Thank you for sharing your experience. You got that one right; I concluded that I was banned for being critical, too.

Sorry, I can’t help you with that. It’s between you and the Warrior Forum, and only they can help you…which I understand they’re not likely to do.

Gosh, I just know about what is the black hat ethics, thanks for bringing it up here. And like any other said, people should stop doing that as it may causing your site to get deletion result

Hi all. Thought I’d throw this in for a laugh. I re-joined the WF recently after being “banned” ages ago for alleged spamming, (which I strongly refuted. I never promoted a product/service and never made “Wow, that’s great” type posts, so couldn’t understand how I had been spamming). (See above)

Anyway, today I read through a thread on Google’s latest crackdown on Youtube. There were naturally lots of post by people complaining about Google’s heavy handedness.

I made a short post saying that it was interesting but a bit ironic, considering how the WF has a reputation for banning people without warning and little explanation.

Literally, within 5mins, I got a message telling me that I had been banned for “breaking forum rules”.

I guess that it must have been the “Thou shalt not criticize the mighty WF in any way, shape or form” one.

They really are a bunch of arse holes.

You’ve got that site pegged, Alex, and thank you for telling us about it.

I understand your anger and frustration completely, but I suggest that you waste no more time on them. Many people have tried…to no avail.

Your experience was much like mine, Ray. The lack of integrity and courtesy emanating from the site is unbelievable. If I were you, I’d consider the matter and waste no further time on them. That’s what I did. Thank you for commenting and telling your story.

Was just banned from warrior forum for calling out a member who had a WSO that was nothing more than stuff he found on the internet for free elsewhere. I showed for a fact the websites he got it from and the dates of the posted material Predated his WSO by a few months. For this i was banned for 6 months lol.

I was scammed by a character named Caiden out of $14 just prior to this for a WSO that was nothing more than something he blatently copied from a previous WSO another member had done.

I believe that website is nothing more than 1 big scamfest and the website owners know this but allow it to continue because they are making big bucks from it. IF anyone has the guts to speak out about whats going on they just ban them to get rid of the “problem”. This is no way to run a business and i plan on filing a compaint with the FTC about this nonsense.

Yes, Lawrence, we are legion; a lot of people have been banned for spamming when they didn’t. IMO, that’s a catch-all category that’s guaranteed to get you banned for life. Also, IMO, their entire problem rests on giving every member the right to ban. That’s a real feast for the power hungry ineffectual types who, in reality, are mere nonentities.

I sympathize with you about losing the WSO capabilities, but it seems that that well is about to run dry, too, as people become aware of the continued decline in the quality of the offerings. And, I agree that it’s irritating to lose some useful threads. I do think, too, that we’re on the same page about resenting false accusation.

Thank you for commenting tastefully and intelligently about this ugly situation. It’s much more compelling than ranting, cursing, and name calling.
