Re: Banned for Private Profile

I don't see how responding to it and locking it can be rude, specially when the forum rules state very clearly that rants are not allowed and users may not appeal site bans here.

Clearly not enough, and I sure hope this is volunteer work and people aren't actually getting paid to do this. There cannot be that many banned people, and if there are:

There ARE people that deserve it. There ARE scammers and trolls who are looking for trouble. That is not me, and I am pretty sure it isn't the numerous other people who are banned for the same reason. Not ONLY am I denied the service, but that heavily impacts my ability to trade, as well as receive offers. People are not only afraid of trading with a banned user, but are threatened by the site for doing it. I don't deserve to be treated like the plague for having a private profile. That applies to everybody, ESPECIALLY the ones waiting months for their appeal to get looked at. Completely unacceptable.

This is and has always been voluntary work. And you don't know how much work is put into this, or all the surrounding circumstances to make a statement that it is not enough.

Everyone deserves it. It is in the rules. You do it you get banned for it. We do not care who it is, doing it results in a ban.

I'm not here to cause trouble. I've said my mind. If the admin can't put themselves in my shoes and understand where I'm coming from, then it's just going to keep happening. But if I can get somebody to actually think about it, maybe people won't have to wait months for their appeal to be read. Being blunt may get me in deeper trouble, but being passive will get me completely disregarded.

You request us to put ourselves in your shoes. Have you put yourself in our shoes? Apparently not, as you have absolutely no idea about how things work on our side.

You don't get to say we are putting no hours in. Or that we do this and that. You have absolutely no information to make such statement.

These are the type of responses I'm not looking for. I'm trying to get a point across to sensible people, not brainless damage-controlling from people who've only read the title. Please refrain from replying, thank you.

There is nothing wrong with what he said. You, however, decided to insult his intelligence. Way to go at making your point across, you earned a forum ban for that.

I'm providing critical suggestion to a free service. A service I've even considered donating to. Like I said, none of this. Trying to keep this mature and not full of closed-minded damage control.

There is no suggestion anywhere, just a rant.

Please, I am BEGGING you to read the initial post. Signed has been blocked, ignored, and reported accordingly. That entire section of the thread is completely irrelevant to my point. Now if YOU would like to read, perhaps we can get some kind of understanding going.

Your invalid report will increase the ban time as it is not a revenge tool. You don't get to punish users for not agreeing with you.

Originally posted by Nue:
There is nothing derogatory or insulting in the original post. It won't even take 3 minutes to read the initial post, I promise. Furthermore, I provide a lot of crucial points.

Again, just a rant.

I had my profile on private for not even an hour, my profile was PUBLIC when I offered in the trade. In fact, it has to be in order to post. I was reported and banned before I even realized what happened. Where's the justice? You don't know the conditions, so don't lash your tongue at me.

It doesn't matter if it is private for 1 minute or an entire year. The rules are very clear that you will be permanently banned for it. I see absolute justice here.

I don't mind waiting my "turn". However, I do find a week to be unacceptable progress. I genuinely feel sorry for the people who have to sit and wait months, that's just carelessness. This paragraph is the entire point of my argument. You can say they work hard, and I've even been told there's divisions mods are assigned to, but clearly somebody isn't doing their job. Do not defend that person. It is disrespectful to me, and everybody else who is sitting in line. I've gotten better service from the DMV.

If you find it unacceptable, do something about it. Sponsor our staff so we get something good out of our work other than people like you who do nothing but complain when they are wrong. Or run your own million user site.

If the ban had been timed instead of permanent, I wouldn't even be here right now. The fact that I have to wait on somebody to unban me at their leisure because of a private profile is unacceptable. Even more so when the "at their leisure" is followed by a title card saying "To be continued". Nobody is trying to cut in line, I'm just trying to get the line to actually move.

Private inventories have always cause permanent bans. Always. On. Every. Serious. Trading. Site. And you have to wait because we manually check accounts and check whether bans have been issued for this in the past, beside doing background checks and whatnot.

Closed-minded is an insult? The man jumped in this thread without reading anything but the title. I blocked him, and I ignored his posts. I'd hate to actually be banned for that, given the level of maturity and overall lack of interest in pursuing a one-sided fight, but I wouldn't be surprised.

"brainless damage-controlling" is an insult.

Anyways, to wrap this up, yeah I'll probably visit that sub-forum. I might as well visit the mod application one, too. I'd have more done in a day than they've done all year.

Do not bother. You would be insta-declined.

Oh, and by the way, I'd like you to see you banning tens of thousands of users in a day, scammers included. Or doing a hundred thousand report/support/appeal tickets in a day. Or running periodic checks on 950k accounts in day. And also handling a hundred staff applications plus a few thousand forum posts a day. Wow it would be so great for the community, doing all of this in a day for no pay, but not here, thanks.
