When administrators do not reply to direct messages to them, what does that mean?
Is it possible they are not getting the messages?
I have been polite and professional in my multiple attempts to reach out to two of them now, and I never got even an initial reply from either one. It feels personal and not what one would expect from an ongoing business operation. A variety of explanations comes to mind - none of them very flattering, but I don't want to be too presumptuous. I just don't understand it.
They have not bothered to explain. In the few times I pmd in the past I always got a prompt and respectful reply.
But upon my posting restriction on one board I had been posting critical analysis on, I didn't get any reply at all even though I thought my inquiries were reasonable and respectful.
I was a paying member. I cancelled my membership in protest over the disrespect.
Here are some of possible explanations I can think of:
1. someone higher up told them to restrict me since it is one of the most popular boards and they didn't like my views for one reason or another
2. the administrator didn't like my views on that stock
3. I had been warned. Their warning system is poor. I was warned in the morning - but it falls in the mailbox which usually says 99 messages so I was unaware of the warning until it was too late - and the 'violations' during the day felt targeted as they were incredibly minor.
4. I had violated the terms so much or so aggregiously that the disrespect is deserved. The thing is, I had only 1 violation in the 2 weeks prior, and the 'violations' on that particular day that apparently put me over the top were imo very minor - and certainly pale in comparison to the ongoing violations on that board every day. You can see them any day you look - lwlg.
5. Because I was exposing the possible scam I was hated on that board so my posts were constantly being reported in the hope that the administrator would get tired of reviewing them and decide to restrict me. Eventually it worked. It made the administrator's life easier.
6. not receiving my messages (unlikely)
7. They don't like my personality or believe what others have said about it..certainly other posters have portrayed me in an incredibly negative light after I said things they didn't like about their dream stock. Perhaps describing a female poster's treatment of me as 'ugly' in the post that prompted the warning that morning was seen as a sexist comment, and offensive. I don't see it that way and explained that I was talking about ugly treatment in a pm but it too was ignored.
8. other?
