“10 scientific objects that changed the world” Poll

 Pheobsky writes:

 

The Science museum (London) is running a poll to decide which out of “10 scientific objects that changed the world” is most favoured in the world- All of the things have a little spiel on them, and inventions include items such as Stevenson’s Rocket, the model T ford and the electric telegraph. It also includes some more recent inventions/discoveries such as penicillin, but compared to the steamy goodness of a clanking engine belching fire and steam, what chance do a couple of microbes have ?

    Dear Rowan,

    I do not believe that it is possible for you to determine that in fact, "The Steampunk" and "The Steampunk 2" are one and the same person. Simply by me saying "yeah, that's me" isn't qualification enough.

    The only forum rule that "The Steampunk" broke was the posting of sexually explicit material. That's it. Not "multiple rules". A rule. One. Also, that material was removed within 5 minutes of being originally posted. Also, "The Steampunk" does not have an account on the forums anymore.

    I, however, cannot even look at the forums. This account "The Steampunk 2" did not violate any forum rules.

    Again, I was not given a warning, or even a notice. It does not matter to me if I am allowed to ever register another account or post on the forums again. As proven by the "steamfurs" thread, there are already too many people posting on the forums. However - there are some small bits of information on the forums that are useful and relevant. Simply banning my IP from even viewing them, when you can't even be positive that it was me who was "The Steampunk", is unacceptable. At least let me view the pages, if not post.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter.

    Edit: Making another account does not make you exempt from breaking multiple forum rules.

    There were many reasons for your banning, and one of them was your posting of sexually explicit material.

    Hi,

    I don't know whether or not the same people run this page as the forums, but I was banned from the forums for disagreeing with people. I got an IP ban, cannot access any pages, and was not given a warning notice. I did not use profanity, did not post sexually explicit material, and was not "intolerant" of anyone on this account.

    One of the moderators actually said that they would ban anyone who didn't agree with them. (Sorry, I can't provide a direct quote because... obvious... I cannot access the page)

    Thank you for your attention to this matter.
