I have friend who's banned from this page for no reason at all.

I just can't understand why.

What if someone has to reply a very important Q/A ?

What if some one have very important message to retreive ?

If this is some kind of bug ,please fix it A>S>A>P.

Is there any special reason wich can lead to someone to be banned for no reason at all?

Please reply a very reasonable answer.

((come on ; banned for no reason???))
((I could could be banned for this))

Regards.

There's two sides to every story, I'm sure.

The best course of action would be for your friend to email Jeremy about this to discuss the what's, why's and where's.

This subject isn't really appropriate for public discussion and is best kept in private between those involved.

Not knowing whom your talking about, I'd say if somebody was banned simply for being over eager he/she has a legitimate complaint.

Baned users always have the option of massaging Jeremy the site admin if they think they were treated unfairly.

Things to avoid that will certainly result in a ban:

1) SPAM
2) Breaking the same rule repeatedly after being warned.
3) Bad language, racial slurs, insulting members/moderators.

I can assure you of the few people I have actually baned all of them fit into one of the above three categories.

Tell you what;

Maybe he's breaking the rules, but what rules? could he be forgotten or misplaced.

Bad languange? some are not good at English ;this could be languange gap.
I see worst English but not banned at all.
Insult? We are civilized person ; We never insult others.
SPAM? come on...We are not children.

He was banned for what he's doing, but banned again for no reason???
______________________________________________________________________
Frankly to tell;
He actually want to DONATE to this site.
After what you've done to him, I can't commented it out.

I hope someone have better consideration of banning, wisely.


Best REGARDS

John,

I just couldn't help myself:

I hope "messaging" is the best way to dialog with Jeremy.

Of course, we'll surely see what he prefers now.

LOL... maybe he was banned for rubbing Jeremy the wrong way.

its weird, but both massaging and messaging would make sense...

LMAO!!!

This topic isn't really appropriate for a public discussion. If you and/or your friend wish to discuss the reason why he/she was banned, please take it offline, and contact the site admin (jeremy) or any of the moderator team via Email to discuss the particular situation.

As a general comment, user bans at LQ are pretty rare, and are only used as a last resort. Really the only situation that I've see where an immediate ban is applied (and deserved) is in the case of massive, blatant spam. As for the LQ Rules, there are links to the rules throughout the site.

Well I'm gratefull for all the reply corcerning this matter.

He'd solved the problem apparently.
It's all about browser BUG from IE or cookies from the site (presumably) after took off from ban and banned for up to 24 July started yesterday.
Now he's able to login after wipe out all the system.

I don't know this is a coincidence or what........

Thanks to Jtshaw&JW.

I can only guess as to the situation... however... I certainly did not mean misuse of english as bad language. As you can tell by my last post... misuse of english is certainly something I'm not immune too.......


John

Just for clarification, you have to do something pretty severe to get banned from LQ. As a percentage of activity we have, it's a *really* small percentage and you'd have been publicly or privately explicitly warned before you were banned (unless the account is an obvious throwaway spam account or something similar). If he just plain couldn't access the site, he wasn't banned - that's not the behavior he'd see. It seems odd that the first assumption was the he was banned, when the symptom is more indicative of a connectivity problem. At any rate, if anyone is banned and thinks they were banned unfairly, they are free to contact me privately and discuss the issue.

Hi,
I'm supprise with all the replies.

I was actualy 'banned' for one day after I had made 2 similar posts wich I did not intent to do. After I made 1 post at the time I was able to log-in again I'm blocked for days(upt to 24 July 2k6).

As you can see I'm still 'banned' right now, if I didn't wipe out my system.

I assumed there's something wrong with the cookies inside the IE.

My best regards
Boby.
