Have you ever been banned UNFAIRLY from a tracker?

With the all-too-frequent complaints from individuals who "never did anything wrong, BUT found themselves banned" threads popping up, I got the idea for this poll.

Have you been banned UNFAIRLY from a tracker?

And let's stipulate the difference between BANNED and INACTIVE. This is about being falsely accused, or not.

PLEASE do not use this as a thread to badmouth any trackers or staff, this poll is simply a survey to indicate what percentage of the BT community believes to have been wronged at any time.

Please feel free to discuss the poll, but consider discussion of individual trackers and their staff as OFF TOPIC. I will ask that all flaming of trackers and staff be deleted from this thread.

Thanks!

Votes are confidential on this one. Feel free to be completely honest. :)

I have not (yet).

The OP should kinda give the discussion a start, though, no?

Yes I have.
But as you ask to not badmouth sites, I will refrain from insulting some pals of yours.

Nope, never been banned from any tracker...

This is simply a way to survey the users of the BT community as to who feel they have been wrongfully kicked from a site. Many posters here get battered when they post topics that are specific to a particular incident and tracker, but this is meant to be a birds-eye view of the community.

I have a hard time believing (m)any of the posters who make such allegations. I have yet to be banned or even face conflict with staff anywhere. Am I in the minority? Are many of these claims credible?

I am truly curious about this and think there is some valuable data to be collected. We'll see...

Thanks again!

i've been banned from a shitty french tracker after saying to an admin that i registered to leech stuff, not to pal up with other members on the shoutbox :(

Yup

did i break any rules? the answer is no. i've just been franck with him :idunno:

the poll options are not clear. If someone was only ever banned for cause, they would qualify for option 2) No i have not (been UNFAIRLY banned) and option 3) banned for my own fault. Further, option 4 doesn't specify whether it refers to reinstatement after a fair or an unfair banning.
