    Hello Directory Owners,

    Finally, I have posted another post on Directory Kit. Since I have been busy managing my other online projects, I have not had time update Directory Kit, but now I am back in business with a new theme and a new article. Btw, what do you think of the new blog design? And now I will keep updating Directory Kit regularly, like I did before...

    Anyways, here is the link to the post: Importance Of Self-Improvement For Directory Owners

    It's a bit different type of articles out there, hope you like and and will share your thoughts/opinions on it here and on the blog...

    He was banned as the mods thought he had a duplicate account. Shame. Good job he didn't use DP too much otherwise it would have been a big loss.

    Yeah I know. He told me on MSN that some other guy was banned - it was a guy who he'd sold a website too. DP staff probably saw they had both promoted their URL here at one time and that was the reason for the ban.

    That’s bad news, what can be done to reverse the ban?
    I remember Choice got banned when his account was hacked, he never returned.

    Thanks Brian

    Pete (DownUnder) was also banned for a duplicate account which obviously he never had. I reckon some mods are playing with their fingers a bit to much. This kind of handjobs are a pain in the ass lately. There is an idiot around who scammed the community of nearly $50k, he's still posting in here while the good guys are banned for no reason.

    P.S. I wouldn't be surprised to get a ban for this post lol

    Yep, seems Duplicate Accounts seem to be the normal reason for banning here. A web designer I speak to got banned last week with the reason Duplicate Account, so I PM'd a mod on his behalf as he felt it may have been because he was on a working trip in the city - yet the mod confirmed this (duplicate account) wasn't the reason he was banned. Strange?
    Hm. Not sure on that one - didn't hurt my ass last time. Nonetheless, if they're going for free, where do we sign up?:p
    Who's he? Name 'em and shame 'em:D
    Me neither, don't sweat about it;)

    Seems the mods may be trying to clean things up which is a good thing overall, but I don't see any purpose in banning downunder. He was a great contributor here.

    Maybe they have some templated email that goes out when someone gets banned and everyone gets the same reason. Duplicate account.

    I just did a little bit of research, followed some links and found out that slashpix is a young guy.
    Maybe the mods found out that they have both the same IP address with This One.

    :)

    Yes what can i say but what a load of bollocks, i was quietly working away and this email pops up

    ? Must be a mistake I think, lets contact them, what a nightmare, even though people were informed of the error not one Acton was taken to correct it.

    So for the record - I never did have, Never have had nor Never will a duplicate account - I have enough trouble being one person without an alter ego.

    The bad thing about this is I had spent over 1K alone on branding , now nearly another 500 on registering trademarks and proudly place your logo up, try and build a good name for yourself, and then out of the blue you get the joy of having BANNED slapped across it and your work.

    This rightly or wrongly implies you have done something wrong.

    anyway, my rant is over, but i hope that people here put into play a proper system that if these errors happen there is a fair and just system in place that allows for a proper recourse of errors.

    As it stands I am not game to promote any sigs. logo's or participate in any pm's etc as i await the next error.

    I would like the powers to be to reverse the 10 points that were incorrectly awarded to my account (plus the other 1 that was also incorrectly added), but doubt that will ever happen, and that speaks volumes alone.

    From here quiet sailing from me, and i do not intend to ramble on this subject so consider it closed and in hope a improved forum can be the result.
