Banned for life from English Amiga Board for NO specified reason - Appeal?

[kolla]

It’s a silly place.

One silly thing is that when you are banned, you no longer have access to the messages, including those that may explain why you got banned.

Another silly thing is that you are no longer able to properly close your account and leave, your profile and any personal information you may have left there is kept as hostage, no longer easily accessible to you.

And then there is GDPR…

On EAB members are banned for serious infraction(s) of the EAB rules, it really is that simple.

No it's not - no at all, it's enough to just be repetitive.

I did nothing serious to get banned, not at all. Once the "troll stamp" has been cast on you, it is used as excuse for just about anything - "Oh he is just a troll". It was written by certain people (who are not banned btw) that I've been using multiple accounts (untrue), that I was already banned on multiple forums already (untrue at the time), that I have psychologial issues (huh, 'cause everyone's a shrink? No, not at all) and more personal attack nonsense.

There is a tendency in this community that people fall into "camps", where certain "teams" and their "leaders" are glorified beyond what is healthy. It's not unique to Amiga, but this community is so tiny that this social concept is almost purified without much of the complexity found elsewhere. When an alpha-nerd says "troll", the geek followers ("minions") are only happy to act as a mob, across multiple forums and whatever. But it doesn't work in the long run, the world is larger than these bubbles, and technical problems don't vanish just because you get rid of the "trolls" that have been pointing them out. And sometimes alpha-nerds just pull the plug and sign off, leaving the "minions" in confusion, and the projects are left in disarray.

I'm not going to comment on the specifics of your case either. But I was one of the (not banned members) who called you a troll and (not surprisingly) there were many others too.

Of course there were, the same ones, again and again, that’s what I wrote. I’ve been around long enough to know how this works.

You had clearly perfected and demonstrated the technique of indirect or implied trolling. Always finding a suggestive or subtle way to turn the discussion negative.

Not for nothing - I’m not negative by default, but when certain Amiga projects again and again turn into shitshows, it’s hard to remain overly positive.

As far as the allegation of having multiple EAB accounts, I doubt it was ever taken seriously by any of the mods. It's actually possible to either prove or disprove this in most cases.

I am talking about accusations repeatedly made by other forum members, without any mods lifting an eye over that. And I can imagine there is a certain overlap with those who leave complaints.

As far as the matter of psychological issues, you have once again underestimated the expertise of the EAB moderating staff:

You can find my name if you search publications in psychological research too, but so what?

P.S. Don't worry this is a troll friendly forum and you are welcome here.

The way you and ThoR throw the troll term at each other… symptomatic.
