Last week, I saw this rescue site Revvy Rescue and decided to send in a contribution. I then posted a thread on MO noting that it was just before year end, and anyone who wanted to help any Malt rescue would get a tax deduction if they would just mail their check by year end. I was hoping some people would feel the spirit of the season and help some rescues. I mean, how else can you force the government to use some of your tax money to support maltese rescue?
I did not post the name of any particular rescue group or the name of a competing site, but I did try to post a link to the IRS website where you can go to find out if a purported charity is indeed a 501c3 organization. When the thread didn't appear, I posted another thread titled "I'm really disappointed in you guys" with no text in the thread. I mean, come on, what's the harm of trying to promote Maltese rescue? I guess MO doesn't care about rescues as much as their precious user agreement. They'll promote glorified wee-pads because the sponsor pays them, but they won't promote Maltese rescue and allow the posting of a government site where you can ferret out the real from the false charities? Come on people.
Well, guess what? Yep. Banned for "Multiple Violations of User Agreement - Goodbye".
Once I get it hosted, my screenshot of my banning will be my avatar.
When I protested, I got a really snotty e-mail back from Becky (the latest adminazi over there) saying "You posted the internet address to the IRS website. What is it you don't understand? We have zero tolerance for user agreement violators. I'm sorry. Goodbye." Geez. No kiss or anything! I even had to contact the image hosting service they use to remove my pictures of Lucky and Chloe since I couldn't get in to edit my user profile.
I think I'll come up with an offshoot of MO and register the domain name with nothing but a page of links to a bunch of other Maltese related boards -- any one but theirs. Maybe I'll call it MalteseNOnly.com? (Watch Bianco register that one tomorrow).
OK, I'm done venting. What a bunch of -------s.
