Well most here already know of this, but satscams has apparently 'stealth banned' me. This means I can still login there, see most of my posts and even post again. But no one else can see my posts. Chill had asked why all my posts were removed and this was satscams reply back on 27-8-2006:


he was stealth banned, this will automatically temp block all previous posts.
it is temp oversight and will be fix in a bit.

Well all of my posts, even the one intended to help fellow hobbiests protect their anonymity when surfing the internet, are still unviewable by all. I have relayed to satscams and his staff that I think it looks very suspicious that they did not just give me a regular ban (ie. just do not allow me to login and put banned under my handle) and instead have choosen to block everyone from reading my informative posts. Satscams appears to be trying to cover up the mess he got himself into by not allowing his members and guests to read my posts and form their own opinion on the events that transpired. I was probably the least hostile and most respectful poster that site EVER had. I NEVER used foul language or resorted to name calling, even after some there (including some current staff) devolved into calling me names. I relied on honesty and logic to make my arguments, rather than childish name calling. If satscams and his staff have even an ounce of honesty left in them they will restore my posts and, if they do not want me posting there anymore then, just leave me with a normal ban (ie. 'BANNED' placed under my handle for all to see). But I have a feeling that having my handle show up with banned under it is far more of a problem for there reputation than it is for mine. The only other sites I have EVER been banned at were known scamming sites, like fuckdtv, and once for about an hour at Hashhu by BMD after I began questioning the bogus Outlaw P4 hack claims. And Snatty, the owner of Hashhu at the time, removed the ban within an hour or two without my intervention because he knew it was wrong for BMD to ban me. So satscams and his site and staff are in the same category as scammers in my opinion for imposing this 'stealth ban' upon me. If anyone wants copies of most of the threads and posts of mine that have been removed from there I have them and can provide them, uneditted, to anyone who requests them.

I will assume that the stealth ban is still controled by Satscams himself, as it was back when I modded there. Yes he does use this to try and wear down those who would have some not so nice things to say about him.

As you can see we here have made your post about surfing anominously a sticky for all to read. If there is ever a problem with a thread we will take that up with you at that time. This is not something that Satscams the owner his site, wants to allow. While yes it will raise many questions about just what it is that is being protected, I am not so sure the answers will ever come. Site traffic is so slow there that one has to ask, if it really matter any more?

While we will allow free speech here, and yes it can be that some times there may have to be limits put on how far that goes, right now we do not see the need.Maybe Jeff or one of his many personalities will come and explain things here for us. I know it would make for at least some reason behind the things he claimed. But I will not hold my breath on that.

Hippy if you want to make a quick sypopsis of the posts and then post them here that will be fine. To just repost the posts without the context would be wrong unless it could be shown the whole context of it all. I will leave that up to you.

Here is much of my postings at Satscams that has been removed from view that are pertinent to the events of the recent past. These are copies of whole public threads uneditted. Three of the threads are ones I started thus the entire thread was removed from view, so others posts were removed in those cases as well. The other one is a copy of Griffon's thread with my posts restored to it since I did not start that thread only my posts were removed from it. They are in PDF format inside the zip.

Well I guess I can't attach the zip, at least in this thread. It's at 1.23MB zip.

Question I have...is why would Jeff NOT come forward an admit he did it?

I can not speak for Jeff, but it seems to me that he very early on was trying to hide certain aspects of his relationship to Satscams. He tried to make it appear that he was not the person behind other nicks and he less and less seemed to care about he site. I do not know if this was because of his bankruptcy or whether he was just trying to hide things from the defaulting he did with his echo suit. Any ways he sure fought tooth and nail not to come forward, even after we in the mod section had him say he would. There was something that scared him or at least made him uneasy, to expose himself as the author of what happened. Hence all the speculation. He still to this day does not come forward about this, so to me the only things that could make this a problem would be legal problems, or credability problems. Since we know he still has legal problems, and he gets really wound up when you touch on the fact that he made a big mistake in trying to hide assests, is concerned, I would have to say that is where the problem lies.

He now finds himself posting and trying to make out like he is 3-4 different people, even though we all know who he is and that it is only himself that are doing the posting. My guess is he is being pressed by all sides in things and he thinks that by doing crazy stunts like he has, that this will help him in the end. Hippyb was probably just a convenient tool that came along at the time. I can say that jeff has said many times that he would do things after being pressured to do so by the staff, and he then does not do them.

I am open to what others takes on this are and would not mind you posting them here. Yes it will only be speculation, but maybe others have some thought s that are better fitting then my own.

For some reason I cannot attach any type of files to posts in this thread. I have taken screen shots, just can't post them. I can still see most of my posts, there are a few that have been just deleted, but most are still there, no one else can see them though.

fixer1 or gs2 can attachments be made available for this forum?

HB there should be nothing stopping you from attaching a document here or else where on the site. I double checked and the permissions are set to allow it.

H.B., there may be a size restriction on how big a graphic pic that you are allowed to post.

Try putting them in a zip or rar file and attach that instead.

I don't even get the option for 'Manage Attachments' in this forum. If I go to the 'General Forums' area I get the option, but not in this forum. I posted screen shots of showing that I am not getting the option to 'Manage Attachments' in this forum but I am in others here:

Something must be different with the permissions between these two forum areas.
