How many have been banned?

http://www.theadminzone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=108395

I was reading this thread and saw that more customers and ex customers of VB have been banned.

So how many have been banned / sent to Coventry etc on VB.com and VB.org.

Lets try to get a figure on how many have been victimized.

Not counting those whose posts have been deleted or altered in an attempt to hide the facts from other members.

 

Banned from TAZ? I was because some of the pussies there can't handle the truth. Lied through their teeth to the admin and I was cut off. That's ok, nothing there of any interest as they all seem to be delusional wanabe devs. Well most of them anyway LOL

 

Honestly, who cares at either site. They're both in the same category of uselessness.

 

I've been banned from vB for about a year now, (thanks Mark.B) and I can't say I miss spending another 5k on renewing licenses and garbage updates.

 

Content removed.

Don't quote posts from other sites.

 

See above.

 

I'm not even sure how you managed to turn this thread in to a Big al vs. Mark B thread before the 4th post, but congratulations. The guy didn't even post in this thread...

 

I have been banned a few times... and not once did I violate their posted rules.

You know if you get banned you have every right to sue them for failure to adhere to their contract with you. As part of of your license it includes support through the forum. If you can't access that forum because you are banned they they are in violation.

As I said I have been banned and did not violate and of the sites posted rules. Waynes excuse when he banned me was that he could do it because he was in charge. He could not quote me a single site rule I violated. he then said he banned me because I posted a private phone number... No I didn't post a private phone number.. I posted the main phone number to Internet Brands which was listed on the Internet Brands website. Again I did not violate any of the sites posted rules.

I have been printing our abuse that I have seen by the vBulletin support staff and have been keeping it in a box. And I am really thinking about going to ForumCON and dropping the box on the lap on whatever idiot is there from vBulletin / Internet brands. If I had the time I would even do better then that and present them with a lawsuit attached to the top of the box. Unfortunately I don't have the time. My lawyer says he has time but he only says that as he get paid by the hour.

If I do go to ForumCon, I need to make a nice vBulletin Sucks shirt and tell EVERYONE I see in attendance why vBulletin sucks.

 

Some very interesting points. I would like read about a lot of people wearing such a shirt, maybe they would finally get the message.

Shades of sieg heil right there.

I too have been banned from sites under similar situations. Then the Morons who do this get upset when they are exposed for what they are. And so they resort to insults and defamation to justify their unethical actions.
Fortunately people can see through them and can post the facts that expose them for what they are.

 

Why can so many quotes from other sites by so many members be allowed but mine are deleted? Please show me in the rules where it says that quotes are not allowed.

As I have not to my knowledge broken any rules I ask that they be re instated. Thank you.

If you feel that quoting the exact words of others, that as far as I am aware do not break any rules, are to be removed, how about deleting the defamatory false accusations and lies by Mark B against me and others that DO violate the rules. How many times can he abuse members by calling them trolls etc. And yet the fake accusations are allowed to remain while the facts and the truth are removed.

 

I'm not the one that removed them, or even reported them (I dont care enough to report stuff). But seriously, what does your squabble with Mark B have to do with this thread?

Every thread you post in has the same Mark B rhetoric in it. Does it really need to be in every single thread you participate in? You are never getting an apology that you yearn for. And you aren't getting the answers/statements you seek from him.

Making every single thread about that, really is nothing more than (try not to have your head explode here but...) trolling.

 

@signal500. I did not for one moment consider that you removed my comments nor reported it. No not every thread or post by me involves Mark, but please read my comment above.

Indeed you have quite rightly posted comments that express your opinion of things like your recent ones and quite a few others that are not complimentary to the receiver. Some of your comments are quite strong but they are not removed. Should these also be removed. I think not.

If one comment is ok then why not a few? IF I was lying then yes, the posts should be removed, but when I am quoting his exact words ( so there is no mistake) and telling the truth then I see very little justification in having the comments removed whilst the insulting false ones are allowed to remain.

How many posts on here are blasting VB,/IB and the VB staff. How many others are commenting on the actions of Mark B and other VB staff? Why are they allowed to remain whilst mine are removed. I am sure that combined there are a lot more comments by others against injustices that my few posts.

What is good for the Goose is good for the Gander. Trolling per se usually involves untruths, derogatory or misleading statements, as my comments are truthful then I consider that they do not fall under that category.
Persistence is NOT trolling, annoying perhaps but not trolling.

However posting insults and false accusations that are unproven against members for asking valid questions IS trolling and yet this is allowed to carry on. Why are people like Mark B and his cohorts allowed to post with apparent immunity while I am discriminated against for posting the truth.

We have a difference of opinion yet we are still civil and not calling each other defamatory names. This is how it should be with BOTH sides treated equally but in the case of Mark B and myself this is not the case. He is allowed to post untrue defamatory insults, yet when I defend myself with the truth and ask him to explain my comments are removed.

 

Are you banned from TAZ, as I don't undertand why you keep posting replies to Mark when he isn't posting here much, more so on TAZ. So why not aim your comments at him their, where you'll most likely get a reply from him. Unless you're banned from using that forum?

 

No I am not banned from there. I do not post there as I do not trust the owner.

 

He didn't turn this thread into a Big al vs Mark B thread. I mentioned Mark B in my post

You could also say I turned it into a vB thread if you like because I mentioned them too

 

quod erat demonstrandum,

 

Maybe you should start counting them, I've just had a post deleted on vbulletin.com. Nothing amazing about that but it did occur to me that in 15 years of posting on the Internet I've never knowingly had a post deleted before. It seems almost fitting that this outrage was committed by Mark.B. No entry in the Guinness Book of Records for me

 

I thought it would be harder to find all the many posts that had been deleted or altered so I mentioned the banning that had unjustly taken place.
It shows the amount of fear when admins delete posts and ban people for posting valid comments.
