Yesterday I realized with surprise that I was banned forever from TFS…reason is “Multiple claims of Copyright Infringement”…
I just would like to know when and where I did violate the copyright because in all honesty I do not have a clue. I mean, I have always credited the sources where I took the pics from and what surprised me the most is that I was never contacted by anyone who warned me that my behaviour was wrong…If someone had alerted me that I was doing something forbidden or not correct, I would have stopped that.
I’d be guilty of violating copyright if I had been warned and, despite that, I had kept my wrong behaviour but since NO ONE EVER told me I was doing something not correct, I struggle to see why they banned me and not just for a brief period but forever, as if I had offended someone there!
I was in absolute good faith and I definitely didn’t want to intentionally violate any rule or copyright…I have always just tried to contribute with pics and infos, always giving the credit. I don’t see any difference in my behaviour and the ones of the other members….
In the past, I’ve never had any problems there, at times I was sent a PM by a moderator but for minor issues (like ‘dangerous image uploader, especially when I was a new member there) and I also personally contacted mods to ask to delete posts that were wrong as soon as I noticed there was something ‘dangerous’. The fact I haven’t received any PMs or warning had me sure there was no problem going on so I was very surprised to learn I was banned…
I am really speechless….and I would love to have an explanation, at least for a matter of education and politeness. I think I deserve that, mainly because I've always acted fairly and contributed after years of membership and almost 5000 posts…
How am I supposed to know I am doing something wrong if they don’t tell me! I hope they will at least reply me and let me know their reasons…
My nick on TFS is Dea1983, if someone here ‘knew’ me on TFS, please help me to get things straight.
