I have a question, if you are banned in a website or just like some members here. Can you still access the site? Do you think that the owner of the site should inform the member that he or she was banned from using the site? Do they need to explain why they got banned? What if you were the member? Do you think you should know why couldn't you access the site anymore?

[castbound]

Ofcourse.... Everyone would like to know whey they are banned from a certain website whether its for a reason or not and from the owners perspective I think its a must to provide a reason.

I think that if you are banned from a website, then you should be informed of it and told why so that you don't continue to make the same mistakes. But there are some sites that will ban you merely because they don't want to pay you.

I think some people know exactly why they were banned, but they try to play innocent. Even so, that doesn't apply to everyone, so I do think they should be told why they are banned.

I was banned in a forum and I still use it to read the content, but I can't post anything. If I want to ask something I just need to create a new account and ask it. It's not that big of a deal. But if it's some other kind of site, things can turn really bad for you. :S

If we think is a logical question and answer as logical, yes and I think it would be good to know why you are not allowed to be in place and why you are out of there.
I happened once to reach and close payment and money invested my time and when I wake are banned as simple as that so wanted admin that had no reason to say it to me.

I got banned from a forum and I knew about it because the owner sent me an email. The reason why I got banned is I did not reply to the owner's PM. I am new to the site I didn't even know I got a PM. I don't think that I violated any forum rule but it's not a big deal.

[arthurchappell]

They should tell you. They should also allow you access to your posts so you can delete them or copy them yourself as many users have posted the only copy of something they wrote. Many people are banned for nothing while genuine repeat offence spammers and trolls can be ignored. It's usually down to bad moderators,

Yes, they will sometimes play innocent, and then spread malicious lies about certain websites, calling them a scam on review/scam alert websites, and that is likely to ruin the experiences of others with those websites.

I hope this helps

Why was I banned?

There is no easy answer to this as accounts are banned for many reasons. The most common reasons are for setting up multiple accounts or for posting low quality posts repeatedly on the forum. If you are genuinely unsure of the reasons of your ban then you may contact us at fergalposts [at] gmail [dot] com.

if I am the member - I will ask the admin what violation I committed. And ask for a second chance, but I believe there will be no second chance, as this is a ZTP (zero tolerance policy)

[Alexandoy]

I guess those banned have a right to be informed of such status as a courtesy although I would understand if the site would not since the banning depends on the gravity of the case.

[long123]

For me personally I find it necessary to inform the member at least through email so that he/she will know the reasons why he/she got banned. Or I even would want to impose a warning system, I mean the concerned should be warned first.

I agree with you, scammers or plagiarists know exactly why they are banned from a certain website but I also think it will be better to inform them so that they will be careful and will comply with the rules next time they will join another site.

As I observed and knew from some friends who are banned from a particular site, they didn't know why although maybe they just don't want to accept the fact that they violated a rule. But as you have said, I also understand the part of the site owner as long as they are not like the site I was a part of for more than a year before I was banned and many others because we are expressing our sentiments and discouragement about the unpaid earnings.

[sprite1950]

I would think one of the most common reasons for a member being banned is multiple accounts and I noticed in a screenshot here that admin posted that bots show up so they obviously have some kind of protection against this kind of thing.

I am always looking at the members page which shows those who have been banned. On one page there is a list of girls names where it looks like someone has tried to create multiple accounts. If you're going to be dishonest try not to make it so obvious!

Do these dishonest people really deserve to be informed? It's not as if they wouldn't know why they had been banned.

[long123]

I agree. Maybe just a simple and short notification stating generally the rule being violated would be enough. I remember when I was banned from one site before, I complained (through email) and they replied saying sorry for the mixed up and its their fault that is why they reinstate my account. But I decided to go away instead since they are no longer paying its members.

Exactly. I have encountered maybe around 3 sites already who are doing these crazy things. I mean banning people when they start to request for payment. They are accusing members of violations that were never committed. The reason why? obviously because they don't want to pay.

I remember I wrote before about these things, one has a title "We are helpless here". I really find that writers or bloggers or a forum members are actually helpless when the site owner will ban someone with no valid reason at all. they are the one who control their site and can do whatever they wants, and who are we to complain? and where? that is why I told them before, we are helpless. Even if we follow all the rules if they want to ban us, there's nothing we can do but pack our things and go somewhere else

I understand your point but maybe for formality sake, regardless of the offense or violation committed anyone should at least be informed.

[AmeerKalera]

Because they hate spamming and it occurs when someone spams.

[SHOHANA]

I think the admin of this site is kind and considerable enough as i made mistakes at the beginning and lost some reputation points and learnt that how to make useful thread, so just need to be careful and we all will be safe from got to be banned. And yeah we want to be notify or warned before got to be banned for sure

[mobnepal]

I think the banned member should get notification about the reason why he/she got banned from forum or site. That will prevent him/her from doing the same thing again in future and also from preventing other member from doing same mistake.

[zidannkh]

it will be great if anybody can know his fault, i gt ban on some site and i have no problem because they notify me for my fault and I accept it.

[madhavanas]

I just say each and every forum has laid down more or less same set of rules such as no spamming, no single or 5 word comments., etc. When we look deep into to they would like the members to be more interactive and informative on their contributions. Is that right always.

[CyberFreak]

The way I see it is as follows. If the user does something massively wrong then I do not bother telling them what they have done wrong. I class this as users who set up loads of accounts to cheat or who post the same spam post in reply to every topic they can. When they are banned they should know straight away what they did wrong and probably did those actions knowing they would probably end up being banned. In these cases I don't waste anymore of my time writing a reason to them for why I banned them.

If it is a user that posts repeatedly short posts after warnings then I usually leave a short message for them to see when they next visit and find out they are banned. Basically just giving the reason of posting too many low quality posts and ignoring warnings.

Cheating/blatant spamming/Persistent low quality posts are the only reasons we ban people here so far.
