Banned forever ? lolz

[T159]

What a juvenile decision by a partisan mod :(

See the reason the anonymous mod posted for praka123's ban :D:rolleyes:

You have been banned for the following reason:
Refusing to learn from his mistakes : Continues to abuse (e.g.moron), provoke(e.g. micro$haft), and make highly inflammable religious comments.
Date the ban will be lifted: Neverwhat if some one calls me retard, moron ? Am I entitled to ban the user :rolleyes:
What if I replace Xboxthreeshity for Xbox360 ? Am i entitled to be banned :rolleyes:
What if my religious views does not adhere to the first peace summit ? Am I entitled to be devoured :rolleyes:

Tyro mod :rolleyes:

STFU you are banned for ever ever ever :!::rolleyes:

No say the man in Vatican, No say the man in Russia. But this mod chose to do it the other way :rolleyes:

lolz

[slugger]

See the reason the anonymous mod posted for praka123's ban :D:rolleyes:

the permanent ban itself IMO is grossly unjustified and biased

and to top it, the fact that the Mod has chosen to remain anonymous goes on to show that the decision is being taken as an outcome of personal grudges rather than any genuine harm praka is causin

decision reeks of lack of judgement :(

btw T159 are you sure it is a Mod and not an Admin - cause it would be a whole lot different if its an Admin

wheres the ban message? :confused:

[kumarmohit]

This forum has a decorum and has rules. Praka did seem to cross that line every once in a while. Reading his replies was getting more and more difficult and a number of his posts were nothing more than link exchange and SEO for his favored sites. Has anyone from any other part of the community doing so.

Anyway I would like to see the actual ban message too. Link please!

[gagandeep]

Well, the moderator could have given him a MONTH's ban but a permanent ban is way too much......

[Kl@w-24]

The guy's banned AGAIN??? What did he do this time?? Pasted a FOSS sticker on some mod's backside?? :D

[dOm1naTOr]

[dreamcatcher]

I see that every other mod is against Praka. There are many others who are bent on flaming the forum environment. Praka is taken as a scrapegoat and is banned week after week. This is insane. I mean cummon, flaming is something totally subjective.When someone starts a controvertial topic, people add to that , in order to justify the threadstarter wrong. In return, common people like us, get to know a lot of things that had been void of our knowledge. These geek wars are actually a blessing in disguise IMO.

[dOm1naTOr]

agree 100%
flaming w/o using abuses is 100% alrite.....atleast we are not weak as girls...are we?[not me]
praka123 is a good member and liked by most of the members except some mods.:mad:
permanent ban is insane!

[adi007]

No big deal
He is back with new user name ...He has just lost the post count and nothing else......
Even if they ban this new user name also he will create another user :)
That's the nature of praka cat :D

[Kl@w-24]

make highly inflammable religious comments.

AFAIK, praka's religion was FOSS...

[krates]

well i don't understand giving a power of banning someone to mods ...

the mods must report to the admin and the admin must ban him by checking the matter properly

[nvidia]

Unfair...
Unban him. Or ban him for a week.

[slugger]

its got to be sum mod who is not known to participate in linux related threads i guess

[nvidia]

^^I think i know who that is..

[Arsenal_Gunners]

A permanent ban is not justified,it should be reduced to a week at most.

[Cool G5]

Though praka crossed the line sometimes, this permanent ban is highly unfair.
Nice to see him back again, His post are useful for a FOSS n00b like me. :)

[shantanu]

we banned him for small periods ! for 7, 14 days .. he didnt listen , we banned him for a month , but i unbanned him within 10 days because of his pleading Messages ! its fine.. he is not going to listen !

it does not matter who Banned him, The Whole Moderation team Stands by the decision !
and the thread starter ! if you want to be banned You can notify us, as we have enough reasons for that too ! Change your siggy !

[T159]

lolz
it wasnt me who put that line on siggy first :rolleyes:

[shantanu]

but be the first to remove it !

and others ! i wont think a minute if you dont edit your siggy ! this thing does not happen in this forum ! last warning !

[T159]

so much for being MOD ? :rolleyes:

[hellknight]

exactly.. everyone has the right to say about their views.. its a fundamental right.. and mod.. you can't stop us from protesting.. its a right too... Indian Fundamental Rights also apply on this forum coz Digit is an Indian company (although the forum is hosted in US).

[~Rahul~]

Biased moderators :rolleyes: .

[shantanu]

dude ! who is stopping to say anything ! we just want peace ! thats it and we think praka was hampering that ! so tiny thing..

[iMav]

Unfortunately they don't. When you registered you accepted that you abide by the rules of the forum. And this is Raaabo zone. No Indian law applicable, it's Raaabo's world.

[~Rahul~]

And all whackyman's posts have been deleted, like its evidence of some heinous crime :rolleyes: .

[T159]

@Manan
sorry but you have obscure thoughts now :(
If it was someone else's world then what are you doing in here, adding to the heap or following like a slave?

[unbanpraka123]

I think you are particularly against unbanning praka123? dont you shantanu ? :( what a stance! dont ban this ID ! I have to opin my words in this thread.let me continue with this userid UNTIL praka123's ban lifted.

shantanu ,I NEVER expected this from you! I gave you my word that I will keep away from trolls. but it is imav and gxsaurav who bash GNU/Linux ,FOSS etc and still running all over spamming! where are you ? report button ,my foooot! :x .Now ,did I as problematic as few others ?I always want to express my opinion goobimama is too concentrated on watching me. thanks to imav ,the show crapper! also add a "pillainp" ! :x

[gagandeep]

It was me who put this thing first in my Siggy..

And yes, you can give him a long ban for 1month or even of 2months, that will teach him a good lesson, but a permanent ban isn't justified....

You should also look @ the Winboys, who keep on provoking Prakash.........Its not that I'm saying that Prakash doesn't provoke, he also does provoke......but they also deserve some or the other type of bans.....

And yes, I'm not saying to unban Prakash immediately, I'm just saying to reduce the Permanent ban.......

[dreamcatcher]

Whackyman banned too. This is patheitc, we want all maccys and m$hits to be banned too then.. The forum hardly stops with those around. Recently there was a thread to have an Apple section formed. :|

[hellknight]

Waise to yaar.. when we join a college.. they take an affidavit from us that we'll not do strike, we'll not form unions, principal's decision is final etc... but we do that all..
Secndly, when a movie is aired with R-rating on Indian Channels it means that there is some restricted stuff in it, but the channel either cuts those scenes or blurs them.. coz they have to follow the Indian rules.. no porno/nudity allowed.. even FTV has launched a new channel FTV India.. which shows censored Midnight Hot :(

The law states that after 11 PM adult content can be aired.

@praka, If you want to register a protest, you could do it in a dignified manner. You don't have to use words like "the mod sucks". And what makes you think that goobimama banned you? You are one person who have been given a warning time and again. There is a limit to everything. Sure, words like moron, etc. are commonly used. But you use it in an abusive manner devoid of any civility, which makes for all the more compelling reasons to ban you. We don't like to hand out any bans to any person. But you are a repeat offender who pays absolutely no heeds to any warning. It was a collective decision.

More derogatory posts out of you and you will be banned again.

[dreamcatcher]

offtopic-@imav- theres no such rule. All the movies are censored and there are no "special" films or content shown after 11. V's idea of R-Rated is Enrique. LOL

you are a mod ,who visits this forum after a month or so .did u know anything reg the flaming by imav ? :rolleyes: reg this thread ,I already was unjustfully banned several times.

[hellknight]

@iMav .. nahi mere bhai.. not even after 11 PM.. remember what happened to AXN when they used to air that World's Sexiest Commercials, Mile High etc.. the govt banned that channel..

[gagandeep]

see ,whackyman's post was deleted !so ,they know they are WRONG! still!.... :x
Well actually, you deserve some punishment, but not a permanent ban......

@Moderators: Do look how much Prakash helps in OSS section....

[shantanu]

Its not particularly ME who is against you ! nor i support any particular category !

and I TOO didnt expected this from you !

[sreevirus]

Just because I don't post much doesn't mean that I don't visit here. I stay invisible. And I know things quite well.

And you are banned again.

@gagan, I know he is a knowledgeable person. But that does not give him a license to shoot his mouth the way he does. You can see FilledVoid and QuertyManiac too here, but they don't behave the way praka does.

[iMav]

[off topic]

@hellknight:

Yup that's when it was made clear that "adult content" should be aired after 11 only. AXN aired it at 10 or something, there was a huge debate on this.

Praka, fight against this ban till death. I too was banned earlier as Rudick for no reason and no reason was ever mentioned. I got to know I was banned after mailing Digit Editor like thousand times!!! :mad:

All adult content is aired after 11 p.m. as is stipulated in the government guidelines

[dreamcatcher]

@praka- At least the mods gave you some reason. I was permanently banned by Raabo without any reason. I entered digit forum after 4 days and I was permanently banned. No-one gave me any explanations. Mods and admins..huh!!

[T159]

Yeah this time he wasn't on a rampage, so the reasons shown for banning are innocuous ones.
Why banned him out of blue ?

btw you guys dont see from other point of view, its just a unidirectional commotion !

NOTE: no doubt we lost some good members...thanks to the you_know_what :D:(

Now praka.. this was overlimit.. why the hell should we follow your guidelines.. i mean why should we fight with the fellow Windows or Mac users.. dude, its their wish.. let them use it.. and what the hell do you think that we are like Americans.. fighting over pathetic things like Ford Vs GM.. Coke Vs. Pepsi.. Lockheed Martin Vs Boeing.. Intel Vs AMD..

Dude.. I'm trying to help you by showing some support and you're replying it by kicking my ass... gr8..

Friends, Its better we all move away from this forum/complaint to the admins if this the way the mods behave........

OMG Mods "Deletes Posts!!"

I just saw a post against shantanu and it disappeared! :x

Dude, he likes Microsoft doesn't mean that he is a fanboy.......See the likes of Vishal Gupta, anandk -- are they fanboys??...Obviosuly not......Being MVP doesn't mean to be a fanboy.

And I think, you should stop terming other 'good' people as fanboys........

Please, I would just say to decrease the ban from Permanent to 1 or 2 months.......

[Gigacore]

well. I really didn't expect this from praka.

[Sourabh]

Here's the dealio:

Praka123, obviously you don't understand some of the un-said forum rules so please allow me to break it down for you. Firstly stop making multiple IDs. If you're banned temporarily, you have to wait for that period or contact the admins directly if you are unhappy with the moderator's decision (create a new ID just for PM or contact the admins some other way). Spamming in threads like these and posting visitor messages won't help if you ask me. You've broken this rule (multiple usernames) twice when you were banned (temporarily) earlier this month. One forum, 1 active username. As simple as that.

The whole purpose of the ban/misery is to give the member some time out to rethink and get back with a different approach - either not repeat the same mistake for which the member was banned/miserabled earlier or just agree to disagree and move on. If you keep repeating the same mistakes again, no one can help you. How about a civilized discussion for starters? Why can't Microsoft be referred as Microsoft?

You've been given two chances already but there's no positive coming out of it. There were 2 short-term bans already in less than a month, how would doing the same thing again help? Feel free to discuss this matter with the admins and hopefully come up with a solution.

There's no harm in pointing out a problem with the moderation but personal remarks on moderators is totally uncalled for and won't be ignored moving forward. Please take note.

Thread locked. Contact admins directly if you don't have faith in the moderation team.
