Therez nothing like taking sides here or GROUP.. I never knew anything like that ever existed !!!! And if it does then its not good for the community. I just felt that a 3 month ban on COL was a bit too much and that was my OPINION
IF Shawn decides to unban you fine if he dont fine. Again its not a democracy here. Hope you get what i mean
I couldn't care less if he was banned or unbanned or was made a moderator. It just makes infractions pointless!!! In future when people get banned from infractions then they might point at this thread as an example to get their infractions removed. Ahhh...... well, good for him.
Shawn dont take mine and sumit's points other way. We are just trying to say that this thread can be a example to othewrs who get banned, Get banned , tell your IM friends to help you out, and you are done
Its like appealing in front of judge we cannot do anything other then that. Personally if this was my forum and i had a member who has contributed a lot and helped me i would give him a priority over a 3 day old member with 3 spamy posts and i know you will agree on that with me Lets just lock the thread or get to work and forget about it
It's not quite that easy because there is no standard infraction for "Rep Abuse" defined. The current setup is going to leave him with 9 for a long time, which means if he does anything (like post a thread in the wrong place on accident), he's banned... For the record, moderators cannot credit or alter infraction times or points. Only an admin can... a moderator couldn't have given a "Rep System Abuse" infraction to begin with because there is not one pre-defined. Only an admin can do what I did (create a one-off infraction for something that normally doesn't happen), so it doesn't really invalidate infractions... it just makes the ones that aren't pre-defined (because they rarely happen) a judgment call.
Actually you know what no one who is active here would like a ban at all and i remember few weeks ago when you were banned for like 24 hours you didnt like it too. You asked for support in blog and i saw few signatures with " unban amit patel " Again you must know that i have nothing personal with anyone here. I dont know anyone here and at the moment i dont actually want to know anyone. I do not give a jack to what everyone else say but my point is very simple If you can help someone without lossing anything why shouldnt you Edit: Just realized that its 1:05 AM good bye for now
lol where is this heading to. Guys please listen do not take anything personally from what i say. I do not want bad for anyone and i hope you dont either. Lets close this thread or stop this conversation because i can see it isnt heading to right place
I didnt tell anyone to add in their siggies and i didnt get unbanned this way anywayz we got a answer from shawn and thats enough i guess for this thread Amit
I never said that you told others to do and i never said that you were unbanned because of that. Sorry to anyone who didnt like my posts or my attitude but i just get emotional or i lose temper and i dont want either of that to happen so Deep breath.......... Good
lol i,am back cheapseo was good member and shawn did very good thing by giving him one chance.It is really very strange to read few members posts in this thread about rep and unbanning members.All members like DP and few live on DP but every 1 dont like to be banned s they try in there own ways to get back , we should not forget that shawn can see every thing.
Man your server is so strong and powerfull.Too many users connected to server and still load is below 0 How much bandwidth your server use?1 TB daily ?
Out of curiosity, and of course I understand if you don't want to disclose this, but did you first detect this using a script or because someone contacted you?
A flag was thrown on this end, but I hadn't looked at it before a couple people reported it. If they didn't report it, it still would have been caught, just would have taken a little longer (like when I got around to skimming the flagged stuff). 4 physical machines are DB servers (each running 2 DB processes, so there are a total of 8 DB server processes). There are 2 separate 4-node DB clusters, so each physical machine has 1 node in each DB cluster. Confused?
Ya when my net connection is slow few sites dont open but even that time DP works perfect i dont know how it is possiable.
All said and done, let's forget this thread and move on. Everybody is spending a lot of time rewading this thread including "digitalpoint" himself. Shawn, I got to know that my husband met you at PubCon. Maybe I will be able to meet you at Puncon 2007 .
