administrators. Additionally, they sided with a religious obscurantist who was flaming me. The truth of the matter is that those forums are permeated by totalitarian groupthink.
In fact, Lyipheoryia pointed out some time ago that a good deal of MLP-themed forums aren't capable of dealing with those of differing opinions; MLP Forums is sadly the norm, not the exception. It also doesn't help that this fandom is past its prime (the show has been running for almost six years now).
I am extremely disappointing that MLPForums is seen as the go to forum and the most popular forum for bronies, I don't know where people get that idea from because I've had far better experiences here (and on my own forum *cough* check it out *cough*) than on there So where do people get that idea that it is the best when it has the worst moderation team I have ever seen.
@M14Brony Wow. Somebody actually reads and remembers what I write! Thanks :)
@A Jewel of Rarity I think it's just the fact that there are a lot of people signed up in MLPForums. I do believe that-once upon a time-it was a good forum, but it's gone downhill.
The administration team is still dumb as hell, I was banned because an admin didn't look into me being harassed enough and thought I was the harasser the guy that was cyber bullying me got caught out for lying so I sent in a ticket to be unbanned since that other guy got banned and they still won't unban me so at this point it's worse that they can't admit they banned me for an unjustified reason.
