The thing is, I've done more than imply that CMS is something other than "your little content helper". While I see and appreciate the idea of what it is supposed to do, I've been critical of it because the implementation is just wrong. Nasty. I don't like scurrilous services starting up and thinking they own my PC.

I've criticised DAZ binary formats since before DS 1. And i've commented on a steamish content downloader/installer too. I've done those things you tell me will get an instant ban from the forums. And you know what? I've never been banned.

Worse - I am emtional and enthusiastic about my 3D hobby. Sometimes this spills over into what I would consider, in calmer moments, excessively agressive posts. Charged. More rough than blondie and MaleMedia are playing right now, probably. And while I've had the odd quiet word whispered in my ear, I've not once been banned even though i do, at times, tread a fine line between being well behaved and ranting.

So it's very difficult for me to empathise or even understand someone - anyone - who claims "daz banned me for no reason". More often I see "daz banned me for no GOOD reason" - because the poster doesn't consider the reason to be good. Not one of those I've read in recent days has said what they were ACTUALLY banned for, according to what DAZ told them. Only what they have decided must have REALLY been the reason. And it's grating, a bit, because a lot of what you have to say has some validity - but it's getting lost IMHO in what frankly is patently untrue.

I say opatently untrue and feel confident in that because you've painted a very black-and-white picture of "do this and you'll get banned" - and I know that's not the case because I've done it, and I'm not banned. So there's something else going on, and it's not helping your potentially valid concerns to be swimming with definately invalid statements.

 

IMHO. YMMV. PCMCIA.
