Blastcast:
Now onto one of the more WEIRDER things that's happened to me in a while.

So yesterday I was on the FORUMS. And I was participating in about three or four THREADS pretty heavily. And eventually in the afternoon I noticed that when I would CLICK on these particular THREADS I would get this BLACK HOLE ERROR.

And when I'm logged in what happens is... is that... I can click on any thread and it's just fine. But when I click on these PARTICULAR threads either I have to be safe and open in a new TAB so I don't crash out all of SPECTRUM... cos that's EXACTLY what would happen, I'd have to go back to RSI's main website and go back into SPECTRUM because it completely and totally LOCKS ME OUT.

When I log out of Spectrum and I go into INCOGNITO MODE I can see everything just fine.

It wasn't just my PC. This happened on my PHONE.

Logged in, logged out, incognito, SAME RESULT each and every time.

So I don't know for certain so I'm not gonna say for certain. But is CIG implementing SHADOWBANS on certain threads now? Ones that they don't want you PARTICIPATING? Because this seems a bit WEIRD. Why can I see it logged out but not logged in? And I can't participate in these threads any more because of it.

I want YOUR thoughts. Is this gonna be their new little TOOL under their belt? There was NOTHING I said that they could ban me for. Especially since I was linking their OWN VIDEO of the 2014 Citizencon and explaining why TURRETS worked in that video because of PACING, basically lack of high velocity vector changes and you see how the game looked completely different back then in as far as how things moved.
