I have been banned from DP Reviews. I think there may have been some very powerful corporate forces at work here re: my switch platforms from Canon to Pentax...

Weird.  I saw a couple of your posts and never saw anything outrageous.  Basically, straight up posting.  There was even one were you gave a nice approach to Sharpening.

Not sure why you were banned, but people can get pretty brand loyal

Anyway, you're still welcome here!!! Wink.

This is the note I sent to one of the DP Reviews Pentax SLR members:

Please notify all of the wonderful members in the Pentax forum that I have been BANNED from posting on the DP Reviews site. I am sure that some very heavy corporate weight was placed on the shoulders of Mr.Askey. I never ever once abused nor gave ironiuos information. I was baanned for purely commercial reasons. I really enjoyed sharing my cviews and hearing those views of others on several of the diverse forums available...It is "1984" Mr.Orwell!

This is what I sent to aa DP Review member who sent me a technical question.  After answering I made this statement:

Please notify all of the wonderful members in the Pentax forum that I have been BANNED from posting on the DP Reviews site. I am sure that some very heavy corporate weight was placed on the shoulders of Mr.Askey. I never ever once abused nor gave ironiuos information. I was baanned for purely commercial reasons.

I can't really understand why you have been banned. A pro being happy to have switched from C to P is the only reason I see...

But you are most welcome to contribute here.

I cannot understand that. How can that be possible? If there is no obvious offending messages from you in dpreview then what is the banding excuse???

Dpreview is a very big forum. They can afford to restrict the membership by not allowing gmail, hotmail, yahoo...etc. general mail providers email for registration.

Their decisions in banning members are final. You will only know you are being banned when you want to log in. They don't even bother to email you to inform you that you have been banned and why you are being banned.

Yea...they are big...and proud...

Again...their loss.

What's inflamatory or argumentative in that post?  If it doesn't read as tongue-in-cheek, I don't know what does.

Have you ever seen the bashing that goes on there?
