Exetrius Posted November 20, 2016 Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) Dear friends, A day or so ago, I found out that EB member CM4Sci got banned. I have seem him with a "Taking a break" tag a few times in the past, yet his ban struck me with bewilderment. One question has kept my thoughts occupied: "Why?" I did some research on his profile and I checked out a few of his last posts, but nothing out of the ordinary to be seen there; no "Edited by Moderator ..." type of things. I can't find traces of ongoing rudeness against other members or anything of that sort. I know there was the 'drawings of preliminary set images' issue, about a year ago, which led to a policy change. However, I cannot find any indications of violation of the Eurobricks policies in recent months. So, this makes me wonder: what is the reason he got banned, then? Part of me hopes that I missed something related to violation of the policies in my search. That he had run out of second chances this time around and therefor got banned. However, if this is not the case, then this is a rather suspicious thing: someone with access to insiders information gets banned overnight; silenced... I've seen that he has had about three profile views per hour over the course of this day, which adds up as a whole lot of members that would like to know what's going on, hence I created this topic. So, on behalf of the community, I ask you, the members of the EB staff: Could one of you give us some clarity on the CM4Sci case? I thank you in advance. Sincerely, Exetrius P.s. @CM4Sci Regardless of the situation, with almost five years on EB and 8272 posts, you were a nice person to have around, thank you for your contributions to the community. If this is goodbye, you will be missed! Edited November 20, 2016 by Stash2Sixx Your poll has been removed.
Stash2Sixx Posted November 20, 2016 Posted November 20, 2016 CM4Sci was placed in the chamber. Details of the chamber are not made public to other members, they are private matters between staff and said member. He has been removed from the website.
VaderFan2187 Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 Oh well, that's too bad. He was always reporting leaks to us But @Stash2Sixx I guess y'all must have your reasons :)
azog Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 @CM4Sci lets hope this is not the end! Yeah you gave us massive leaks, but we all loved you on this form. Congratulations on everything you have done!
Robert8 Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 @Stash2Sixx Is it permanent? Because according to this, it could be reverted Quote Some end up here straight away as they are naughty spam bots, but in most members who have exhausted their supply of second chances join this group. In most cases we'll tell you when to come back, if ever. If you've been banned and think you deserve a second chance, don't just create another account. Contact us via this email and in time we'll get back to you.

If you are uncertain, PM a member of the staff for guidance and include a link to the questionable material.
VaderFan2187 Posted November 23, 2016 Posted November 23, 2016 By leaks I meant info on upcoming sets... Don't recall him posting blurry info...?
Shadows Posted November 23, 2016 Posted November 23, 2016 As Stash said, we don't discuss the details of bans. This discussion is over.
