Wow : I was banned..

[Unicorn2]

Could it possibly be that I was banned because hostrocket didn't like the fact that I said they suck?

What will they do next, commit a free speech violation?

I mean, hell, they've already DELETED my websites more than once..

Not even so much as a warning?? Wow.

Brendan, If you can't handle a little criticism, you really need to get out of the business world.


What are they going to do.. block my ip (I mean, seriously, how hard is it to spoof another ip?)

[vanselus]

It had nothing to do with free speech. Here's the post warning you from the uptime thread:

Well..thats pretty good, considering my last post was before that warning (if you look at it, the warning was at 5:03 pm (gmt i assume) and my last post was a full 3 minutes before that).. so.. they warned me, then banned me anyway. Now, since I was banned, it was sort of difficult to see said warning.


See the catch-22 there?

[vanselus]

nope.

"If you can't handle a little criticism, you really need to get out of the business world."

Personally I was hoping they'd ban you. And that doesn't have anything to do with Brendan or Hostrocket. You are annoying. Why should we have to put up with your selfish postings? Your entire purpose here lately seems to be poking people with a sharp stick and stinking up the place. Why should we have to tolerate that? This isn't a public square, it's a private resource.

And don't kid yourself that it has anything to do with you talking trash about Hostrocket. I and others have made dozens of negative comments about Hostrocket in the last few weeks. It's you. Feel free to try and blame others, but it's all you.

Wow.. my humble little 8 posts in the course of 3-4 hours really ruined this place? I'm more powerful than I thought!

You need to chill too my brotha. I suggest some herbal tea.

What are you talking about. I think auto should get banned before he causes trouble.

[Brendan]

relax all nobody's getting banned unless theyre like way out of line. obviously unicorn is upset about what happened with his account and rightfully so, however we have done what we can to correct things and make it up to him.

Sorry brendan, I guess I need somewhere to vent, considering I'm still having the same email troubles I was having when I called melissa, and had my account deleted, and although I've submitted tickets, I get no response (i'm not paying $3) and when I call your phones won't even let me talk to a person (unless, of course, I want to talk to sales.. then that line is open)

[intricate]

Ok brendan. I will lay off auto.

[g0ldman]

You really need to relax man. HostRocket was doing what they thought was right.

[vanselus]

and once again, HR did do what was right.

it's really nice to be on a forum that actually bans members who are being bad - most forums you read say they're going to but never do. and then reinstate the ones who complain.

don't cave!

[g0ldman]

Exactly! I hate going to forums where people are getting away with having crappy messages. I'm glad HostRocket is doing something about it.
