Ecf bans jim532

[jim532]

I wasn't sure where to post this. But if its not in the appropriate place, perhaps admin can move it.

However. I just wanted to make fellow modmakers aware of ECFs view of modmakers as a few may be members. I was banned yesterday without warning. Reason = I didn't inform them I was a supplier. I have never at any point offered to sell anything on the forum. I even posted threads on my Atomisers last yr & not a word was said. Perhaps its because I sold 2 atomisers to ECF members in the California last yr. But even then, I done that through UKV.

Am I a vendor? Lets be realistic. Everything I make is hand made from scratch on my lathes (not CNCd) using materials that are not used in the mass production industry. My total sales amount to nothing near the amount in a year that a vendor would sell in a week.

Perhaps they have a different view of that over the pond. I have just been informed that ECF charge vendors a fee. I was not even aware of that as........I still don't consider myself to be a vendor.

ECF is a forum that I visited around once a month, therefore I am not too concerned about the ban. I wont bother to appeal (although there is no invitation to appeal).

Will just pop across to UKV & let the modmakers there know.

But they haven't deleted my threads (yet)
(Just noticed, in the last post on the 1st link below. It still has a link to the Teflon Tip list on UKV lol)

Congratulations-you've joined the elite group of folks banned from ecf. Their rules are crazy strict and mostly absolutely ridiculous. You're not the first person to get a no warning ban and you certainly won't be the last-just ask KulrMeStoopid

Stupid rules and shows their true colours, nice work by the way

 

[AndyC1971]

I echo the above sentiments, but I have some pertinent questions to ask: -

1. Do you still do the atomisers? (I assume they are the ones in you avatar)

2. Havent you got some driptips to make

 

[jim532]

lol, taking a break from attys & doing the tips. But will go back on to building more when everyone has their tips. There is sure to be the odd latecomer who wants tips, but it wont be a prob to fit them in

BTW the atty in My Avatar is the one I built for Todd. It now has a place in his collection

I keep that pic as even I am impressed that a week before I took that pic, that atty & tip was a solid bar of pure Titanium that Stealthvape sent me

I am banned from ECF, more than once

1st time, was the same as you, I was deemed a supplier ...before the POTV Marketplace even started.

Basically I was "turned in" lol and I did appeal it, and was unbanned. But not after much argument with the Mods. But as soon as I told them they allowed other admins and mods to openly promote THEIR forums and all I had done was link our logo in my signature, it would come across as being very biased (which it was).

Now I am permanently banned and for the stupidest reason!

I started my first account via my FB page and I no longer have access to THAT fb page, so my ecf account was no longer accessible as I only logged in via FB with it, so when I went to visit, I had no choice but to re-join, they banned me for having dual accounts. When I emailed to inform them of reason there were two accounts (even went to the owner who allowed me to write a WIKI page up on ECF) and never received a response.

They were looking for a legit reason to ban me and the 2 accounts (one which I have no access to) was their chance.

Same reason why I no longer post on another forum, which I am not banned from, but the new rules over there allow them to ban me for ANY reason if they so choose, and I am a stubborn bitch, I'm not going to give them one publicly I might be irrational sometimes, but I'm not stoopid

Oh and I am banned from a forum I never joined... LMFAO Im even server banned and the only time I visited THEIR forum, was when they claimed I had joined, but to an account which I have no access to. All because of some lies a company of little interest began to spread, (same forum banned our Roadhoguk because of an association to me!)


Oh yes... ANOTHER forum banned me too, just because they could, not because I had done anything wrong on that forum, I had actually gone over to apologise for something I had all ready apologised for over a year ago and clear up some rumors and bold faced lies while being disgustingly nice...

Welcome to the club



The reality of "Forum Wars" and "Forum Politics" is unpleasant, however, POTV doesn't engage in that bullshit and neither do I and we try very hard to NOT ban real people from our forum, just obvious spammers(sex enhancement drugs, purses, shoes, that kind of shyte) and the occasional asshat that has no intention of being anything other.

I think you should be banned from POTV on the grounds that the bikini on your photo is a complete fashion disaster.

Is the pink one any better?

Now that's what I'm talking about and much easier to undo.
