First of all I want to express my happiness and pleasure for the period I spent in EC.
EC is a great community with lots of advantages. But the most wonderful thing about EC is the people I met and the friends I had. Wooow, what amazing friends they are !!!
Each one of them has a unique personality that makes him special.
The wise … the smart … the kind … the good … the polite … the funny … the cheerful …the strong … and many more. Each one of them is special on his own way.
Back to my question .. why did I get banned ? Honestly, I don't have a clue.
Four days ago, when I tried to log into EC I found a message telling me that I got suspended, I was in shock. I wasn't sure whether I got suspended for a couple of days or I got banned completely. Yesterday, my friend assured that I got banned completely.
But what happened the day before I got banned?
I don't remember any remarkable thing except a long discussion I got involved in with a member called "cheetah". The discussion was about " Is it a good idea to talk about political and religious topics in the main chat room ?". I mentioned my opinion that these two topics always cause many fights and arguments while cheetah's opinion was these topics are very interesting topics to talk about.
After that he mentioned that none of these three religions: Islam, Christianity and Judaism denounced slavery. I respect everyone's opinion but, why does he always mention that in front of Muslims? He did that many times before, with me and my friends.
He always says these words and mentions a verse from Quran to prove his point of view. He succeeded many times to get me and my friends involved in this discussion.
My question is .. what would you do if you were me ?
I think you will have three options:
1- You will report him. But will he get banned for saying that? I don't think so, because it is part of freedom of speech to express your opinion.
2- Ignoring him. Will it make him stop doubting our beliefs every time he sees Muslims?
3- Discussing with him and proving your opinion.
I have to mention that we had argued about it before and after that I decided to choose the second option and avoid talking about religion with him , but he didn't stop repeating it.
Thus, I had to express my opinion, as he did, and defend my beliefs.
We got involved in a long discussion and I mentioned many verses from Quran as he always does. I mentioned lots of details I have to admit that a certain detail was inappropriate to be mentioned in the main chat room. However, this certain detail was mentioned before in our first discussion. In the end he told me that he is not convinced. On my side I told him "that is your opinion and this is mine."
The next day I got banned.
Now, I have a few wonderings :
-If I got banned because the above discussion, is it fair to get banned alone?
-If I got banned for another reason, Isn't it fair to know what I did before getting banned?
Guys, all of us in EC have many blogs, pics, videos, friends and lots of memories and stories. So, could you imagine losing all of these suddenly without even knowing the reason?
Guys, don't you agree with me that we should be warned and get gradual punishments before we get banned completely and lose all of our stuff, effort and time we spent in EC?
At last, I want to say that the worst loss is losing precious friends like the ones I got in EC. You are great guys and I want to thank every and each one of you.
Keep it up !!!
Wish you the best of luck !!!

@ sayuri
Thanks for your comment.
If you read carefully, i said we were discussing or it was a discussion in most of my article and i said argue only one time ... and as you can read above 2 persons were involved in this discussion so it is not "u argue" it is "we".
I didn't say i'm angry bcuz someone says "Muslim" in chat .. I said this certain topic i mentioned above caused a lot of arguing every time it is discussed.
I didn't know why i got banned and that's why i mentioned what happened the day before i got banned.
why am i ask you ??!! my answer read the last part of the article. I suggest a few things for EC members.
I must ask the admin. I agree with you and that is what i'm doing now
u say u argue & u angry of say muslim name in chat.
u banned when u argue...when u know y u ask??? & y u ask us? r we admin? u must ask admin
@ Nadira
I completely understand you. but at least i deserve to know the reason and if I got banned bcuz the above discussion then both of us should be banned but that didn't happen.
Furthermore, I think we should at least get one warning before we got banned completely...am i right ?
Hi AH_TK
I am one of the two chat moderators , and reading your blog your name registers as a calm member
One does not ban people unless they create problem going against the rule and create havoc
Some one else must have reported you over some personal / religious opinion . Yet again there has to be proof with a print screen shot .
Any one can report members with print screen shots directly to the admins
Good to see you and should any one provoke you hence do not retaliate , report them straight to the admin or to Ario or my self if you see us online
@ Mark
Thanks man :)
@ Viet
let's get banned proudly !!!! ... that's funny .. hahahahahaa :p
viet, when will be the next Flag day ? ... you have to think about changing your avatar :p
@ WMM
as I told karol ... I was like that >> O.o when i knew that
and thanks for you kind words ... Honestly, you are one of the most modest ladies in EC
Hey buddy, I feel sorry for what happened and I'm hoping that the admins would consider their way of suspending and that they would give you a chance to prove that you are and have been a worthy member of EC.
@ karol
You were shocked !!!!
I was like that >>> O.o ... when I read that I got suspended
Thank you and thanks for the flower :p
I know some members here were banned or suspended temporarily with a warning in advance. But you got it in an unexplained circumstance and you could doubt and guess the whys and the wherefores of your situation. I wasn't on EC why the conversation that you mentioned above went on... but I personally suppose that not all of the banned members here are correspondent and righteous. No worries, let's talk respectfully and if it repeats..let's get banned proudly :).
