Why freshseasons seasons was banned?

One reason why?????????

was he spamming?
was he breaking forum rules?
was he posting offensive messages?
was he fighting with ninjas?

....the answer is no to all the questions above , then why this happned ?

i remembered why praka123 (with that avatar of the cat whith attitude ) was banned innocently , and now this .

the thinkdigit moderaters are chosen among the million and without giving warning ? without advertising ? without commenting ? are banning people straightforward ?

this happned to him , tomorrow this can be happen with me , 3morrow with you ?

so should we sleep or rise ?
lets all unite and unban freshseasons .

PS: (Porn) Tag is added to invite people to visit the thread , because these days nobody cares to see normal threads , simillar case with (girl) , (sex) , (H264) tags .

I joined Think Digit in 2004....and am one of the oldest members here.. Today suddenly when i logged in it was displayed Banned for offensive posting.
i searched all the posting through my original username " freshseasons" and couldnt come up with a single offensive post.No warning nothing i was just banned? :-x

Why is this happing....Who ever banned me can you direct me to the reason as to why was i banned.Is there anyway of knowing why was i banned and who did this stupid thing ?
Thanks max_demon for the support !

^^ Anytime

Re: (PORN)Why freshseasons seasons was banned?

I see u r really pissed off...

Though u need not add PORN tag, we all love "freshseasons"...and his friends will be there fort him.

I don't know but, in my lifetime (in this forum) I've seen unjustice...ban of Rohan (victor_rambo), mrintech, ichi(still a misery)...

And, yeah...u'll be banned for this and may be me too for replying...

As I say "Democracy is a myth"......

Re: (PORN)Why freshseasons seasons was banned?

Whoa! from quite a few days I am seeing that mods or maybe admins are banning a user for nothing. I have seen freshseasons return after quite a few days but I never any offensive post by him. Nor did I see him spamming either.

Sorry Admins and mods.... even if freshseasons made some offensive post(though I am sure he didn't) he should be warned atleast once in public in the thread where it is done on the first hand before banning.

Re: (PORN)Why freshseasons seasons was banned?

i think mods are frustrated as the forum is loosing it's charm. Mods, take a few days OFF. I think you are trying too hard. I mean you have to contribute in the mag and here. We can understand your problem. And the frustration is the cause for banning the users, miserableing them or deleting/locking threads for simple reasons.

I'm recommending to start a thread in chit chat section or separate section where you will give your explanation for banning a user.You know that You should not ban a user without the proper reason. And if you have the proper reason, tell it in that thread. Same goes to the deleted threads.

So, saving your server's space by avoiding this kind of threads...(hay! no offense meant to maxdemon)

Re: (PORN)Why freshseasons seasons was banned?

For no fault of mine or justification of anything i was banned.I dont think i can take this.I feel ,Since May 2004 the day i joined this forum,i think i have wasted all my efforts.
I think its time to move on to another sensible forum where there is justice and level playing field.Atleast where people dont ban you right ,left and center.
This forum is like a roulette system.Anyone can be banned randomly.

Re: (PORN)Why freshseasons seasons was banned?

There's really no need to lose it. I've contacted a mod about your ban. Give them a chance to respond. It's not even 24 hours since your ban.

Re: (PORN)Why freshseasons seasons was banned?

yea lets w8 for their answer
bt this is not a good way not at all warning and just banning one of the oldest member of the forum.

Re: (PORN)Why freshseasons seasons was banned?

I am not sure what happened, and I am not justifying admins if they did this without any reasons .. but

@freshseasons,

Did you contact the mods / admins by pm and asked what is the problem ? May be kalpik or some other mod will be able to give some info on this. I think that is the best way. And please do not expect an instant reply from the mods as they are not full time here and they do not get paid for their job (AFAIK). So my opinion is, please pm admin and some mods and please wait for their reply. And if you do not hear from them for a considerable amount of time, then it is a different matter.

Also, regarding Praka and Rohan (agin not blaming them), they both were short tempered, they were getting angry very easily. Might be others took advantage of it and both left the forum

Please do not think you wasted your time here. I know you are an old member and you contributed a lot here. People got benefited from your posts, so please do not leave the forum.

Re: (PORN)Why freshseasons seasons was banned?

Hi!

I am no longer performing my Moderator duties at ThinkDigit. In fact, i do not visit the forum anymore. The admins dont care for us, so why should we care for the forum? All they care about is introducing more and more stupid themes.

Anyway, you were banned by "Lucifer". Don't know who he is.. Someone new from team digit i think. Sorry i could not help you out anymore.

I really think him for coming up with the truth.I have never ever lost temper in this forum forget getting offensive.In all my 5 years in this forum i have never ever picked up a single fight ,or even sweared using Astrix or anything.The Ban was just indiscriminate. :cry:

Re: (PORN)Why freshseasons seasons was banned?

Who is this "Lucifer"??
Never heard of him/her....

Why don't u PM, Anorion? He's one regular Admin in this forum...
See what he has to say about ur ban and "Lucifer"8)

Re: (PORN)Why freshseasons seasons was banned?

Better still, go to the Digit IRC and talk to cyberjunkie or Raaabo about this matter.

This sums up pretty much everything. The forum is going down the <enter the web equivalent of a gutter here>

You don't know ! King of the Devils

It seems from his behavior...
Now confirmed... :grin:

Re: (PORN)Why freshseasons seasons was banned?

He was banned by Lucifer for posting some offensive things against the moderators in the "Digit is Hiring" thread. Refer to this post: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1109640&postcount=28, other community members found it offensive too.
To Freshseasons, sit it out for sometime, sorry, but that's the way things are.
To everyone else, before jumping to conclusions about how the mods and admins are misbehaving with the members, think about how the members themselves behave towards us.
Have spoken to the admins, we have decided to keep the offensive posts and announce the ban in that post itself, so future offenders can know why they were banned.

Re: (PORN)Why freshseasons seasons was banned?

Yes it was indeed Offensive.
Content replaced with "******"

Just one not-so-offensive comment and...direct BAN???!!! No warning, no temporary ban.
I've seen derogatory comments previously a lot of times...it used to happen the MOD used to edit his post and remove the comment and leave him a warning message.

Why did u guys took this step...zero-tolerance??

Why I'm taking his side??
No, I'm not taking his side, its just that I'm comparing previous environment with now. And, the post for which he is banned, he even mentioned it as a joke (though a bad joke). I would still say, he got more than his offense.

I think mods are irritated with the comments on their mag and the forum. And now they are saying "We can't take it any more". Banning even for a small reason. Boy, gotta watch my mouth from now, or i may end up being banned... :))

Gees, if Mods are really serious to clean this Forum, should scan through Football Channel thread and would find plenty of iffy words.

^ red_devil ftw... :lol:

On-topic: I remember myself going through that thread, the post wasn't that offensive. It was just a joke IMO.

^^
Dont give them ideas

BTW, I see even MetalHead is no longer a mod, along with Kalpik. Anorion is also no longer admin.

Its not MODs, its the Admins who own/are directly related to Mag...
MODs are one of us with more authority(power)

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showgroups.php

Anorion, cyberjunkie and others are now members of a different group "Team Digit" and they do have moderating powers AFAIK. But I think, their names should be distinguished with a different colour.

Because we have began to trust him??

rhitwick said:

I fail to understand what do you mean in your post.

Anorion and others are now members of a custom group made by Raaabo named "Team Digit" like I mentioned above.

See, previously Admins were like God...all knew they are there but none knew how to reach them. They only showed up only when they felt so...

Anorion broke that practice...began more frequent with forum, took active part in conversations...to me at least he felt one of us...(this feeling I'm calling a trust)

now, I don't know what "Team Digit" group means. I knew color code which tells that Anorion is a mortal now :-D

When i mean Mods, i mean admins. Sorry...

Cyberjunkie, Lucifer, Static, Deutero, Raaabo and me all work for the magazine, and are all admins/mods. We just don't show up in those colours anymore.
Freshseasons posted a personal attack against some of the admins, which is why they chose to ban him. We are always open to legitimate criticisms of the magazine, the forum, and other suggestions. We come down strongly on personal remarks against any person, irrespective of who that person is, which is why, for example, Vamsi's thread got taken down. We found that some of the posts in that thread were in bad taste.
We hang out a lot in the forums, and we are ok with discussions, and even participate in some threads with umm... questionable content

. As long as no one in the forum is ashamed of showing any thread to their parents... it's cool. Feel free to speak your mind, but stay civil.

@rhitwick

Do try coming on #digit on irc.thinkdigit.com

You'll always find atleast 1 guy from Team Digit in the channel. Even I had some misconceptions, but they were cleared.

Vamsi's thread got taken down

*vamsi hides from thinkdigit*

This entire issue is nothing more than storm in tea cup 8).

aah! Strom in a tea cup is not a matter for blue whales like you. But the guy who's just banned is just a fly in the tea. So, it matters most.

I have this feeling that your are next on that list...so watch your back buddy!!!

@freshseasons, ur joke hurt someone's feeling...
Say sorry and wait till they un-ban you

@Admins, he is going to be un-banned right...??? Or this is permanent??

^ hay no offense meant to you. I was just joking. I think you have taken it seriously.

Sorry.

Not at all. I have a thick skin

[Edit]

Only thing surprise me - the post was written in May 2009 and action (ban) was taken by July end. hmmm

[/Edit]

@Anorion

Thanks for the details, it clears things.

@freshseasons

I saw the post and sorry, that is sure offensive

(Of course not a very serious one) Might be you never meant that, might be you wrote it without thinking. I think you can send an apology message (to whom you know

)

@others

The post might be the only offensive one among freshseason's posts so far, but after reading it, I think he should apologize. Especially as he is an old member, so admins / mods might have never expected that.

^ true. I also checked the post in Google's cache. The post may not be offensive for us, but for Digit staff members, it can be termed as offensive.

Anyways, for how long the ban is?

Er? Why not they give infractions rather than bans directly?

RDIT:
Hmm...After reading what he REALLY wrote, gotta say that was indeed personally offensive. There were NO swear words BTW.
Though I hope that's only a temporary ban tho (one mistake after all)
In every forum it's the same way cannot insult the admins, particularly not that harshly.

However the sad fact is that it took 2 months for Admins to actually notice it and take action. This practically sums up the state of the forum. :sad:

Dear DIGIT FORUM , MODS and all MEMBERS Especially my Hero RABOOO .
