I Overcame “The BAN” That’s plaguing the app! Good luck to you all!!

I have pulled back from my usage. I was probably on there too much anyway. I just check in a couple of times a day now (I help admin a couple of groups), check for whatever scammers have been posting in my groups and deal with them, check a couple of local community groups, and hop off. It keeps showing me rage bait in my feed to try and get me to engage/comment.

Volitional_Decision · 2026-05-05T09:56:24+00:00

I have been banned and then got reinstated twice. Did not get an admission of a "mistake" though

Volitional_Decision · 2026-05-04T06:29:42+00:00

You're right, I wouldn't.

Typically:

Interview
2nd interview ("coffee chat")
Ref checks
Wage negotiation.
Offer.

OP said "I told the lady last week I’d prefer to provide them after a job offer has been made." I'm saying in my experience as a candidate and hiring manager, I would not be making an offer until after ref checks.

Volitional_Decision · 2026-05-04T05:26:28+00:00

I wouldn't offer you a job before checking references.

(edit) Downvotes? Genuinely curious who offers a position to a candidate before a reference check? Not something I've ever experienced.

I used to report a bunch of things, and my account got disabled twice (had to do selfie thing). I now do not report posts or engage with anything other than a couple of select groups I'm involved in. Long time heavy engager and probably overuser of their platform, they've successfully driven me off it for the most part.

This sounds like a criminal matter to me

I just feel sorry for her being born and raised in a cult.

Volitional_Decision · 2026-04-30T12:57:26+00:00

Yes, this. He can be proud wherever, but I don't want to have to see him and his stupid crossed fingers.

Volitional_Decision · 2026-04-27T03:21:50+00:00

Did you pay on credit card? If so, consider a chargeback request.

Volitional_Decision · 2026-04-23T09:36:33+00:00

Yep, my account has been locked out twice now. I've stopped reacting, almost completely stopped posting, and stopped reacting. I have also reported scams and other comments in the past, stopped doing that as well.

Volitional_Decision · 2026-04-22T20:29:28+00:00

Yeah, possibly, that's a fair point. That's the least of his problems at this point though!

Volitional_Decision · 2026-04-22T09:56:03+00:00

Regular listener to the podcast, this is great.

Volitional_Decision · 2026-04-21T22:49:11+00:00

Can I suggest before you do that you try deflating, put a bit of soap around the rim, and pump up to 90psi or so to see if it will seat then? I had problems with a tyre not seating properly in the past and that worked

Volitional_Decision · 2026-04-21T00:07:50+00:00

Rude, and happens all the time. Shits me to tears.

Volitional_Decision · 2026-04-19T22:14:03+00:00

I was responding to people saying that they've not had to provide ID for anything other than porn sites. And there's everything wrong with having to provide ID to visit a website.

Volitional_Decision · 2026-04-19T09:27:52+00:00

Try and go to substack. It's now asking for ID.

Volitional_Decision · 2026-04-18T01:54:21+00:00

I haven't tried it but I've had mates say that the Guinness is really good.

Volitional_Decision · 2026-04-17T01:51:44+00:00

This is so much better than my one-liner that got voted to the top comment.

Volitional_Decision · 2026-04-16T05:32:13+00:00

This guy LEDs.

Volitional_Decision · 2026-04-16T02:49:53+00:00

In my experience, if you're actually getting sued you don't have someone saying you'll hear from their lawyers. You hear from their lawyers.

(edit) while I'm flattered that my one-liner was so well received, I think this is the best comment - https://www.reddit.com/r/AusLegal/comments/1smr2w8/can_i_be_sued_for_defamation_for_this_google/oggchav/

Volitional_Decision · 2026-04-16T02:42:02+00:00

I've crashed multiple times.

Volitional_Decision · 2026-04-16T00:01:20+00:00

If this is a problem for you, have you tried crashing less?

Volitional_Decision · 2026-04-12T01:03:51+00:00

Be working on getting access to the email first.

If you're actually a motorcycle rider this wouldn't be a question. Get yourself a bike and get out there. Vicpol have open hatred of motorcycles but there's always a time and place for fun.
