POM is back!!!

PerryHallPerryHall Posts: 46,137 ✭✭✭✭✭
POM sent me an e-mail letting me know that he has been banned. He thinks it was because of some critical postings concerning the software upgrades that he recently made. He asked me to let you guys know and to be careful what you say here. Hopefully he can get reinstated after a time off.



Edited to add that it was all a false alarm and POM was never banned. As best as we can determine, POM was having a problem with the new software not letting him log in. So, all's well.

    Wow.... a good reminder to keep things civil. Personally, I think the switch-over went

    very well.... there are always glitches when these system changes are made. I went

    through several changeovers in business and all had minor issues... one had major

    issues. Cheers, RickO

    Hopefully just a time out.

    What happened? I thought they were looking for feedback. How do you turn software feedback into something so bad as to get you banned? In softer, safer words can you give me a gist of what happened (or PM)? Thanks..id hate to make the same mistake, trying to watch my wording

    some advice...not here the majority of my time but over in cardboard land a couple "great" guys got banned (i didn't know them)...so everyone wrote in, got in touch with mod. etc and got them reinstated ....so there is hope....think they did a probationary month or something.

    Yep. I hope he's allowed back in.

    How does that happen?

    I was a little curious of that too. I'm not providing feedback because I might get banned.

    My my, hey hey
    Rock and roll is here to stay
    It's better to burn out
    Than to fade away
    My my, hey hey.

    Out of the blue
    and into the black
    They give you this,
    but you pay for that
    And once you're gone,
    you can never come back
    When you're out of the blue
    and into the black.

    POM is gone
    but he's not forgotten
    This is the story
    of a Johnny Rotten
    It's better to burn out
    than it is to rust
    POM is gone
    but he's not forgotten.

    Hey hey, my my
    Rock and roll can never die
    There's more to the picture
    Than meets the eye.
    Hey hey, my my.

    Thanks BAJJERFAN.

    Not for my sake, lol!

    Kinda of a rhetorical question. I don't care how they do it, just wondering who does it and when.

    I didn't see what was posted or what could have caused it, but he always did like to push things with his "tone". Couple that with (most likely) plenty of previous warnings on other things, and it probably all added up.



    I have seen a lot of "feedback", even negative, be handled well. I have also seen people just spout out about things. If one has a good rep, they can probably get away with it. If one has the opposite of a good rep...well, they should word things in a way they would to their mother or pastor.

    I never thought of it that way. If they are passionate. How does one know they are spouting out on coins? I'm not sure.

    Well...apparently I'm now allowed to log in!

    Staring on 10/19, 2 days after the change, I was unable to log on. I could not log in and every time I clicked on reply to a thread it was making me go thru the steps to join, as if I was new to the site. I couldn't contact Don via email because the new design of the site does not provide his email as it use to.

    At that point I reached out to some members that I have their email addy's and told them I assumed I was banned but did not have a clue why, other than it may be some comments made about the new site design, none of which were harsh imo, and having seen other comments that were far more critical than any of mine, I was puzzled.

    About mid-week last week I decided to fill out all the info to re-join, but that requires an approval. I still have not received an approval email for that, and I guess I shouldn't expect one now.

    So on Sunday the 25th, I tried logging in as I had tried most days last week and wah-la, I was able to. Before starting to post, I decided to send Don a message asking him if he knew what happened...if I was banned and why so I don't repeat the mistake OR if it was just a glitch in the system? He has not replied so I suspect he is busy with other things LOL.

    Being I am now able to log in, I'm guessing it was a glitch, or possibly I was given a brief "timeout" as someone suspected in this thread. Who knows, I have not received a message from any Mod indicating I was, so I'm leaning that it was site glitch.

    Anyway, very happy to be back and thank you very much for the kind words some of you said. I'll try to continue to live up to the rep lol.



    Also, all of you have a week head start figuring out all the new things on here, so please bare with me if I ask some questions.

    It could well have been a temporary glitch, there have been a few glitches here and there. Or you might have had some cached login information that needed to be cleared out, or something like that.
