I think I'm being discriminated against!
I joined a fanclub forum for my favorite band Tokio Hotel on Thursday I thought it was cool and all until this weekend when they took my thread down when i tried reposting it again it was removed because the mod said they don't care about the cause
this makes me feel bad because I so wanted to tell people my story and now I can't even do that because I'm afraid these girls won't let me because they only want content related to the band. I care very much for the band as much any one of those girls but answer me this my friends, have any of them experienced the trama of being bullied in the schoolyard by some jerk who doesn't get you because your mind works differently?
I shouldn't have to be treated this way. I think I'm the only lady in that entire forum with AS (meaning not a single other fan was like me or felt my pain!) I feel so alone now. The mod of the site said I couldn't mention Puzzle Peace again because it could get me in trouble (i didn't mean harm! i was only making a statement of truth! and as for the operations names, they are that way by inspiration and coinsidence. I use music in my ads because that's how I cope with all these nasty images I have to put in these videos. If everything was quiet, I'd probably lose my mind crying over the terrible stories I read. Advocating for peace and acceptance is a tough job! But being the way I am is a lot harder! Why can't these girls see that?
I don't know what's to happen now. I contacted the mod but I doubt that would help b/c she's the one who sent that horrible message about not caring about my cause (which btw made my cry) she's probably gonna lie to me again and say they're not discriminating against me (psht!
that's exactly what you're doing here!)
It sounds to me like what you are doing is spamming their site, or at the very least the moderator thinks that it is spam. It does not sound very relevant to being a fan of the band.

... the mod said they don't care about [my outside] cause ...
I so wanted to tell people my story ...
... they only want content related to the band.
Have you tried posting content about the band?

==================================
It IS DISCRIMINATION! NOT against YOU, but against the CONTENT! HEY, I know a LOT of things. How do you think people would feel if I talked about some of the more obscure and, to most, BORING subjects here? I'm studying an app you guys may never even SEE, and trying to pass a number of tests. Should I start documenting THAT here? Everyone would hate my guys, and I would probably get banned. If you want to talk about bullying, FINE! If it relates to one of their songs, use THAT to segue into it a little. A LITTLE!! !
Luckily, WP has many sub forums for such posts, but the band forum might not. I agree with this post. It sounds like the mod is discriminating against the content of the post, not the poster. Some forums are very strict about content and will delete anything that isn't on topic.
What you do is find a sub forum for your topic and try to place it there

Is it possible they do this to everyone there? Any topic they don't like, they remove it regardless of who posted it. it's easy to assume we are being discriminated against and not even realize the same s**t it done to others by these people because of how we were treated in the past.
One time on another forum, my avatar got taken down because it was copyrighted and it's never been a problem before over there. But I was seeing other members there with copy righted avatars and I thought I was being discriminated against so I made an angry thread to the mods and one of them said that rule applies to everyone and not just me and they just removed a few other copy righted avatars as well. I felt so much better. See even I still assume sometimes I am being discriminated. I look at how I get treated and if I see others doing the same thing I am doing and no one seems to have a problems with it, I assume I am being discriminated. It makes me angry and I just retaliate. I even thought about getting myself banned from that forum by putting up my avatar just to piss off the mods but good thing I posted the angry thread first before sticking up for myself I would have thought. But I still see copyrighted avatars but I figure the mods maybe haven't caught them yet.

I agree with what others have said. It doesn't sound like they are discriminating against you, but rather are removing content which is considered off-topic on that board. They may have strict policies about posting off-topic material.

i just want to thank everyone for the posts. update since there has been no trouble from these mods but it looks like someone else started a topic on this forum (obviously something related to the government) and what I was told by the mod was that kind of stuff wasn't allowed.
see for yourself! Do you think this is fair? Do you think I should report this?

It won't let me see the page just to let you know. It says I need to login.
