I'll prolly get banned 4 this but its gotta be said :-l "Its nice to see that laffen gets an esato bookmark placed in lots of new SE phones lately(there was a thread about it ;-) )but when it comes to the 'end user' wanting to show their creations off,well thats another story". Bye! :-D

I cannot open the link laffen posted, but I sure hope it takes of the following common belief: that Esato only bans sites with illegal content. That is not exclusively the case and by allowing that misconception to exist you do create a be name for sites that have never been in esatos way. Quote:

@vlamm, this is what laffen said:
Quote:
| The reason why I sometimes ban certain sites is because the owner (or very enthusiastic member) uses the Esato forum to write an announcement every time they update or add some content to the site. Other reasons could be that the site is commercial, competitive site advertising for similar products found on Esato (games, ringtones etc.). I tend to get fed up with such members, and usually send them a PM about this before a ban become active. Most of these bans are cause by the posting pattern of the poster. If an Esato forum member is helpful and also answer questions but occasionally write the address of his site in posts, the "advertising" will be accepted.
An example of a forum member with a competitive site, that not only posts "Take a look at my site" is the owner of http://www.clubsonyericsson.com This address is not censored, and the member often help and inform other forum members in trouble.
There are also several other reasons why link to sites are removed. Esato don’t allow links to sites with cracked software, sites with content ripped from other sites and so on.

Hope this helps 
edit: but i don't do taht, i have a theme thread and i have now placed (it was there before the ban as well) the address of where my themes are located because i got bored of typing the address out each time someone asks, and all i do it post my theme preview and ask for commenst, i wouldn't call that posting the address each update, also i do post it alot when i help members.

Continued: A lot of themes are made not just for the enjoyment of the thememaker, but to be shared with others. There is even a request thread for them. Given the fact that esato didn't offer a theme upload and feedback function, it is kinda land that we can no longer provide a direct link where somebody can download a theme that was made especially for them. Laffen may be the 'boss' but do we not all come here for our enjoyment? I for one could do without the hassle of having to guide people to my.. |

Vin: thanks! However, expert never received said pm from laffen, nor has anybody who regularly links to m9. Must be new policy then  . Also, you and I, along with spawn, august and all the others, must be labelled 'non-helpful' members on esato then.

Not only is linking to m9 banned.... it would appear that moderators also have started actively removing posts that link to M9.
I am sorry...... words cannot express how petty I feel that is.
The argument that 'some over-enthusiastic post-whores' link to it too often (in the eye of the beholder) really does not give Esato the right to remove links to items requested by members that happen to be hosted elsewhere.... specially not since it's legal content.
I am most disappointed in Esato's policies.
Well.... keep on removing mods. You have one hell of a job ahead of you.

Surely they can do whatever they hell they wish, because they have access to the all powerful "delete button"

They can..... but the argumentation sucks... and to think that some ppl actually MAKE stuff requested by esato members but are not allowed to tell where it's hosted.... does seem a bit ridiculous. I mean... it's not as if esato has a large content hosting facility in place

cool down vlamm... the lift is NOT going to happened. it'll dent someone's ego. just take it easy... i think the banning actually creates more publicity. (what will u be thinking when i tell u dun think bout the colors of the rainbow)
a user with over 50 posts would already know where to go when they needed a theme.
just give the boss here some respect... come what may.
gee... i just figured i m also on the list of "unhelpful ones" that's life.
