I doubt you'll answer this one either but...
It seems to me like you have a problem or two here to contend with regarding the banning of .Dave.
First of all, you are allowing people free access to his intellectual property, including yourselves, while he does not have access to it.
Also, there are consumer rights issues that need to be addressed here because we are paying customers of Blogit. As consumers we have rights to information and services that are necessary to our use and enjoyment of the site we are paying to use.
How many complaints does it take to offset the rest of the community, all of whom pay to be here. I'm concerned that as a consumer of Blogit, my personal enjoyment of this site has fallen second fiddle to the complaints of another. Where did I agree to that when I signed on here? I certainly don't recall any such thing being suggested anywhere in the rules.
And where in the world did you come up with the idea that posting to a blog could possibly be spamming in any situation. Do you really have no clue what the term means? Are you really convinced that you have a good handle on what's going on here, because you might want to look again. You don't seem to understand the concept of your own website. If a person voluntarily clicks on a post it is not spamming, and 5 posts to one page per day isn't all that repetitive either. So, a defining of your own rules would be nice. They make no more sense today than they did when I first joined here.
Another thing to be addressed, paying customers of Dave's counting blog no longer have a product to consume, and based on what exactly? Do we not have the right to know what the situation was, so our own service isn't shut off without warning as well. Besides wondering where a certain daily read blogger has disappeared to.
Eventually you will have to answer to these and many other questions being raised all over Blogit. I don't think silence is going to make this go away this time, you're probably going to have to actually address your actions and try to justify them to the community. Too many people think you are too far over the line on this one. So, speak up already, stop being such wussies.
BLOGGER SORELY IN NEED OF BANNING
I am at a complete loss to understand Blogit’s conduct policy : on the one hand, and amusing, innocuous blogger is banned for some totally obscure reason, fathomable only to it creators, while a trawl through the Religion and Spirituality post will reveal a blog that is truly shocking, repulsive, and one would imagine, utterly unacceptable in any public forum.
It would be invidious to mention names, but the bloggers identity is easily established. He is an ignorant, bigoted, semi-literate cretin, whose rantings might well have been lifted verbatim from the Instructions of Tomas de Torquemada, or Malleus Maleficarum, ( The Hammer of Witches.)
Never, since my researches into the Spanish Inquisition have I seen such disgusting rubbish peddled in any public forum, nor see such venomous, contemptible, and contemptuous dismissal of dissenting comments.
What the Hell are Blogit doing, giving a platform to this subhuman cretin's insane vapourings, and utterly loathsome treatment of his fellow bloggers? I'm sure that his reply to their comments must have left some female bloggers in tears, and if that isn't sufficient reason to ban someone, then I don't know what is.
68 BRING DAVE B ACK THIS IS CRAZY.
I'll call this "67".
BRING DAVE BACK!
This should be a reminder to Shaycom that members' opinions on matters should matter. Unfortunately, that is not likely to happen. And of course Shaycom never considered the notion that Dave was not actually spamming. Those who take the time to know him realize that those little blogs of his are designed to spur interaction between bloggers that isn't based on pettiness and mutual abuse: the very behaviors often engaged in unchecked on Blogit, for months at a time, while Shaycom turns its collective head sticks its thumbs in its ears and makes na-na noises.
And let this serve as a reminder to the rest of us that Blogit is not in any way shape or form a democracy. It's nothing less than a Shayocracy. As for me, this just might be the last straw.
40+ Posts, Hundreds + comments, 0 Response. ONE SOLUTION
There are more than 40 posts where .Dave is named and many others where
he is referred to where people are seeking an explanation and
calling for his reinstatement. Many have stated that they have written
to blogit staff. This is a community. A large number of people from the
community have spoken. Do not make the mistakes of many larger
organisations that take the line of arrogance and ignore loyal clients.
Reinatating .Dave.
If someone from the staff could explain exactly how .Dave. was spamming it would be much appreciated.
Where are our answers???????????????????
This is copied from this page .....

We Want Dave Back!

Give Dave back!
I never used this blog so far and I'm very touched to see that now it is full with protest about Dave.
Just now I see how popular he was as I see bloggers speak the words of admiration and protest who I never heard of before.
I can not find anything wrong in his blog - at least that obviously wrong which would deserve banning without warning.
I was envying his genius mind that created infinity club. Blogit people you should learn from Dave how to creat a community with the simplest ideas. You should hire him and visit his workshops. Maybe then you would understand the point of his blog. If you don't let Dave back you can lose at least 20 other Blogers aswell. At least. Mind you, we can meat other forums on Internet.
