Banned at AVSForum

[Andreas21]

I guess I can put it back on subject. I do not know what I can and can't post on AVSF and not get an infraction. I got three points for this post:

I will tell you that anyone saying the Sony is sharper is being biased or did not notice ringing from RC being turned up. The Sony 885 is a fantastic projector, but it does not quite have the sharpness of the JVC 4500. The advantages of the Sony are: size, weight, noise level and price.

Maybe I took this wrong and you are talking about the lamp based JVC vs the native 4K Sony? If so, I agree the Native 4K is sharper than the E-shift JVC's, but they are pretty close and will be hard to tell a difference with video content. Just like they are close with motion, but the edge goes to the Sony.

This clearly shows how stupid the moderation on the other forum has become, how can that post qualify for infraction points?

Did you get an explanation why you got 3 points for that post?

This is ridiculous and I remember reading that post Mike.  It's clear they are getting ad money or something from Sony and allowing the Sony bias to encompass that forum.

F--- that place already! lol

That is ridiculous, did this happen today or earlier? I dont remember seeing that post.

I was banned for a day for a PM I made. Then when the ban was lifted last night, I have several notices from AVSF with infractions.

Reason: Spammed Advertisements

PM's aren't PRIVATE?       

They are ruining the forums. I came/go there to learn something. The new Panasonic 4k player thread had 1 or 2 useful post and then turned into a Panasonic bashing. The "Warner Bros. Announces HDR10+ Support" immediately turned into bunch of malcontent children wanting everything now!

Apparently not on AVSF.

Apparently not on AVSF.

I hope that's not true! 

[Stereodude]

I hope that's not true! 

I'm not sure if they really are from the forum software perspective or not.  It's also possible he's being trolled and people are reporting the PMs.

[AVSMike]

I hope that's not true! 

The reason for the ban stated I had asked a poster to contact me outside of the forum. In a PM I asked a poster to call me. Only way to get that information is to have read my PM's.

Not trolled. When I got back on, the same poster was thanking me for the help and asking additional questions. Also for the last year, I have not contacted people by PM, other than a couple of friends. I only respond to PM's sent to me. I have now turned off PM's.

One of the posts that they gave me an infraction for:

Question by another poster:
Is there a JVC model coming soon to directly compete with the new Sony VW885ES?

"There is one now. It is called an RS4500 B-stock. Better lens, more lumens and same 3 year warranty. I do not know of anything new coming at the 885 MSRP price point."

Blimey, I think a lot of people qualify for an infraction if that's what you were penalised for as it's accurate and you're not the only one who has said it.

yes but even though they qualify...some posters can get reported and reported and nothing happens...a select few (myself included) got infractions and bans for close to nothing (as in replied to a question in a for sale thread...and calling an MBM a "ghetto blaster").

I was also a member since 2001 and was part of their "tagging team" which i basically worked for them...but they didnt care

I don't see anything remotely "advertisey" about that post.

[AVSMike]

I inquired about the infractions and was told:

"Your relationship with any manufacturer would be irrelevant on AVS Forum as you are always to be posting as an individual, not a seller. Best to not discuss products you sell at all in that case."

So How do I post anything at all. I guess I could go into the TCL TV threads and post or the DIY speaker area.
