How do lifers get banned?

    Curious...I see many long time members with tons of posts, and even great iTraders, post yesterday and banned today? (here today and gone tomorrow)How does that happen?
    I mean, if a member has been around for over a year or more, has 1,056 posts for example, and 35+ pos iTraders, no negs, how do thet get banned?

    I'm curious for reasons, as I hear some of accounts being "HI-Jacked or hacked" so maybe trades and/orsales are not safe. Are "Banned" members maybe someone who has been hacked?

    Thanks!

    A lot of reasons:
    Infraction build up
    Temporary ban
    Permanent ban
    Hijacking
    I am sure there are more

    OK, thanks for the replies. Infractions are still somewhat unclear to me. I read the "guidelines" and even the new "BST" rules, but not sure what is safe to "reply" or "post" to and what isn't. I understand "do not post PM me details" is not acceptable in BST forums any longer, but if I have a valid question and it's short, sweet, and to the point, is that fine? Or should I PM everything? (I responded to a post a while back and said in my reply " OK, so there is no cost to me, right" and got an infraction for that post. No big deal, but I am not clear on what I can reply or not.) I send PMs now for info re: sales details, like domain names, etc, but at some point, there has to be a thread to do iTraders, right?

    Better you go through this first.

    Infractions - Please Read

    Also refer to new rule of posting at BST.

    Keep one thing in your mind that rules are for everyone. For Member either with less amount of posts or with high amount of posts.

    DON.
