Now I know that this was around the time that they were shifting their server, etc, but that's a long time. I'm still taking the line that I browse and not post too much! Best J Bizarrely, a few days later I got back on again. Now I know that this was around the time that they were shifting their server, etc, but that’s a long time.

I’m still taking the line that I browse and not post too much!

I'm not bitter about this. It's just a shame I can't reply to any posts for help. But I am still able to read there of course so I will be picking up any queries and trying to answer them here. The search facility here is very good and I also try to categorise everything too. I have a long list of stuff I want to post about; I'm in busy season now commercially so I'll try and get another post up in the next few days (quite probably Part 5 of assignment pricing which will deal with re-use or extra usage). Got some good tips on Alamy CTR and keywording coming too so stay tuned! PP Thanks again for the nice words everyone (including those posting on the DPR thread too!)

One of the only other people I know who gave solid, impartial advice, and refused to get drawn into heated debates. How stupid of dpreview - sorry, amazon - to remove exactly the sort of poster that makes the site worthwhile. I'm now thinking about whether I should do any more posting on dpreview. I will still read, when it suits me, and it may be of benefit, but why would I continue to help. Oh well, just think of the extra time you'll have to do other things :-) Jon Absolutely disgraceful that you have been banned.

I'm sure it'll take off pretty quickly. Try phpBB. I think that you should start your own forum up. I’m sure it’ll take off pretty quickly. Try phpBB.

Caliber, I posted there as "ProPhotographer" and signed posts like I do on the blog as "PP". DPReview, I still can't log in (I've just tried) still says i'm banned. BTW, the email I was given when I tried to log-in 'abuse@dpreview.com' has not replied to my nicely worded message asking why? Still no communication from them. J.F, perhaps we should start a club... ;) :) Regards all PP Thanks for the support everyone!

Thu, 08 May 2008 07:40:50 +0000 http://www.thephotographybiz.com/comment/banned-from-dpreviewcom-forums/#comment-204 Welcome to the club, I got banned a while back for asking for help on a nude shoot, no image, just a question on placing lighting. But it happened that people did not like my question, and a religious debate happened, which I did not take part in. Turns out since I started the post I got banned. (along with the two others who were bickering to each other). Go figure. (to make a short long story short, I created a new email on my server and reregistered under a new name). And yes the forums are dumbing down alot. Don't know how many more "is my lens sharp" comments can I take.
