I was banned from your forums for some inexplicable reason.

My opinion only since this is your site: THE MINIMUM (referred to as Common Courtesy), at least here is the USA would be to state WHY.

It would kind of be like getting a Traffic Ticket and written on it is:

NO Particular REASON: just having a bad day.

I may boycott your Products and post that on EVERY usenet group I belong to, or not.

Haven't made up my mind if this HUGE 24MB rogram is worth the trouble with SAS, SpyBot and Kaspersky.

Very Rude behavior.

Disappointed in your conduct.

Hello groucho,

Your account was suspended for 3 days beginning Jan 29th (or 30th depending on your time zone). That is because you posted an obscene, vulgar and objectionable image in your posts.

An automated email was sent to you stating:

groucho,
Your member account at Lavasoft Support Forums has been temporarily suspended.

Your account will not be functional until Feb. 1 (depending on your timezone). This is an automated process and you do not need to do anything to expediate the unsuspension process.

Board Address: http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/index.php


Your account is not banned (yet) unless you continue to post objectionable images or content. You ARE under indefinite moderating queue, meaning any posts you make have to be approved by a Moderator before they will become visible (if approved).

Please note also that the objectionable image was reported to Photobucket and they have also chosen to remove it from their servers as it violated their terms of service.

Our terms of service can be found here: http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/index.php?act=boardrules

Edit to add Obscenties in your topic title have been edited.

*YOU* HAVE MY EMAIL ADDRESS, RIGHT?

I AM NOT THE ONLY MEMBER OF THIS HOUSEHOLD THAT USES THIS 'PUTER.

I COULD CONCEIVABLY PUNISH WHOEVER DID THAT (unless it was a war-chalker) IF I KNEW WHAT HAPPENED!

WHAT KIND OF OBSENITY WAS POSTED?
Language, images OR WHAT is all I'm asking! sad.gif

I WAS A BUSINESS TRIP WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED AND I AM THE ONE WHO HAS TO $PEND THE $$ TO REPLACE THIS IF ONE OF MY CHILDREN GOT OUT OF LINE!

BANNING WITH NO EXPLANTION IS ABSURD!

I am simply trying to get to the bottom of these forum bans: and this isn't the only one that occurred recently.

You must not have teenage kids, obviously.

Stunned and confused: Wondering if your Products are even worth having with sort of (dubious) support.

Your account was suspended for 3 days, as explained above. That is because an objectionable image was inserted as your Avatar and appeared on every post you made in this board. I deleted it once and it appeared again the next day. Therefore, your account was suspended for violation of the Terms of Service above explained.

An automated email was sent to the email address you have set in your email settings (see: My Controls link at the top of the forum.

If your children have access to and are using your password to sign in to this board under your account, then yes, your account is responsible for any violations and that will not be a consideration. I'm sorry to hear you think that may be what happened. In order to protect your Forum membership by abuse, you should immediately change your password and keep it away from others.

The vulgar avatar was uploaded to Photobucket and linked from there. This was the link used (now removed at Photobucket after reporting it)

You can see by the image name that it was intended for abuse (and it WAS objectionable and vulgar)
Image file name: turd_avitar_for_lavasoft.jpg
That avatar/image was also reported to and deemed objectionable by Photobucket and consequently they removed it from their servers.
groucho
Yes they did delete it.

I think I will ban my cat because she is prone to those laying in a box inside my house and ask the city to ban ALL the Dog walkers who seem to LOVE wub.gif
the telephone pole in front of my house.

Blessed is he who in the name of charity and goodwill shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children.
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.
And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee

The PC Police are EVERYWHERE!

I'll change my roboform password and/or forget even considering your Improved (?) 24MB Product.

My sincere apologies for that evil T * R D picture, and the disruption of this forum. wink.gif

Thank you for the 3 day(only) ban, seriously.

oBey ban$ buyer$ who refuse to PAY for a whole Month! sad.gif
And then they sick Pay-Us-Even-MORE, Pal on you. sad.gif

For sellers hocking stolen property: THEY get banned for 6 whole months! (if they're a Power Seller)

Sorry: I'll take steps to insure t*u*r*d pictures don't appear again.

Yep -->It's my responsibility to insure they don't view those disgusting things until they are 21, (or) are toting M-16s & grenades in Iraq.

What's "real" mean?


( I put the *'s in there in case some poor innocent youngster ever tries to google that evil thing.)

Please define real and I will respond since I'm being heavily monitored by the PC Police at lavasoft.
Are you from California?

My oldest son's internet priviledges have been banned for 3) days: Does that satisfy everyone?

Reason for banishment: edited for content, "shouting, posting of evil human excrement" etc
