    I have a life ban from there largely because posters kept reporting me basically because we didn't share the same sense of humour. However, whilst a life ban is a bit over the top, I think that it is otherwise a good site. Some good people there, funny, interesting etc as well as bad ones. The main thing is that is extremely busy which is what you need if, as I do, you like to see the humorous side of things. I post on 3 or 4 forums which are all a bit quiet so it is easy to lose the sense of what you were talking about by the time someone replies.

    I lost the sense of everything when I had a brief look .... and I am sorry to say I donĀ“t really want to have another look in case I change my mind .....

    I loved your work on DS.. always made me chuckle.

    But DS is weird, the amount of times the spelling police have targeted me is insane

    Thanks everyone for the nice welcome!

    I guess I'm just confused how they could ban me for using multiple accounts when I wasn't ? I've seen someone on other forum claim its also happened to them so maybe they are just banning people at random and not bothering to check all the facts first.

    I'm pleased I'm banned in hindsight. I don't think DS is a healthy forum to be part of.

    To avoid double posts, use the Go Advanced option, that stops it normally, there is a fault in the system here

    Do you use a VPN*? If you're masking your IP in some way it might be enough to convince the mods that whoever complained about you was correct. I use a VPN myself and have done for years because I'm not keen on my every move online being monitored, but I have found I'm asked more often to prove I'm human when visiting new forums etc because of it.

    * For anyone that doesn't know, when you connect to a VPN all of the data you're sending and receiving is encrypted and secured from prying eyes.

    I think you're right. It's an extremely negative place where trolls etc thrive.
