WD Community

I don't understand why the ban?

Hi … I got banned from site and I’m trying to understand as to why . I send the a email to the webmaster and got this back from him >> The ban is a result of the system mis-interpreting your unsubscribing from the community notices.  I’ve deleted the ban.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Someone what to come by me again as to why ? Unsubscribing from the community notices , what ? All I did was made a thread with a problem I’m having with a WD product and reply twice . I don’t see anything wrong with my thread or replies , So what gives ?

I’m the one that notified you of the reason why the ban happened.  If you subscribe to your posts, and then unsubscribe to them, the only way at present the Lithium platform can unsubscribe you is by banning you.  I have a case in over it, but I’m still waiting on a fix. 

I checked your Settings and you have the box checked to receive notifications.  They come as emails.  If you unsubscribe to them, you effectively ban yourself.  I don’t like it, either; but until they change it, we’re stuck with it.
