I didn’t get banned for a raging post, or even for a post at all for that matter. I got banned because I don’t have a union card in my wallet! Here is the notice I got:
vBulletin Message
You have been banned for the following reason:
Not a Teamster/Union Member
Date the ban will be lifted: Never
Now that I think about it I can’t ever remember the teamsters described as “friendly”
According to TDU (they haven’t banned me yet) the teamsters union is accusing Allied Systems Holdings INC. of breach of contract and asking that each teamsters get reimbursed all wage concessions retroactively with interest!
Update: I have reviewed the rules page at teamsters online. In their defense it is right there in rule #3 that us non-union guys are not allowed to sign up. What I found real funny was the very first sentence in the rules was:
TeamstersOnline.com is a friendly place.
The Transportfool isn’t buying that one though!

I doubt that they are actually checking the union rosters. I think I got tagged because I made no effort to conceal who I was and that I was not union. But now that you posted here you are probably a marked man!!!

Hey Dave,
I wouldn’t read too much into it. It’s nothing personal. We are just trying to keep it Union. Every forum we (Teamster members) go we have to deal with people who don’t like us because of it, so it’s nice to just have a forum to go to where we are among brothers.I also realize that you weren’t debating and causing a ruckus out on the open forums. I Thank you for that. So the ban almost seemed unwarranted.
I personally have no problems at all with you or your site here, and have checked in several times.
Good day to you, and God Bless.

TeamsterOnline may be a friendly place if you are walking in lockstep with everyone else. If you have stong opinions that differ from the majority of the community you are quickly ostracized by the moderators.
Some of the moderators are really out of control, one in particular who calls himself WestCoast (many of us call him Wet Toast) seems to think he is god, and will delete any post he disagrees with.I started posting at TeamsterOnline because I thought it would be an intelligent forum where varied opinions could be presented and discussed. Nothing could be further from the truth.
If you are looking for spirited discussion this place is a time waster. -

I can’t stand that place anymore. They seem to think that they are the only forum that we can go to. How many people have been banned from there for just criticizing the way they over moderate? Now that they are on the “International Blog Roll” they are a ton worse!!! Thanks for exposing them Transportfool!!!
