Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I just took a screenshot of what it looks like when I try logging in.  I'll send it to Pundit because I don't know how to attach an image here.

You can't - you have to upload it elsewhere then embed it here with the Insert Image tab.

Ok, I uploaded it onto my FB wall.  Check it out:  https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1108017200158492&set=a.120200342273521

Because Twitter was so hot and bothered for me to delete the tweet, I assumed it stuck out like a sore thumb, and everyone had been liking and retweeting it for the last 11 days or so.

But to answer your question, it appears as though my appeal to not be penalized, suspended, or whatever is still in limbo.  As in, they're considering what to do.  So, I was waiting for an answer, but if nothing comes... I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. 

While I did say I'd never delete it.  I suppose I could delete it just to repost it again in a way that doesn't trigger my suspension.  But it's all social engineering, big tech psy-op bullshit!

Hmm, ok I saw it. I'm guessing that the interpretation of the post was that you were either threatening violence (as in, you would personally run them over) or that you were wishing violence (as in, you hope they get run over).
But I hope in your appeal you argued politely that it was not your intention to wish harm or violence against them, and what you were presenting was in the form of a warning of what increasing discontent with their protests might lead.

Honestly, if I was in your position, I would delete the tweet, and then when restored I would post a more carefully worded version of the tweet that still got the point across, while making it utterly deniable.

Since it's been nearly 2 weeks without any new information on my appeal, I probably should do that.  I don't even know if people on Twitter can still see my tweet or even my account?

And yes, I tried to make that clear in 100 characters or whatever piddly amount they gave me to make my case.  It's clearly political and biased.  Since I can do more good on social media than allowing myself to remain deplatformed, I'll probably just delete the tweet and then repost it with more clarification.

But it shouldn't have even come to that.  Where the fuck is Elon Musk, or the people at Twitter that believe in free speech and political neutrality?  He does us a favor, then abandons us, then helps us out, then leaves us out to dry... Not cool, bro!

Update - since realizing that twitter had already removed the offending post, there wasn't much sense in my holding out... especially after realizing no one was coming for my appeal.  So, I finally deleted the tweet and got my account back right away.  The worst that happened was I lost an extra 4 days on twitter (remember that they wanted me to delete it right away and then accept a 7-day suspension).

Now, I've decided to become worse.

For what matters, I was banned until Aug. 6th on a Steam forum for "Attempting to circumvent the swearing filter". Even putting aside that I don't swear at all on that board (I seldom swear on the internet), nothing in my recent messages (last month) even suggested a misunderstanding caused by a typo.

The only thing worse than The Big Brother is a Big Brother out of control.

Well, by not swearing you're clearly attempting to circunvent the swearing filter...
