Now this is a story (Also known as the MH ranting)

Now this is a story all about how
My life got flipped, turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute, just sit and wait
And tell you how I got myself banned at MH.

Okay, so it doesn't rhyme perfectly. But who can complain about Bel-Air?

Anyway, once upon a time, I was a member of this site called NaziMangaHelpers.com, as the name implies, a site devoted to manga (scanlating, discussing, you get my drift).

I joined early, tried to get my feel of the place. I was humorous, calm, collected, and slowly, people began to like me. I had e-friends. Cool enough, right?

Suddenly, this dude asserts a statement about a Bleach character, which I point out, is flawed. I do this very calmly, but still, he takes the time to be a condescending prick. I, again calmly, ask him to stop being such a douche.

I get the banhammer, no warning, no nothing. He gets off scot-free. Apparently, you're allowed to be a dick, but not allowed to call people on it. I later learn it was a femmod named Agrias. (Note, I have nothing against female mod, this one was just a bitch) I say whatever, wait out the week-long ban, and come on back.

Time passes. Quiet. Peaceful. No bans for me. Suddenly, on a hangout thread in the Bleach section, someone mentions that Rangiku might die, to which I reply, "Those tits are She is far too valuable to the fan- er, storyline!"

I'm a man. C'mon.

Raucous laughter, unanimous approval. Soon, of course the discussion switches to the topic of breasts (and in Bleach, there's plenty to discuss). It builds, eventually leading to pictures (nothing even the slightest bit obscene). Later yet, a mod (A MOD, mind you) suggest founding a boob thread. Once again, unanimous approval, and before I know it, I am nominated and promptly elected president of this thread, the MangaHelpers Boob Thread (MHBT).

I do it, on the mod's encouragement. It blossoms beautifully, a harmonious community with no negativity, just a pleasant sharing of a similar goal. Everyone is happy, we do not disturb someone, and better yet, we isolate the breast-interest, so that the rest of the site remains "clean."

Five hundred posts in less than a week. Five-oh-oh. I've never seen that kind of growth on any thread on any board ever. We're all happy.

But of course, the snake enters our Garden of Eden. Says that the thread is on thin ice. We peacefully accept, and follow the rules. All is good.

BAM. One day I wake up, there's no more MHBT! And who, do I discover, erased it? That same Femmod, Agrias. As the President of the thread, I catch the most heat (despite the mod suggestion AND the fact that she couldn't cite any rules), but I'm not banned. Odd. Oh well, move on. When my followers asked for retribution, I quieted them. When they asked for a revival, I quieted them too. I accepted our defeat, and moved on.

So my "life" on the forum continues, with cracked jokes, support from the community, and growing influence. Things are fine.

One day, after making a David Caruso joke, I find I'm banned. "Borderline flaming, borderline spam." Yeah, borderline. Two weeks long.

Outrage on the forums. People are silenced for mentioning my name. Eventually, one mod gets fed up with having to silence people and explains that "He didn't make an ass of himself, he just needs a break." No rules cited again.

Later, I get it was that I gave one-line posts, and apparently that's prohibited. Yeah, every second douchebag posts "lol" as his post, and I get bannd for a Caruso joke.

And I'll give you three guesses as to who banned me this time.

I go to the "courthouse," a place where you can appeal. I give a long list of valid reasons why I'm in the right. All I get for a response is "Nope. Your ban stays."

Whatever, right? I move on. When I come back, someone mentions tits again, I say, "Careful, they'll ban you for that," and what happens?

Permaban. Vague list of reasons. Who's behind it? Yep. Agrias. No rules listed that are broken. Just, "Nope. You're banned" again.

So my e-buddy Manic over here IM's me up and suggests I join this place. See, the way I see Forums is on this scale:
