Hey everyone - I just experienced my first "Pink Slap" for posting on eBay's message boards. I am no longer allowed to post on the message boards. That didn't take very long. I thought I was playing by the rules. But in my signature I used my old NARU'd user ID and got suspended. Oh well I feel another article coming on.

Cheers!
Randy

Damn! You're good, Randy! Most people have to get slapped multiple times before they are suspended. Wink

Join the club, Randy. I was suspended from posting on the boards a couple of months ago.

They dislike criticism. Laughing7

What's funny is the timing of the emails.

The warning came today Mon, 2 Oct 2006 14

09 -0700 (PDT)
The suspension came at Mon, 2 Oct 2006 14:25:46 -0700 (PDT) I had a whole 12 minutes to comply and I saw both messages at the same time. That's amazing.

Well, Randy, if you really want to be amazed (and something to include in an article), forward the suspension email to spoof@ebay.com.
Trust and Safety will respond and you will be told that it IS a spoof.
You see, they don't bother to look at them. Happy001

BellisimaJ. - Thanks for the tip! And I was concerned I wouldn't have enought to write about.

Any time you need ideas, we have plenty. Opinions are not scarce here either. Wink

That's a bit of an understatement, Cranky! Happy001

Welcome to the pink slap club.
I'm another one who they ban the minute I show up on the scene
and it's really not for a violation as much as it is for the TRUTHFUL content of your /our posts.
Hell ask a few here... they will even BAN a name that closely resembles xppman.

See Randy would have quickly gained a following and surly would have
damaged eBay even further if allowed to continue to post.

I sure hope you stiffed the bastards when you got out Randy, I really do

This is the kind of S$IT we have put up with over the years.
Don't even get me started about the mountains of evidence of borderline if not completely illegal crap eBay has done and continues to get away with.
I want to see that bitch Meg on CNN in an Enron type scandal that will rock the world.

Oh and now that you have taken a walk on the wild side.

Welcome aboard. Laughing7
