:roll:

Someone tweeted an image of a BA aircraft hostess (host person?) trolley that they are using at home as a side table. Nice idea.

See what I tweeted below, and the reason for my 12hr account suspension. :roll: :lol:

I mean, there aren't really enough eye roll are there?

Do you think is was actually reported by anyone or just a fully automated system saw "smack your..." and went for the banhammer?

Seems a little excessive by them... I gave up on Twitter a while a go, just seemed to be a bit too negative for me.

I'm guessing they're being careful after Trump incited violence on Capitol hill on Twitter :lol:

Is there a special "I've been banned" badge you can wear?

@Matty Quite frankly the OP has been offensive in this thread by posting offensive content deemed offensive by twitter. I suggest a banning.

I may start a new thread to poll opinion on this matter.

You should fight it on the grounds that smacking does not automatically imply physical harm and can be used as part of dance :D

I called Trump a cunt and got a 24 hr suspension. Badge of honour.

I appealed the decision.

Twitter response:
Our support team has determined that a violation did take place, and therefore we will not overturn our decision.

You will not be able to access Twitter through your account due to violations of the Twitter Rules, specifically our rules around:
Violating our rules against abusive behavior


:lol:

I have not bothered to appeal it again as they are clearly absolute idiots.

They're using the hate crime definition of rule breaking. If they think you committed an offence then you did in fact commit such offence, even if you er... didn't :lol:

So is that now a permanent ban? :(

Brilliant, Facebook banned me yesterday on a thread wishing my daughter a happy 13th.

A friend said he was joining the "parent of a teen" club on Saturday. I posited that boys would probably be easier and that I was very glad that Emily, my daughter, thought boys were smelly.

I wouldn't mind but I cannot even like the kind posts to wish her a HB.

All this does is reinforce this new culture of being offended on behalf of the people you believe it will offend, even if it doesn’t offend you personally
