If You've Been Banned From Kimkins, Post Here

suzanne13 · 09-28-2007, 08:37 AM

I would like to see how many of us have been banned.

I was banned 9/25/07 for PM-ing Kimmer and asking for a refund.

jcrc1312 · 09-28-2007, 08:44 AM

I was banned last night 9/27 for TOS violation.
I responded to the post about the kk'er receiving emails, I posted an entry in my journal...nothing too horrible. It must have been my avatar

Queeny · 09-28-2007, 08:47 AM

Raising hand, I was banned last night. It said tos violation. However I never post over there and never copied and pasted. My crime is that I am a Banta Babe. It was a group Tippy was in for a short while and never got over the fact that we were on to her so fast.

Ditto!

stardust1 · 09-28-2007, 09:28 AM

Let's see I got banned last night for complaining about Melt being nasty to everybody and I asked for him to be removed. It sure took them a while to ban me for a TOS violation. I guess Heidi complained that I was attacking her, eeeerm I mean Melt, so I got banned. And many other people that complained about Melt got banned too.

I am actually happy, since I only lasted 2 weeks there, I went to Paypal last night to claim my refund. I also left my email address for them in one of my last posts so that they can contact me with hate mails

I have nothing to hide. Anymore.

I think it's a good idea to find out how many people got banned.

Kelly130 · 09-28-2007, 09:48 AM

I was banned on Sep. 19th. I had been a very active kimkins member, since June 7th when I read the Women's World article. When Jimmy Moore left the kimkins site, I started venturing out and reading, trying to figure out why he left. I found the "Fascination with Kimmer" thread and have actually read the entire 4 threads.....it opened my eyes, along with all the other blogs. When I left, I posted a long message to my challenge friends, explaining my issues with both Kimmer and her diet. I waited until most of them had read it, then I PM'ed Kimmer and asked for a refund on the basis of fraudulent advertising. I was banned within a minute, and I have never heard from them regarding my refund request, even though I also submitted a "ticket" to tech services.

ryudragon · 09-28-2007, 09:53 AM

Hey All

I was banned on 9/18 for having a 'disagreement'

with the overlord tarvosk.

HoneyBee2 · 09-28-2007, 10:10 AM

Banned I think it was 9-17 . The reason was stated as TOS violation.
No refund as of yet.

vernswifevickie · 09-28-2007, 11:10 AM

I can't remeber the date that I was banned. It's been 2 or 3 weeks, I think. I was banned for posting that I knew Kimmer was lying about Becky's, Christin's and Deni's reasons for leaving and that if she was lying about that, she was probably lying about alot of things.

CissyLynn · 09-28-2007, 08:10 PM

I was banned last weekend for a TOS violation - no warning either. I previously had requested a refund and filed a dispute with Paypal but didn't get banned for that. I made a comment in my one and only post that all I lost on Kimkins was $59.95! Guess that's what did it. I'm glad that I was finally banned since I felt like I was "steppin' out" on LCF and would come slinking back here. I only did K/E for 3 days, spending most of it in the bathroom, and my heart started racing. I know from experience that it means my potassium levels have dropped like a rock and the next stop would be the ER. So here I am just trying to figure it all out, find a WOE, and doing whatever I can to take Heidi and her website down!

Teapotts · 09-28-2007, 08:21 PM

I logged onto Kimkins today to see if anyone had responded to my post asking for my money back. Well...I'm not banned but most of my posts have been deleted...

dlslds · 09-28-2007, 08:40 PM

I was banned last night as well.

Because I am a Banta Babe and Tippy wants to get back at us, she is pissed off that we found out collectively what shes all about (lies)

I havent posted there in over a year!

the reason says ""for copying and pasting in a mean manner"" but I didnt lol

Avalander · 09-28-2007, 10:39 PM

I was banned the same day as Vernswifevicky. I posted links to some anti-Kimmer sites! Hee hee It was fun, but now I wish I could go back in and look (lurk) around.

Kristi

TerryC · 09-29-2007, 09:25 PM

I was banned on Sept.11 for telling everyone to leave and take their friends somewhere safe. Well, I wasn't banned from the site, just from the forums and chat, so I can still enjoy the diet explanation pages and all the inspirational testimonials.

Jennyl · 09-30-2007, 03:15 PM

do you have to be a paying member to go to this place?

xf89 · 09-30-2007, 06:52 PM

I was banned on 09/16/2007. I posted in the fascination thread about my journal being deleted and not even ten minutes later I was banned from Kimkins.

To go to Kimkins, you have to be a paying member (and not banned...lol).

jeanessa · 09-30-2007, 06:54 PM

You all probably know my story. I asked Kimmer if she was the woman in the pic and I was banned...it was August, I believe.

Queeny · 09-30-2007, 06:56 PM

Where is everybody? There has to be more banned folks than this.

Cutie · 09-30-2007, 06:57 PM

i was banned in april...heidi read something in my PMs she didn't care for.

wifezilla · 09-30-2007, 07:10 PM

Jennyl · 09-30-2007, 07:15 PM

Ditto...I was banned on the 18th also for questioning in this thread and then I posted "the journey" in my siggy and go banned with ryudragon.

Mommy2Many · 09-30-2007, 09:19 PM

I was banned 9/27 (I think) for answering the thread, "Should I be scared" with this:

I'm not a doctor.
Scared? No - what point does fear serve?
Informed? Heck yes. Do your research.
Educated? Um... yeah. Definitely.
My advice, and the advice of most of the people who have left the site - especially if you're having good success with this plan - is to print out your fitday (you do have a fitday, right? If not - get one) for a couple of weeks, and bring it to your doctor. Ask for a CMP and a CBC and a thyroid screening, and show him your fitday, as well as any supplements that you've been taking, and ANY side effects you've been having:
Hairloss, Dizziness, Faintness, Nausea, Ammenorhea (loss of period), Dry skin, brittle nails, foggy brain, forgetfulness... Anything that's new.
Ask him if you should be scared, if you should be tweaking, of if you should keep on keeping on.
My public stance - and private too - for record:

I joined in June. I think that most of the advice that was given out on this site between June and the whole Kimmer is a fraud thing is crap. No such thing as starvation? Since when does a layman with no personal or educational foundation have the ability to question umpteen thousands of MEDICAL DOCTORS who have researched obesity, diet, metabolism, etc? The good Dr. Atkins (formerly known on this site as Dr. Fatkins) spent 30 years of his professional life (at least) and several million dollars researching low carb and the most effective ways to LOSE FAT FOR HEART HEALTH. He was, after all, a cardiologist.
That said - The advice given in an attempt to cover the behinds of kimmer and the other admins since then has been pretty good stuff.
So yeah - do your research, but never be scared.
__________________________________________
She had me fooled, too.
But dont be afraid of her or of the truth: do your OWN research and make your OWN decision.
Read THIS. Kimkins Exposed
Then read Beckys Blog. Winning Weight Loss
Then listen to Christin: The Journey
Have a look at Deni's doctor's words: The Open Bench
Read The Truth. The TRUTH Starts Here
Read about low fat diets.
Heres what I saw when I did:
1. She lies to us AND TO HER ADMINS regularly.
2. She cant produce evidence of her weight loss (the reason we all believed her) or of her claims about Kimkins. Her success NEVER happened.
3. She denies it, but this plan hurts people

stilldews · 10-01-2007, 05:21 AM

I was banned yesterday sometime for a TOS violation. I really left the site over a month ago after putting links to Becky's, Deni's and Christin's sties. The links were there for at least 4 weeks the last time I was able to check. i think what got me banned was posting a quote in the Fascination thread from the Kimkins site. I had posted in the thread a number of other times without any complaints and never made any attempts to hide who I was. Wonder what took them so long?

jayed · 10-01-2007, 09:01 AM

I was banned on 9/15. I had placed links to Becky's, Deni's, and Christin's blogs in my signature and edited some posts in my journal to include the same links. My journal was deleted. I posted a link to the 3fatchicks article in response and was banned for TOS violation.

abbijean66 · 10-01-2007, 08:13 PM

I was banned or semi banned after I posted a link to Christin's video blog. I can still log in and get menus but I can not use the forum. I expected it. So I have only came across one person who responded negatively to my concern about the diet. Has anyone else tried emailing the networks or Women's World? I did but havent heard any responce, not that I am surprised.
