WTF is up with this?

[Face of Fear 10+ year member]

So I went to get on DIYMA forum this morning since I have had alot of people tell me to get on there and post up my Audison VRX. I had 30 something posts as of last night around 10ish. This is what I get about 10 minutes ago when I tried to get on one of my posts.

Sorry. The administrator has banned your IP address. To contact the administrator click here.

What the ****? I sent the administrator a email questioning it. Lets see what he says. I never recieved any email saying I was doing anything wrong. Whats up with those guys? They banned my first attempt to join after 2 posts(one being a question about a guys build and the other being an opinion on a what sub to buy thread), the reason posted was "unwanted spamming" and date ban will be lifted was "NEVER".

Am I missing something? I am really confused on what I have done that makes them decide to ban me and my IP address even. I bet I don't even get an email back with a reason.

They might have terms against for sale threads under a certain post count if you posted up the audison, idk. have you read the terms and agreements to see that you didnt violate some dumb rule or criticize the wrong mod? Ive never really been over there.

I hadn't even posted it in the for sale thread. It said 50 posts so i was waiting until I had a little over 50 posts so they wouldn't question it or try to pull something. I was posting around. Had a few threads started to get some opinions from people on that forum as well.

Im so confused lol

How fast did you get to 30 posts? If you were posting randomly just to get yer post count up, to sell, they will ban you.

From 9/14/10-10/10/10, I got about 35-38 posts.

Yeah, that's not really dumping, as long as they were insightful posts. They are not fans of average users, they believe they are elites. So anything less than a very intelligent/thoughtful post gets considered as spam.

 

[Face of Fear 10+ year member]

So odds are like I thought. I shouldn't expect a message back from the "administrator".

 

[CHEMMINS 10+ year member]

Yeah, probably not.

Sounds like a bunch of stuck up assholes

Thats what they came off as to me as I tried to get some opinions.

Yes, they are like that elite society, that unless you have blueblood you ain't getting in. You have to prove yourself there. Hence why I only go on there as a guest to get info, through google. They do have good reviews and intelligent people, but definitely have something up their arses.

They are a bit snobbish. Quite the polar opposite of most of this forum.
