I just got banned from Digitalpoint today. They wouldn't even tell me the reason. I just think one of their mods didn't like me since I got one infraction point every week even if I didn't go online for weeks and didn't post anything.

It's amazing how easily you can get banned from digitalpoint even if you don't do nothing, but they really like if you are a scammer or something simular.

I just lost couple of hundred bucks in sales becouse of this, lucky me.

How is your experience with Digitalpoint?

I think I only bumped 2-3 of them by mistake over a long period and I'm not saying that I didn't do a mistake. But that only makes 3 infraction points. So I really don't get it where I got all of those infraction points from.

My username is davidelvar

EDIT: I just tried again going to DP and they finally gave me a reason which doesn't explain anything at all, here it is: Bump deleters automatically nine bumping infractions.

"Nine" infraction points? They must be joking.

I got this once too but it was only temporary.

send some pm to the mods and say that you will never do it again

I can't pm them since I'm banned from the forum. Can't access anything.

Date the ban will be lifted is: Jun 12th 2008, 9:00 pm

Don't think I'm going to use DP ever again.

Just sent them a e-mail to tell me why I got banned.

It is ironic that people are banned for such minor things while people selling warez and the alike are often left to their own devices.

I have had some infractions myself and it seems that for the same thing you can get 3 different mods penalizing you

So maybe you got more than one mod discovering you bumping the thread !!!

I kind of understand you but I understand the MODS also

because DP its a jungle they have to be strict otherwise that place is going to be a mess so sometimes innocent people might get penalized ...

Personally I find DP one of the most irritating and useless heaps of junk out there. As an SEO nothing infuriates me more then the amount of pure bull that comes from that place. The marketplace is the only resource and again only if you are selling the rest well why post there when you can come to specialised forums and get answers from people who actually know what they are talking about.

Well yeah I understand the mods perspective on this but why don't they first ban all the spammers and scammers before they ban those users out there who just bumpted some threads by mistake.

The mistake that I did to get banned was that I posted a "bump" so they say and deleted it as soon as I relised what I did. My mistake was that I deleted the bump post!

The place that I visited most often was the marketplace. It was the only thing that really interested me, but most of the time I saw crappy products being resold over and over again, same useless junk but some times I discovered great products.

Huh

Nope, not imho

I have almost 1000+ post in DP and I think mods there won't get you banned unless you have done something that violates their terms and condition.
What a dork

I have received some infractions there for no reason whatsoever.  A bit infuriating.

What's the fuzz about anyway?

I don't even think that Google bots spider sites like dp anymore.
There are tons of free advertising forums out there like captain kirk & Co. How stupid must a bot bee to spider those obvious link farms? If anybody here still lives in the fantasy world of the late 90's; weak up - Google bots have learned and the bot army has grown considerably since the foundation in 98.
They have become real smart!
There are a hundred legal and clean ways to advertise a website and to get to the top of the pops of the SERPs, crappy link farm forums though isn't one of them!
If you want to have serious success in Internet Marketing, you'll have to do some serious work first!

I have had at least one warning from them before, I was trying to get help to figure out a code and they accused me of advertising.

Yep - you're not allowed to mention any url in your first posts - not even if you don't make a hyperlink out of it. That's what got me sacked there...

Sometimes even when you read through the terms and conditions which are so long and monotonous, you still do not pick up some of the "do nots" of those forums. I guess ignorance is really no exception to the law.
