Disembadied Soul isnt working. Bungie set the bot up to ease the load on themeselves and the moderators here. He bans people for obvious offenses, etc. The only problem is that a Bot will ban without question or motive, without mercy. A normal moderator doesnt do that, and knows when someone is actually breaking the rules rather than just falling helplessly into them.
I am a victim of Disembodied Soul's own problem, lack of judgement. I was banned for asking for leak information, reasonable. I decided to post some advertisements for the groups I started as well as a contest announcement to the community news with my old account that I moved from due to linking to the wrong gamertag. So i post a few of those up, then realise in the middle of my announcement post that Soul has banned me for using another account while my previous one had been banned. No biggy, I thought, its the rules.
So I waited for my original account to be unbanned, thinking that it was the source of my trouble, so when it was unbanned I was pretty much in the clear. I waited and then began to post after it was unbanned. I had posted twice already, just before getting banned, errors that I was getting in my posts on this site, trying to be a helpful member. Those were removed upon blacklisting, so I had to re-post them. I did that, as well as made new ad topics to update the site on my competition and the new groups becuase the others were now blank due to my blacklisting and had not recruited any new members.
As I try to post my announcement that had been interrupted about 5 days prior, i realise that I am now blacklisted a third time by Disembodied soul for using an alternate account while another was previously blacklisted. I know it sounds simple to just asy "wait for the other to be unbanned next time". But if even I fell into that, most other members will, and many other members will fall into a circle of banning that will never end becuase Soul doesn't make any judgements, he just bans us. This is why a Bot isnt a good substitute for a Moderator, becuase a bot can wreak havok in unexpected senarios, and really piss off your members. Im incredibly furstrated with the fact that I cannot get the errors that i have been recieving constantly to bungie, as well as am unable to advertise because of this.
If anyone understands my perdicament, please respond in the topic gt3stuntman has made for this statement. I will be reading it and will have gt3stuntman reply for me accordingly.
