I got an infraction for putting a link to this website - in a PM !
You're such a rebel, Craig.
I just got banned for life too. Seegs108 at AVSForum is no more. Agreed with your sentiment. Apparently by complaining Sony uses software to fix the hardware issues is too much for the mods to handle:
How did you find out that Seegs108 is no more? I don't agree with everything he says (obviously), but I respect his opinions and feel that I learn from him as well. How could we get him over here? (Along with many others, preferrably) I apologize that I am more of a lurker than poster, but appreciate all of you.Kevin
Arguments get heated sometimes. Infractions are often given when things get personal and don't remain on topic. Though this time there was no argument. I'm not sure how and why a lifetime ban was necessary from my post? Without being able to log into my account I don't even have the option to PM a moderator to ask about all of this and why a lifetime ban was an appropriate response. I mean, wouldn't something like a 30 day ban be more appropriate? No one person was harmed or attacked with my last post.
I think if a vendor reports that they feel insulted, no matter how unjustifyed that is your pretty sure to get booted without any explanation. Welcome in the club..
I have no evidence at all that this is what happened. I just don't think I did anything particularly bad, relatively speaking, to justify a ban. I've been in much worse ad hominem situations before. This wasn't even an ad hominem situation. This is why I have a feeling there was some sort of ulterior motive behind my ban and that they're using my bad language as a justification to issue the ban.
Does Sony even advertise there?
Companies that sell Sony do. I suspect a lot of money is to be made now that they have native 4K projectors at the $4999 and $7999 price points. More people are capable of buying them now which means that if expectations of performance were brought down to non-hyperbole levels less units will sell. I'm not even posting there anymore and people are still discussing banding issues. If you look at the 285ES owners thread an owner who took possession of his unit yesterday said he can see banding if he looks closely at the image. This isn't just with 4K 60p 10 bit HDR content either. Same thing I've been complaining about for years. I wonder if they're going to ban him next?
I don't think one needs to look for conspiracy theories to explain your ban. Most likely you just irritated the wrong people too many times. The moderators probably just got tired of getting emails from members you rubbed the wrong way.
I'd guess that rather than a company complaining, Dylan was thrown under the bus by a Martin and a dog, and their followers.
