Dave Gets Banned

You have been removed from the [ Group ]


Hi there...

This is a note to let you know you've been removed from the group. (Being removed from a group isn't permanent. You can join again later if you want.)

Note: This message has been sent to you by FlickHQ on behalf of the group. If you want further clarification about why you were removed, you'll need to follow up with a group administrator, because FlickrHQ has no say in an individual Group's administration.


Now that was exciting because I've never actually been kicked out of a group before. This is just a virtual group - so I guess it's not the same as being kicked out of a real group. But still --

So what did I do to the Flickr group? Did I say something wrong or something? (Tom Waits) The group is private and although there is a link to ask the administrator for an explanation when I click on it I'm told that I don't have rights to view the group or find out the rules of the group. Since it is a PRIVATE GROUP I can't even find it. So how did I get into the group in the first place - someone invited me. (Guess that was a mistake).

Since I haven't posted anything to the group in about two weeks - I can't imagine what I did to deserve being banished - but I have to say - it's a great feeling. Rebel without a cause and all that. If you haven't been banned from a group - you don't know what you're missing. In fact - it was so exhilirating that I may join up with more groups just so that I can enjoy the feeling of being kicked out.
