amibay broken again?

[magnetic]

Amibay is run by a bunch of egoist geek control freaks.  Internet stalking, privacy invasions, ip tracking, is standard procedure for these people. This kind of behavior is everything we hate in Apple and Microsoft and is against the spirit of Amiga.  And they wonder why their site gets hacked all the time! Lulz.

Amibay is a disgrace compared to the once great Amibench.

Yes, I was spyed on and tracked personally. I joined amibay and was a member for like 6 months. i bought an a1200 accel, which I used for a couple of months and upgraded to a better one. I sold the board to a friend in a user group who sold it on ebay. they tracked the board to me and banned me for "scalping" or some stupidity.

I've never in my life ever heard of any other amigan telling another he cant upgrade/trade/sell amiga hw how they want to . We all do it constantly.
The real problem i have is the internet stalking and privacy invasion. Its inexecusable

Mechy you hit the nail on the head. Amibay is a good ole FANBOY network in UK. They DONT like Americans for sure. And THEY DO 100% read PMs all the time. Not only this but they privacy invade by internet stalking people.

I loved your post about how these idiots say "Evil bay" yet they have bay in the name. LULZ. Even more of a joke they all use ebay all the time. To make it worse they run that site worse than the Ebay nazis ever could. Its so anti amiga.

I'm actually shocked people use the site because of this Big Brother elitist attitude. The original Amibench creator should cry himself to sleep at night what these people have done to his once cool Amiga trading post.

How many times do these morons need to get their site hacked by Amiga people before they learn to change their ways? NEVER because they dont care in the least bit about the community. Only their little happy click of British amigan HOARDERS.  How sad and pathetic

Im guessing you havent done a lot of transactions there.

@ Desiv

Yes, people that read my PMs, internet stalk me, and generally invade my privacy are not for me you are right.

If u have done nothing wrong u have nothing to fear. Spoken like a true fascist. It's funny that's what CIA/FBI/NSA says how perfect!

So if amibay has nothing to hide why did my post to Merlin get DELETED on the eab thread? Hmm they are certainly hiding something. Reminds me of the ministry of truth from 1984 deleting reality to conform to their desire.

Sure it's all fun now as soon as u go up against an egomaniac mod and they ban you. Oh and I hope u have zero expectation of privacy on amibay. They are as bad as CIA book aka face book

Do you know anything about Facebook? Who financed it? Apparently not.

And do you deny that Amibay spys on its users? Because if you do you have a pretty indefensable postion.

And not one of the mods from Amibay has justified how they banned me for life without any previous warning for selling one item off of amibay for a better one. (it was an ematrix and I got an apollo)

[magnetic]

why wont you honestly answer the fair questions I ask? Its because they were wrong and you know it. That is why they deleted my question to Merlin on EAB. Its so transparant. So anti amigan.

[magnetic]

yeah the broken record until they give a proper response to their wrongdoings.

Of course I tried to appeal it. It was pointelss. I think the real reason they banned me was how upset I was that not only did they stalk me on the internet but they also stalked a friend of mine during their "investigation" I also called them un amigan for trying to tell people what they can and cant do with their own personal hw. ( I sold my board because I found another one. Something amigans do all the time) I never intented to purchase the board for resell. I have better things to do than flip a board to make $30 us.  Its also the kind of tactics you expect from M$ or Apple and we amigans are against this kind of thing. (As are the open source crowd)

Why do you think i'm so angry about this? I joined Amibay when I got back into classics because the forums are cool and there is a lot of productive users with cool mods and advice.  But the methods of spying they used in the "investigation" were ugly and privacy invading. I have very strong convictions when it comes to personal privacy.

So I have no idea what Merlin is talking about as ALL the mods there know about this and they voted for it to happen. I wrote a page long Pm in the appeal as to why I sold the board (found a better accel) they didnt care.  No warnings, no chances just life ban. As stated by others  in this thread the high and mighty amibay mod fanboy club cannot be challenged. How lame.
