I am guessing that you are French. Your written English is rather good.

If you are referring to the Yellow Vest movement, Wrong Planet had several threads about the demonstrations taking place in France.

Why is a francophone message board called "Zebra Crossing"? Couldn't they find a name that sounded a bit more French?


It's from France. They like to use English words for some reason.

Tomatoes, how many different languages do you speak/read/write?


I speak/read/write in French. In English, I can read/write/listen. I would like to learn some other languages one day.

I was banned for life. The reason they said yesterday for my new ban, is that I was a 'clone' of my former self, which was banned for life for 'aggressive comments'.

I could care more about their ban. But now I prefer to write for my own discussion board.


So did you make aggressive comments this time that got you banned, or they just didn't want you back so they banned your new account to?


I was banned for life. I didn't make aggressive comments this time. It wasn't a new account, I had it (Frederique1) for several months. I found their banning of me an immature act. They learnt that I was previously 'Campagne Radis'. They have a policy where if you get banned for life, it's the person that is banned for life. But what I consider particularly preoccupying, is that they deleted two of my comments. Those two comments were about my HPUqu forum. It's possible that they have a new moderator, who tend to gravitate toward craziness. In France, they like to talk about the "perverts narcissiques". Their new moderator is then a PN.

France is crazy right now. There's a new revolution preparing there. A crazy time.


Sounds more like you were banned for life and they simply enforced that ban you already had by banning your new account. I mean what did you even say to get banned for life....?

Either way you'll probably have to find a different forum for speaking french or whatever exactly it is since it's likely if you try to make more accounts they will ban those to.

I'm not an expert on French (I took Spanish in high school), but there was a thread that appeared to translate as "Cat Olympics." There should be a cat Olympics. They are the most natural athletes in the world. All the best runners and tennis players in the world have the movement and athleticism of a cat.

I don't know exactly. I believe they banned me because of a sequence of similar comments I made. They first banned me for 1 week for "flooding", and then again, and again. A problem was that in 2016 I lost the email address that was associated with my 'Campagne Radis' account. So I they tried to contact me about the first several bans, I couldn't know.

They said my comments were aggressive. I disagree. I can get intense, but it's not with the goal to harm or reduce the freewill of my cocommenters. Also, they are French, and I am a Quebecer. The North America mentality is different from the psychotic mediocrity of the land of psychoanalysis (France is heavily invested in psychoanalysis).

If you're very curious, I put here a screenshot of something I wrote on facebook:
