If it will makes you feel better, you are not alone. I got the same 3 month ban reason as you had and when I came back and asked them for evidence or at least asked them to tell me what is the name of my “alleged” second account, they just ban me for good.

IMHO, DP became just another Classified Ads Forum, therefor if you have something for sale, DP is the place to be but other than that, you are lucky they banned you

I am “NEONRIDER” that posted a handful of posts on DigitalPoint forum in the past. Never offended anyone, no breaking the rules, but today whemn I went there to state the fact about many faults with Amazon Affiliate website I realised I was being logged in yet logged out immuiediately. The only explanation I wAs banned. Not only that. When I tried to register again I kept on getting the following error:

I don’t have to go to DP ever again, just wanted to post this for a record. DP Forums is on my “blacklist” now. And that is a lot.

For a while I tried making some other accounts. But I was banned for a plethora of reasons. One time I asked a mod if I could close a thread and restart it. I was told yes but when I did so I got banned because another asshole member (who happened to become a mod a couple months later) said I was trying to rip people off by having 2 topics (makes sense right?!?) Since they do not let you dispute bans I could not point out how I had permission.

Then I had an account where I posted a thread in the suggestions forum in which I said they shoud allow banned users to file a dispute because of a lot of accidental or sketchy bans. Ironically another member was a dupe account who commented and somebody called him out on it. The mods are so damn stupid that they thought he was talking about me instead of the other guy so I got banned. However another member was able to get me unbanned for that one. But that still goes to show how damn stupid they are.

I could go on all day long about the stupid bans I have had. And all of the bullshit infractions for nothing at all (including 8 points in one day with not a single rule broken. and for all you fag DP supporters no i was not breaking any rules and that includes their no bumping rules. i pmed a mod arguing the infractions and when I said that I would wait off the points she responded by banning me and under the reason she said something like “this ban will make sure you wait off the points”)

But DP is bad for more then the mods and bs bans. If you go to the politics and religion discussion you will see the most racist and hatred filled posts ever on any site out there. Members like guerilla and grim are some of the biggest asses on the site that are not mod related. Not only are they extreme racists but they argue like little kids. Instead of debating they call you names and ignore your points because they know they are wrong. I once PM’ed the mods about them and how they shoudl be banned by the DP rules and the mods replied defending them and said that their name calling was not directed at me but at my ideas so it was not the same. But I am pretty sure when somebody specifically says “you are a fucking retard” that it is an attack and that qualifies as their automatic ban for personal attacks.

I wrote the post as a marketing method to open a bag (or can of worms, as some may wish to call it), which arose much needed awareness to not only newbie webmasters, but also seasoned veterans whom may not see the larger picture. Through this medium I was able to shed a light on a problem whose roots run deep throughout the IM industry itself. And DP could be considered the flagship form of this sort of typical SEO logic (Not that I expect many will agree with me on this immediately, nor do I ask them to…)

BTW though, very nice looking forum. Much better than the (non)creative “oh-I’ll-just-swap-a-few-of-the-default-skin-colors-around” look that DP has going for it.

Unfortunately, most of the startups who have risen up to take over where DP has failed have not lasted long.

DigitalPointSucks.com, for example, now points to a parked page.

Building a community is a long process. DP is currently coasting on the work Shawn did years ago, before he abandoned DP to the current “mods”.

It will be years until another community is able to grow to the point where it can effectively replace DP.

The next day I log in to DP to see what’s been done, and what do I find?

1) The fake post with the glowing review has been kept, but my post alerting people to the fake post has been removed!
2) I am now banned permanently for Multiple Accounts.

Huh? Multiple accounts? I never had a multiple account anywhere in my life. Also I suspect this is not a mistake, since my positive review was kept and the later post removed; I fully suspect that atleast one DP Mod is being a bit dishonest here.

The best part is that if you have been incorrectly banned for multiple accounts, how do you let a Mod know? You cant even create a fresh account since now that would be a ToS violation! And e-mail to webmaster/support/whois just bounces.
