Or specifically regarding Roobarb’s, also being in the position of never being able to qualify to post unmoderated, do what I’ve done & give up trying. Think it’s their loss and view stuff that interests you from time to time. Life really is too short.

IIRC The MC was very lively about a decade ago but the threads could turn into raging rants often political or someone arguing the toss about pedantic details with insults sometimes going on into the night LOL, from the MC's point of view it must have been nightmare to moderate and presumably lead to a reset and be it being run like a tight ship today.

You're sure you're thinking about the same place?? The Mausoleum Club?

I was a member of the MC a long time ago then after a computer hard drive crash I eventually lost the link to the web site and have no way of reconnecting with it. As for Rhubarbs I do not know what the issue is with that place. I joined like 3 or 4 years ago and was able to view forums but was not able to post even once there. I could not find a way to PM an admin to ask for help so I gave up. This went on for at least 3 years and still could not post in any thread. Last time I went there (before the latest hard drive crash and still nothing. I dont know what the place had against me either. More than 3 years not being able to post? As I say, it can take a long time to get un-pre-moderated on Roobarb, but you certainly have had a long wait for anything! I remember once they had an announcement that "You will have noticed that one of our regular posters has been removed". I wonder if I rated something similar? I particularly disliked the regular needling and bullying of one poster, who was self-described as suicidal. Never anything done to stop those people. After one of the "You're a weirdo, and we all think you're a weirdo" posts, I reminded the feller getting piled on to, that he knew from the hundreds of 'Likes' and'Thanks' he'd received that in fact a lot of people on the board did in fact rate him highly. It's worth holding on to that fact sometimes. I think a Metetor post relishing how many deaths there were of older people due to Covid cheesed me off the most. Generally, Hurrah for Missing Episodes!

I do miss IMDB's ubiquitous comments threads, though they were a lawyer's dream!

I did try and contact an Admin regarding Rhubarbs but there was not way to contact any one. All the links that I could find were blocked or greyed out and eventually I just gave up.
No one to ask to intercede on my behalf and the only things I could find that basically said "we dp npot respond to messages due to the sheer number we get".
So I gave up on the place. If ay one wants to intercede on my behalf please feel free to do so. its going on 5 yearsw now and I am still (based on the last time I had the link to the place) on some form of restriction.

Thanks my user name is
Bob1963
I just looked up the web site and logged in again . I re registered on 23 March 2018 and it still says I am "Newly registered" and also states that I have "no permissions to post, reply, add attachments or edit my posts" or anything else after almost 4 years.
Any help is appreciated.

And today I tried again to log into Rhubarbs' DVD forum and guess what my log in credentials no longer work?

I did and was locked out for 15 minutes and I waited another 15 minutes and it says now I have used 6 of 5 log in attempts.
Maybe it is not worth the effort. IF they just don't want me there I can stay away. I mean I post here, in Atlantis, Galley base and a few smaller forums. IF they really dont want me I wont loose any sleep over it. Ill try again a few more times a little later in the evenings

No idea... I mentioned it, so I can't do more (not without repeating myself).

I do appreciate the effort but if admins do not respond to messages they receive then there is really nothing left to be done, after all its been 3 years so I am not going to loose any sleep over it

Well, at least they do not actually hack into your account and read your private messages, like a certain staffer at the MC did. I was shown a recent post where this same staff member had had the gall to put out a statement saying that personal messages on the MC are totally private and can't be read by anyone, not even by the moderators.
Not until they reset your password, that is.
