What's happening to DP? Everyones getting banned

    So I was going through some of my contacts here looking at who I've done business with in the last few weeks. I started seeing red names and when I clicked on them it was because they were banned. This was actually 1/3rd of the people I've done some business with recently so I wondered what was going on. How are legitimate people, people with multiple positive iTrader feedback getting banned so quickly and easily? Has a mod gone rogue recently or something?

    Anyone have any details that might help?

    Thanks.

    Perhaps they just haven't been reading the FAQ or you just haven't been doing business with the right people.

    No rogue mods as far as I know :)

    There's a few trigger-happy mods, but I don't think any of them will just ban people at random. Chances are the people you've been doing business with did something against the forum rules. There have been quite a few updates to the BST policies lately, chances are they ignored them and got banned. All you can do is hope it's a 7 day ban and they come back so you can still contact them :)

    There are so many reasons behind that (not just one). If member go through FAQ/Rules and Stickies properly then no need to worry about that at all.

    DON.

    People get banned from the forum. That must be a new rule or something. Try being kind and dpreading good deeds.
