Hello,

I just made an account under TheBannedSymphony and was immediately banned. I believe there is a misunderstanding, and would like to be in touch so that there is mutual communication and awareness.

Let me be clear, I have made an account for a single purpose. To share The Banned Symphony.

I understand this rings alarm bells. Allow me to explain.

This is a very unique case, and is not self promotion. The Banned Symphony is not attached to any real entity, and so is not promoting any real entity, nor is any money or other form of transaction involved in anything involving The Banned Symphony.

The Banned Symphony is a vast musical journey, 14 hours long, comprised of a multitude of existing music made by various, real entities. You will be familiar with many, artists such as Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Supertramp, Nujabes, Massive Attack, are a few of the many artists featured in this work.

You can check into this for yourself, here, where a Programme is available to download: https://goo.gl/AWqbK3

You can also view a 'trailer', on Youtube, here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IO9XlQrEt2Y

To reiterate, there will be no profit come from this, not monetary, and not personal. There will be no personal identity attached to this work.

I will be streaming The Banned Symphony live as an interesting event to mark the release of The Banned Symphony, and it is this live stream that I would like to share on the forum as soon as possible.
https://www.twitch.tv/thebannedsymphony

Thank you,

The Banned Symphony

This is a forum for people who love music, yes?

And when someone shares a piece of music, are they promoting themselves?

This work is built out of love for music, to be enjoyed by others who live for music. It is not promoting a self, it is sharing music.

Who is harmed by this sharing? No entity is profiting off this. This should be an exception to your rule, as it is a highly unique case and the rule was not made for this.

I never get hate mail.
I really wish I could enjoy banned spammers bitching about it.

My best hate mail PMs come from pissed off regulars.

I guess you can have this exchange with JGuy that I had since he's gone. I don't have the PMs that started it all, unfortunately.

My skin has grown very thick over the years; you have no idea. This isn't the first time I've seen posts like this on these forums, and I've kept my mouth quiet about it until now. I'm fine with you not agreeing with Christianity. I'm not on this forum to discuss religion, but I don't think I can accept this apology. It was hardly sincere. I expect one religion to get the same treatment as any other here, and I doubt even you'd go off and say that about some other religions based on your position as a moderator.

And personally, I'm worried this isn't the first time you've done this, and I'm sure this isn't the first religion you insulted. Honestly, I'm surprised a moderator doesn't seem to know limits on trolling. I'm not going to ask for an apology or hold a grudge. I think grudges are usually stupid. But I'm worried about the next time this kind of thing happens.

I reported you partially for my personal feelings on my religion and my feelings on having a moderator be so insensitive. This is likely the last thing I'm going to say to you on this conversation: I won't force an apology. But moderators, even trollish ones, can't expect everyone to be offended at nothing. I'm sure there's something that offends you greatly, and you won't catch me saying it to you.

So he's thick skinned but making fun of his religion is totally off limits? Ok, sure thing.
