I am Dalekbuster523finish. I was banned from here before I had chance to read a PM from a moderator, and as my ban appeared not to let me view the forum at first I assumed it was a permanent ban. I therefore created multiple accounts both pretending to be friends of mine and admitting to be me asking to be emailed why I appeared to have a permanent ban when I was not the one in the wrong and warning Big Finish staff to leave the forum before another member twists their word as somebody did mine.
The mods told me the ban was not permanent and that it would be lifted on 15th April at 8am. So I returned on that date and found I was still banned with no explanation, and the member who twisted my words to make me look bad had been let back on! This was very unfair, especially when I asked for an email to explain why this was the case and got nothing.
It came to my attention that Big Finish staff saw those earlier mentioned PMs and for that I apologise. I did not intend them that way, I intended them as a warning based on my experience on this forum. I did not want their reputation destroyed because of some poster taking their words and twisting them.
I'd like to ask again for the mods and admin to email me why my ban was not lifted as promised. Jason Ward knows my email.

Some people just can’t take a hint...

Some people just can’t take a hint... I don't think an email is too much to ask. On my forum I would always make sure any banned members know the reason for a ban and the length the ban is for. If they created a sock account stating that they had not seen the PM and asking for an email explaining the decision I would honour it. It only takes two minutes to write an email. |

No. They’re just fans. Yeah sure they do moderate and devote a fair amount of time and i rarely see them informal at any point. But they have no obligation to do anything. At the end of the day the troubles you cause, whilst not malicious, go back even to the old forum (if my memory serves me right) and they’re perfectly in their right to respond or not to respond. You arent owed anything. They do this purely out of their own love for big finish and the community from the old forum. If they think you keep causeing problems and dont want to unban you then accept it and move on. They’ve been fair countless times in the past.

I just don't see why they can't offer a bit of common decency by ensuring those who are banned are properly informed as to why, and that if a ban is extended are given a reason for it. Email is free. It costs nothing other than two minutes of your time. If they were on my forum I would do the same for them should they request it. |

Sometimes actions said and done, are not forgiveable.........
We have to live with these, you have created more trouble than anyone should.......
I am afraid the ban should remain.....and you should delete the bogus accounts and find a new place to hang out
Personally I wish you all the best but found your actions after the ban unacceptable

You knew why and your PMs went too far and you still want an apology and vindication of your views that the majority did not agree with.

Dalekbuster523...I don't want to come across as harsh, but perhaps you should just drop this and move on from this forum and find somewhere else to hang out on the internet (which may be more approriate...you have never come across as an especially huge fan of BF anyway) , many of us here, including me feel you overstepped the line with those PM's and although the apology is a good idea, and I'm sure much appreciated, you have had more second chances here than any other member, sometimes it is best to just let things slide and move on, I hate to say it, but your online reputation preceeds you, and as I understand it, this isn't the first forum you have been banned from...the mods have always come across as fair in their judgement i.m.o, and if a permanent ban is seen for the best in their eyes, then perhaps it is...

Jason Ward knows my email. Your own post contains the reasons your ban became permanent: 1. Creating new user names to advocate for your immediate reinstatement, in violation of your temporary ban. 2. Using those new user names to harass other forum members as described in this thread. 3. You were messaged through the board (and there was also the above-mentioned publicly view-able post) warning you that persisting in your behavior would result in a permanent ban. If you had just accepted your temporary banning gracefully, you would have been back on the forum in 30 days, which is the initial ban that was intended. Your subsequent behavior has made it impossible for us to allow your return. Please stop. |
