Senior member
Join the ranks of Banned traders whose only offense is to not put your email address directly in your post.

Accept your punishement while the trolls run rampant! Don't ask why or suggest that "banned" should not be used since its defamation of character when related to such a minor offense.

This is my email thread with the Editor-in-Chief of that revered board. Such a nice guy!!!
I can't go back. Thanks Editor-in-Chief.

Quote:

Thanks. I have permanently banned your account and your mails will be rejected from here out. I am sorry you did not take your 24- hour break as a notice to follow our simple rule structure. This permanent ban will protect you from having to deal with me or our system ever again.

Have a nice day.

That real neat. You have the worst forum reputation for trolls and you lock my account since I did not put an active email account on the post AFTER you change your system to prevent access to the valid email account I gave you to establish my account.

In any event. You may want to rethink your policy.

"Banned" is a term which indicates that the person has done something ethically wrong or illegal. If you do this enough times we all might get together and create a lttle class action based on the damage to our reputations. Lock my account if you want but do not put a "banned" label on me. Please correct this erroneous impression immediately.

I did!!!
And there was nothing there that even approximated an issue that would cause this.

Please let me know what you think I did wrong.

Kyle has a banning fit every few months, has for years. You learn to lay low while he works through it each time.
 
It illustrates the "faulty" logic Kyle and his band of trusty followers adhere to:shocked:

I did my first trade/buy/sell at the H forums, but that was many years ago. I steer clear of there, and have for a few years, because of the poor communication skills Kyle and his mods use. I don't even visit the H as a news source anymore😛

AT F/S/T is the best IMO. The mods listen to complaints/issues, take trolling seriously, and have worked hard to create a fair place for us to come to.

Edblor

P.S. Thanks for bringing this our/my attention!
 
yeah sorry this happened, if you were new...it'd be different, but banning is a bit strong. I havn't posted at H for a long long time, I stopped listing FS/FT there, it'd help to have the bigger audience, but some of the people there...meh. AT is much more homey, and now that Im starting to get to know some of the senior members I feel a bit more welcome. I plan to stick it out here and stay for a while
 
No worries, another guy that I'm in a deal with atm just got banned for the same reason as well.

It'll pass.
 
I only bother post there if for some reason something isn't moving on AT, for the sake of addtional exposure.

Otherwise, I rarely bother with that place. Heard too many stories of rediculousness (is that a word?😛) regarding that forum.

I banned myself. That For Sale Forum isn't worth the enhanced risks, IMHO. 😉
 
HardOCP is full of kids and trolls. Their forums are down every other day, for weeks on end, and yes, they have a huge Troll problem. Kyle doesn't care... he is still big headed about his ~2000 year boom. One of these days he will realize that his forum and site are antiquated.
