Had a question, here in the USA a friend of mine was on a internet chat forum and was banned because of differing viewpoints on topics.
He signed back on using a different user name and the moderator discovered this and banned him again. The moderator then quoted a portion of the "I agree" disclaimer in which it states that if a banned forum member tries to sign back on using a different user name or e-mail, they agree to a $7,000 reinstatement fee. and the moderator threatened to file a lawsuit against anyone trying to come back after being banned.
Is this possible? Nobody ever reads the agreement or disclaimer page, let alone a $7,000 fee for someone returning to a forum after being banned.
Has anyone ever seen this enforced? Is this even legal for them to do?
This seems absurd to me. I've never heard of this before.
