Dear Norsire,

You have received an infraction at Chronicle Forums.

http://www.chronicleforums.com/Forum/showt...779#post2447779

Reason: Advertising
-------
Trying to buy through the forum is not allowed, even when your mare is foundering.
-------

This infraction is worth 1 point(s) and may result in restricted access until it expires. Serious infractions will never expire.

All the best,
Chronicle Forums
***************

This is cruel!!! I also have a private message from Crosswind81 that I can't answer, since I don't a have acess to my account and I don't have her e-mail address.

Can someone please go on and see if she has an e-mail in her profile and if not send her a PM letting her know I was banned for asking for links for Ice Boots for my foundering mare. I just can't believe this. I've e-mailed Rob Banner so I will see what he has to say about this. I have Paul Goodness coming today and will be sure to tell him about it. Talk about kicking someone in the teeth while they are down is unbelievable to me!!!

I don't get it Norsire - that's not advertising. People ask for links all the time!

That is completely ridiculous. So you can't ask where to buy anything over there? I just don't get that. What about the people who posted links? Do they also get banned?? I thought the no selling/buying rule meant that you couldn't say "I have ice boots for sale....anyone want them?"

Crosswinds does not have an email in her signature or profile, but if you want I would relay the message (I'm not banned YET). You can PM me here (TOC) and I'll PM to her with your info.

Sorry you are banned, but it's an eye-opening experience for me. I didn't realize the rules over there were so ridiculous. :brickwall:

Trialbyfire, Crosswind81 sent me a very long and nice PM giving me some very helpful tips to use on my mare and I can't e-mail her or respond back to her. Can you just let her know I was banned for asking for links for ice boots and thank her for me and let her know she can e-mail me at NorsireFarm@aol.com if she'd like.

Pleaes don't get banned yourself for PMing her for me..becareful how you word it...I'm sure Erin is reading this and will banned you too if you miss chose your words!!!

I can't wait to see what Paul Goodness thinks of this ban and I hope Rob Banner will reconsider Erin's ban on me. I've never been banned on any BB until now....

This is just over the top rediculous!!!!! :brickwall:

I just PM'd her letting her know that you have been temporarily banned and ask that she resend her PM message to you via email so you could respond.

I'm really surprised at this, having read your original message. I just read several posts about grazing muzzles and people asking which one worked, etc. where could they get one.....other people posted links with suggestions.

That does not constitute buying/selling via the board. The fact that people PM'd you on your reply is probably what the problem was - but since it's not allowed ON the board, a PM seems to be the only way???

Sorry, I know I'm just adding fuel to the fire here.......

Hope it gets resolved soon.

This is totally confusing, I don't think asking "what websites sell ice boots" is advertising?! :(

I think it is ridiculous that you were banned. They act like a bunch of school girls over there sometimes :huh:

I found this link for ice boots: http://www.tackinthebox.com/horsewares/boo...wraps/HC109.htm

Jingles for your mare - I hope she is doing better.

Okay....this is absolutely ridiculous!!!! You get banned for asking for a link to ice boots yet they are continuing to let the accusations and arguing go on on that 50-some odd page "Recovery Mare" thread? Uh huh........yeah! :brickwall: :huh:

Norsire - I hope your mare is doing better! :luck: :luck: that she recovers quickly!!!! Let us know how she's doing!

That is just downright cruel and that type of behavior is the exact reason i did not renew my subscription to the Chronicle. I can't believe a magazine would be willing to lose $$$ on someone that behaves so irrational.

Don't get me wrong.. moderation is needed but COTH has gotten ridiculous with what it will and what it will not allow.

Norsire, first I hope your mare is receiving the treatment you are desperatly seeking. I'm dealing with a foundering issue as well this year with a maiden mare due to foal shortly. Keep us posted on her treatment.

As for the COTH, I have basically given up on that site as I appreciate this one so much more! I get so tired of the bickering and the elitist attitude over there.

Sounds like Erin is on the rampage. Sorry Norsire.

Having been banned myself in the past, I hear ya. This instance sounds completely out there though. I at least knew what I was banned for. Sounds like this is really not right.

I don't enjoy COTH that much anymore. I just am on there now for the breeding information mostly, but I stay away from the other forums.

I certainly don't see how that particular post was in violation of the rules, but perhaps this was the straw that broke the camels back, so-to-speak?

I hope your mare recovers, Norsire.
