Where you banned for just saying that? Hardly justifies a banning, I think really, it's not like there wasn't a valid reason...

PowerHouseDan

I like how WWM also banned someone else who reported the guy you were talking about.

PowerHouseDan

I Also Reported him, The Guy was being a loser like it wasnt fair on the people looking for advice.

Draupnir

I didnt report him, maybe that was my mistake, that and going into PI at all. Ah well, you live and learn, Im gonna go back to the safety of the Soccer forum.

PowerHouseDan

MOds will ye check yer Pm asap please.

If you reported him there was no need to post in the thread was there?

How did sinking to his level help the OP?

That pm you sent me was a waste of my time, and yours. And if you sent it to all the mods on PI which I'm now thinking you did then you are wasting their time too.

Care to make any other comments that appear genuine and then a couple of posts later become factually incorrect?

PowerHouseDan

I sent you a pm Gordan you may take it as you wish But i actually really did need advise why would i be making such a big deal to get in there to be fair like.

I was also banned from PI today/yesterday for unknown reasons.. any ideas ?

Gordon

Do you have any ideas?

Advertising spam was the reason.

Coolésin

Advertisement spam? There were references and notes about where the info came from for people..You could have atleast edited it or done whatever,but I had to get banned..I posted that article out of good will and it could have helped alot of people..Oh well,PI is a joke anyway,same questions asked everyday and same answers given,influenced by tv and by people who have no experience whatsoever in the situations..everyday. And when you post something that you know about,from experience..if it hasnt happened in one of the major soaps you are argued with.. :mad:

I would have thought "done whatever" is exactly what happened.

And it wasn't a personal issue.

And PI is "a joke anyway" so I assume you're not that bothered.

I already mentioned in the original post that I didnt mind it being moved I just thought it would be best suited there..Im not really bothered about the banning I just find the effort(better word?) put in by some of the PI Mods is lacking,he could have edited it,moved it..no,he straight out bans me totally from PI and deletes the thread..

Whats worse is Thaed and Beruthiel are handing out warnings left,right and center for unconstructive comments and then you see WWM posting stuff like "I love you all",in the 'I love you' thread,and nothing is said, even though such a 'witty' little comment from anyone else would have them castrated. These little things are ignored but when I'm genuinely passing on a very interesting and helpful article to many of the users here,I get banned...

Oh joy :rolleyes:

oh do stop whinging and shut up.

it amazing how many people get all offended because they get a ban for being stupid (yes, not reading the charter is an act of stupidity), and then spout off about how crap boards is and how **** the mods are how no one knows anything at all about whatever situation. except of course you. you know all.

except you dont. youre boring. youre like every other 15 year old that comes on here and complains.

Seriously though, I think we all went through that phase where we were ALWAYS right, and those responsible were wrong, etc etc...the joys of childhood.

And about his ridiculous accusations, everyone is allowed have a bit of fun and joking provided its seen as in good taste by all parties and forms part of a generally constructive input elsewhere. Stop getting your underwear in a twist!

Maybe he's now looking for a feedback ban....

Coolésin

I cant find anything to do with spam or advertisment in the PI charter..on the other hand there are several warnings about posting without thought or concern..

So...about this 'act of stupidity'...

secret_squirrel

Try looking at the boards faq.

The whole site is a no spam posts & no advertising posts zone.

I'll take the time out to tell you why but I get to put it bluntly, probably too bluntly.

If mods have to jump around moving retarded posts that basically constitute spam to some undefined location it's going to take up a lot of their time. Crap tends to expand to fill the available time so adding more mods isn't a solution even if the admins felt that they should do that to accommodate the irrelevant crap that people occasionally post.

Hence, it's perfectly simple. Where a user hasn't been around a long time and starts posting unadulterated rubbish early on, it's easier to hand the user a slap than a happy "no, no my child" face (I'm thinking more of the dumbasses who come here with pyramid schemes and getrichquick schemes but anything at all spammy will do for our purposes here). Most of the time the decision turns out to be correct and the user continues to post irrelevant unwanted crap all over the place. Occasionally the user turns out to be a valued contributor to the community. In the first case, the user doesn't get to care as they're site-banned eventually, in the second the user doesn't care as they become a part of the community and tend to see why being harsh on spam is a good thing.

Now, you might be unaware, because most of the time the posts are probably deleted before you get to see them, but there's a serious amount of people out there trying to sell something here, advertise something here, spam something here and who don't see the problem because it's "just a few posts" from them. Your post looks just like that. It's irrelevant spam regardless of whether you intended it that way or not. If you'd posted it on any board I moderate, you might have received a ban from there for posting it. It it had been your first post on boards you might have received a site-wide ban for it.

If you're not bothered about the forum ban, stop complaining/moaning about it (you are still complaining/moaning about it by the way even if it's a purported complaint about harshness on others in some rather obvious Munchausen-by-proxy syndrome tactic). As for the post itself, it deserved to be deleted because it was spammy crud. I'm rather disappointed if you genuinely can't spot it as a sales pitch.

First of all,I've been around for the last 5 years and I only made this account to dodge an AH ban(suppose I'm fuggered now,oh well),and as postcount means nothing to me I didnt mind just ditching my main account ..

Secondly,have you even read the thread or just assuming that it actually was an advertisement or spam? I posted it with sincerity and hope that it would benefit alot of the users on PI as half the posts are about shy guys wanting to know should he make a move on a girl that he knows..

I suppose that I was a bit silly not advertisment scanning the article before posting,but I didnt think that a way of contacting the Author or references from where the Author got his information would be considered spam.. I guess I was wrong..

I guess the main reason I was bothered(yes I was,no denying it..even though I do think the forum is a bit of a joke sometimes) is that I really was trying to help out and genuinely thought it was more benefitial than most of the advice these people are given and the only thank you I got was a perm ban from the forum..And led me to thinking,well obviously anything that can be considered spam,is spam and that the charter(even though there is nothing against spam in it) is taken seriously and any breach of the charter would result in a ban..Then why does this not apply to all?
