Digital Point Forums are turning to crap.
I just got banned from DigitalPoint for 7 days. Any explination? God no. Just a link to some page where some aaron nimocks guy said that their banning everyone who makes a slight discression in the BST forum, or people that have in the past. That’s fair, right?
You know what’s also clever? The ban message links to a DP post. Oh, oops. We’re banned, we can’t read it.
I’ve got no infraction points. No warnings in the last 5 months. And hey, let’s ban me. Thanks guys.
I’m going to think twice before I bother to go back there, I think.
(I actually found enough reason to pop-out of my RSS reader for this one.)
Over looking his various posts. Including the one about the new policy of seven day bans from within the BST forum. (Which for those that don’t know, BST is short for Buy, Sell and Trade.)
I find it to be fairly interesting that being he is unable to match the spelling and grammar of myself. He claims that his is in the US Army (via the occupation field in his VB Profile.)
Mind you, I’m 16, British living in the states, He is probably 27+ living in the states.
After doing a good bit of “snooping” around the DP forums, I was unable to find your profile or posts. But simply via reading the posts of Moderators and Administrators on the forum, I have a strong feeling that your ban was probably unjustified.
Does just kind of make you wonder,
“Bloody Hell! How did *he* end up in the management position?!”
I hard about DP’s banning streak…but DP is basically there for people to make a quick buck.
Hi,
I went to log on this morning to DP and I received the following msg,
You have been banned for the following reason:
forums(dot)digitalpoint(dot)com/showthread(dot)php?t=….
Date the ban will be lifted: Jul 28th 2008, 5:00 pm
I have no idea why I have been banned?
My last post was just to ask for information, I have not had any disputes with any DP members, no received any bad Itraders or given any. I have not been bumping threads
Is there any way of contacting the DP moderators as I feel this ban was a mistake?
Going to check out my DP profile right now….
Seems though I am not banned, ah well, I’m sure it’s going to happen sooner or later – probably sooner

All of the ridiculous banning has made DP unusable. You can’t negotiate a deal in the B/S/T forums because the person you’re talking to is likely to be banned before you can finish the deal.
A bunch of DP’s top posters have left DP and created a much better webmaster forum at NetBuilders.org.
Instead of returning to a forum that obviously doesn’t deserve you, why not take a chance on a web forum that actually wants you?
