This I cannot understand, it totally blows my mind and I will not even begin to figure it out.
Why to community sites that I would imagine serve the flight simulator community go an ban their own members.
Ok, I see the issue if there is a strong violation of attacking persons or breaking the law. But banning members without any cause
is to me fundamentaly wrong.
So first I got banned from X-Plane.org, but thats what I had to pay for starting xp-developer.org.
But today when reading the second latest blogg by Ben Supnik I visit the X-Plane review link and got this message
So I wonder, how the heck could one get banned from such a site? Did I read the review wrong or did I comment a review in a negative fashion.
My question would be, what could they possible be earning by banning members?
Lets tank about real reasons for banning, in my mind every site should have at least a good portion of common sence, and If the violation
is so harsh that it needs to be adressed, hell give the member a fare chance to explain him self. If the offender repetes him self, well then ban him.
Reasons I would imagine could qualify for banning
* Personal attacks on character
* Repeted trolling the site/forum
* Spamming
* Hacking, spoofing, phising, immicing etc.
* Serious violations for forum rules such as religion, sex, copyright etc.
But hell, I must have done some horrible things in order to be banned from a review site LOL...
Further more, when I started xp-developer.org I did not imagine the site would ever be a threat to anyone but more a useful resource
for developers where they can discuss while developing. Intentions where not to capture or steal members from other places and as far
as I know, the only serious place out there that acknowledge and understood this was x-pilot.com
The same could not be said about xp-aviators.com and x-plane.org where I got banned instantly.
Nevertheless, I am still live and kicking but more or less gobsmacked by these policies..
