I’ll think about….

Doesn’t give me confidence that if I join again that RetropassionUK doesn’t try and get me banned again for nothing! Or to be Trolled by them and his user fan base  :-[

The banned miggyretro account was registered anonymously with a reported location in the UK. So, the EAB moderating staff does not have confidence that you are not Jpor.

All you have is an opportunity to demonstrate otherwise. If your worried about RetropassionUK trying to get you banned again you can register under a different user name. Then after you have demonstrated that your a responsible member, you can request that the name be changed to miggyretro.

Really!? Seriously? Because I showed up as being in the same country as a banned user = I am that user?

Screw that!

I won’t bother…. Sounds to me that RetropassionUK is lining some Admin pockets with free gifts or something…

What a Joke! I am seriously not the person you claim to be..  ::)

You might as well rename it to RetropassionUK owned forums….

Hope no one else has to go through that.

Oh and just to confirm that Steve Clifford, RetropassionUK is paying off its admin staff… Check this newly banned member that your Mod/Admin TCD banned because of a back hander….

Just proving a point….

Yep that was me.  >:(

RetropassionUK and his alter ego kin hell were using harassing posts against me. Then when I put in a report to the EAB (Corrupt?) Admins I get perma-Banned with no reason whatsoever.

I went out of my to message each of the Admins to just get the “I don’t want to know” treatment.

Looking as a guest on the EAB forum, it looks like admin TCD has also wiped all of my posts and responses? Why? As a lot of them were useful as I was helping others as well as asking Amiga questions.  8) It appears TCD has had a back hander (Allegedly)  off Steve Clifford.

All you can now see is a post about Steve Clifford over stating his power and showing truly who he is on there… oh well….

Sorry that happened to you Boing-ball. I only lasted a couple of hours before I just kicked off…
A lesson learnt.

Just joined as a new member on here after finding this post on a Google search.

Back story. Tried a couple of times to register over on EAB, for some reason my username kept disappearing and had to re register. After a couple of attempts contacted the EAB admins on E-mail. Then miraculously my login worked. Waited a couple of weeks to get activated.
Anyway, posted a couple of things in the EAB forums for the last couple of days (No hate sleach or rule breaking etc. As per their rules), come to login again and I have message about being banned! No reason given, just a permanent ban?

WTF is going on? Any EAB admins on here to give me a clue why I was banned? What rule did I break to have a permanent ban without reason?

I don't know any of the involved but having just checked their TOS I have to say the listed reasons for banning members or posts and threads are pretty woke to the extreme, specially considering we've never had any such problems in the amiga community. Maybe at the joke level, I guess some people confuse jokes with reality... And I guess that's the kind of stuff that's been going on in the Uk even with laws they've passed somewhat recently. There's even been people arrested in their own home in front of their children for pretty innocent posts on social media regarding their opinions about certain gender theories that are being forced on everyone on western countries nowadays.... My suggestion ? Don't post there... Amiga.Org is on the USA and there's still the 1st amendment, although the moderation will depend on the owners of course.. I predict if these tendencies get worse most forums will just ban certain topics, which is pretty much what's been happening already on other forums regarding other stuff (vintage electronics, audio related etc...) and it's a pretty coward attitude if you ask me...
I haven't posted in here in a long time, I just never liked the way the new amiga.org was organized, I much prefer a front page like amigaworld.net. And regarding amigaworld.net I'm impressed with the level of no banns given some of the wars that go in there sometimes... Amigaworld.net is ironically UK based AFAIK. There's some good old users left, Karlos seems to be active there again, and some coders still go there, so it's not totally lost it's quality although it's lower than it used to....
I don't know about A.Org, haven't been here in a while and just stumbled in here by accident.... Maybe it's as good....
I'll just finish by saying, if this insanity goes on there will be sites that probably won't operate in the EU anymore... Just use a VPN or Tor if you're on such a place I guess.

If these arbitrary bans keep happening at EAB, then maybe Toni Wilen should be a Developer Admin someplace else. Otherwise, it's just an elitist club for Amiga fans who don't rock the boat. I just think it's aggravating that I can't even contact him, all I can do is to lurk around his section of EAB and hope someone posts with similar issues to me.

Like I mentioned in a previous post. If you think EAB is tough then try Amibay:

https://forum.amiga.org/index.php?topic=76404.msg858819

NOTE:
In this case Flop did commit an infraction of the Amibay rules. The reason he was not given any warning is because of Amibay's "Zero Tolerance" ban policy.

I got banned off EAB because you lot are getting back handers off a certain reseller. I’m on Amibay, and must say it’s 100% better over there! It’s great over here too! Also note those attempting to join EAB just getting banned. Time to open your eyes.

I disagree - he was warned and AmiBay rules clearly state you are only allowed one account.

The rules are there to help protect buyers and sellers alike.

He was warned exactly when? Do you expect him to remember in perfect detail the Amibay rules which existed when he created his first account 15-20 years ago? He stated he could not even remember his user name or password.

Did the Amibay staff member who banned him consider his request to merge his two accounts into one as a responsible effort to comply with the Amibay rules?

Of course not, and just another case of "Common Sense" failure on Amibay. ::)

@SpeedGeek This is from the original admin/mod discussion on the subject
Quote
He asked for help to recover his account, which we did. After regaining access, he emailed again asking if we could merge his two accounts. We replied that you are not allowed two accounts and banned the second account and gave him warning points for breaking the rules. He replied saying I was "mean" and "bye bye amibay".

1. He did NOT contact us about losing access to his original account before creating a new one.
2. We did not know he had a second account until he ADMITTED IT.
3. We carried out the appropriate actions (banned second account, issued warning points).
4. Normal, well adjusted members at that point would of apologised.

As you can see from the above HE asked for his account to be closed and we obliged.
