DeepOnion is a project with unique features among the cryptospace and is definitely contributing to the space as a whole.
Take deepvault technology for example, no other project has that.
I just think that many participants of this thread deviate from the original topic to state their opinions (if they like the project or not, if they think it's spammy or not).
What I see is an unjustified ban for a minor post that happened 2 years ago.
what's the point of making this ban now?
Your answer has already been provided:
The OP posted twice in a row, which is thread bumping technique that is not allowed, on more than one occasion. These posts are just since the beginning of the month...
I suspect that if I dig deeper into the OPs posts, I may discover other thread bumping techniques that are used. I'm not going to do a full review because I'm not going to provide a free service to help the OP and the Deep Onion team improve their thread bumping techniques. Although multipost bumping usually doesn't earn a permaban, continued infractions certainly can.
I never heard about Lauda before but it seems them also have a bias against DeepOnion...
maybe this kinda of permaban decision should go through a small council of 3 members at least or have a user based judgement process
The decision to ban has nothing to do with Lauda's tag, but I do agree with you that more established accounts that get banned should have some sort of extra review process, which is what we are doing here, I suppose. You will need to appeal to a global moderator or theymos for further explanation.
