Banned from TLF!!!!!
« on: June 26, 2010, 15:22:12 PM »
Went to log on to TLF today (Turkish Living Forum) and found I was banned.  The reason given was "No specific reason"????? duration of ban - "forever"??????

All that over 1 post critisising them for showing a swim with dolphins advert and also telling them how they could prevent it from happening again.  In total I have made 2 posts on TLF, is this a record for being banned from a forum?

Well their loss not mine, it was a boring site anyway ;)  Seems the person who owns the site can't take critisism, can't give a reason and also supports ventures involving dolphins.  He is obviously making money from those adverts and he has no scruples about doing it.

Agree with you Laffa.  Had a look at the site and thought it was rubbish!

I'm a member but rarely go on (I even forgot my password). However if they are showing adverts for the dolphins I might go back on and get myself banned anyway ;-)

I wish more people understood the kind of stress these "swim with the dolphins" places cause to dolphins. Dolphins need to be with their pod, in the open sea, and not cramped up in a cage. But what an easy way to make money! Just get a bunch of thugs to go out on a boat and catch a few dolphins, put the dolphins in a pen, and tell people that to swim with them is a form of therapy for autistic children.

I can understand how a website owner might have an advert like that if they are unaware of what these places actually do and of what harm it causes the dolphins. But if they have been told about this, and still post these adverts, they should be boycotted.
