I think the moderation here should institute a stealth ban system.
What it would entail is that the user is "shadowed" in a way. Only the mods can see their posts and their name and everything appears normal to everyone. So they don't even know their banned. The only tip off would be that no one posts in or likes their threads. The beauty of this is that the mods would have plausible deniability if the person emailed them with something like "why doesn't anyone post in my threads" the mods could say something along the lines of "that subject has already been covered in threads xyz so no one bothered replying" or "maybe you should cool it with the thread spam and maybe people will start participating in your threads.
THis isn't something we would have used against established posters, but only against those virulent trolls who continuously reappear time and time again (rickywax/skipsteps). It would be a last ditch effort to shut these people out by just making them bored.
I will be checking my PMs weekly, so you can catch me there. I will not be posting.

I keep writing long posts on mobile in discussions related to the meetings only to be presented with a block screen, I guess it's safe to assume I can't engage in the discussion anywhere regarding them.
It feels like a catch 22 that I can't discuss current events because I haven't proved my legitimacy, yet I can't prove my legitimacy by discussing current events. However I also understand that all possible precautions must be taken in order to maximise damage control, and I really appreciate the care taken to explain things rather than just hand out mass bans.
Thank you RVF.
Edit: Ah, no block screen. Interesting piece of software.

There's a limit to the number of characters you can post right now.

It's the same for me I wrote a longer part for the European topic but get the blocked site everytime, must be something about the rights, because I'm able to post here.
I'm just someone who takes his time for everything, but the 100% lying of the news everywhere just created the inner motivation to participate more.. Not the best time without posts or rep points.

I tried posting before, but there was some barrier like a lock screen or an error screen. Or maybe there was restrictions on sign ups and I couldn't even create the account till after the Canada BS. Either way I stopped caring and forgot about it till the recent jimmy rustling.

The forum's security has been increased since the controversy. Posts with lots of brackets and the like can be blocked due the forum thinking its code exploiting vulnerabilities.
Keep your posts shorter and simpler and you should be fine.

I'm new to this forum (not new to Roosh or ROK) & love this thread. Anybody real who has been living/thinking with the right philosophy long enough should have appreciation when they see something has to be earned & not given for free.

Security measures are completely understandable given the circumstances.

I'm glad I came across this thread. I joined in May '13, but normally go months without visiting. This forum is like a firehose. Lots to keep up with. I figured it was time to look up the rules.

I personally think the most important rule is respect upon entering. Seems obvious, seems something which would be apparent to everyone but it isn't, point blank.
Something which has really drawn me to this forum are the standards the community holds itself to, a self-policing community at that. The text speak, the drive-by posts, the drive-by insults, the constant one-liners you see elsewhere, largely absent from RVF.
So I treat this place as I would if I was sitting down to dinner in my girlfriend's house for the first time, meeting her family. Get your bearings, figure out the lay of the land, remain respectful but firm in your beliefs, when you say something, make sure it has value.
This is a forum which trends against the momentum of modern social media and internet communication in general. It's a trip back in time to where men cared about how they come across, were thoughtful, respectful, accountable for their words, their actions, were alpha, could banter back and forth about intelligent and interesting topics without worrying about political correctness and offending. I greatly value that. I encourage any new poster to put value in that too.
Modern communication is becoming as ugly as a fat man who had too much Mexican food. There is no longer value in what one says and accountability has been lost. There is no thought, no critical thinking. There's not even a basic and elementary respect for the English language.
Aside from respect, read up on Roosh. Read up and familiarize yourself with what he's done, his mindset, his general point of views, his life experiences. It's easy to find whether here, on ROTK or youtube. If you understand Roosh and your personal beliefs trend towards his, you should do well here. If they don't, you probably won't.
I found this place after spending time in Bulgaria. I came home and was debating the differences between American and Bulgarian women. Seemed like two different species. I googled "why are Eastern European women better than American women" and this forum came up immediately. Started reading and was pulled in. I knew my beliefs, my frame of mind would vibe with most here.
