Within the last hour I have noticed that B.Simpson has not only been banned, but all posts by him (and previous aliases) and replies to his posts have been purged from the database. Also all threads started by him have been purged.

I realize that some people were offended by him, however, he had some real issues. If Canon is not properly servicing their cameras, that is something that I would like to know.
 
Well, unless Phil is tracking posters by IP address (not very wise), I'm sure he'll be back in some guise or another.

Cheers,
Pete

Evil-doer-> Ihadababyitsaboy-> mini-me-> b.simpson.

Same shrilly billious spew, from the very first 10D samples. Good riddance doesn't cut it. Fabulous, stupendous riddance...

I find it hard to believe anyone can have so many problems. His childish behaviour cost him whatever credibility that he had. Physically challenging people to settle scores, deserves banishment in my book.

I have zero problems with people stating that they have a complaint. However, I was not 100% sure that he ever really had a problem with his camera.

If the other post that indicated his alias' are correct, I think that in itself indicates a problem. I do not see the need for so many alias' to post here.

more the way he went about it, by consistently posting in everyone's threads about it and threatening people with violence -- I didn't think it would get him banned, I'd have thought he'd have got a warning !!

I had a Lemon 16-35L which canon failed to fix three times and mentioned it in a few threads and I'm still here, so I guess that if you do it rationally , it's informational rather than irritating

I believe he might very well have had a real problem with his camera, but it was his extremely negative way of presenting his problem and attacking forum members who questioned him that I had a problem with.

Also I know he has more than just those handles on here. I seriously doubt that we have heard the last from him.

It's already talked about in the posting rules:

"Bashing - Deliberately and repeatedly bashing the same brand,
product or company will get you banned. If you have a complaint
or comment to make then make it once and make sure you have
facts to support it. See first rule".

It seems B.Simpson complained more than "once". And that just
goes to show how flexible Phil is with these rules.
 
LOL

I must admit, I gotta problem with typo's
 
That's not all he did. He regularly bashed the camera and Canon and was quite belligerent to those who disagreed with his posts even to the point of the threat of physical confrontation.
 
Somehow I think we will hear from him again. :(

There was a similar situation on photographyREVIEW last March, concerning bashing of the new Canon 10D. All of that persons postings were purged, to the relief of many others, I'm sure. I had just bought a 10D and nearly returned it because of this persons bashing. Scary, isn't it? My 10D is great, no problems. That's a happy ending!

I did notice that the forum has seemed to quiet down a bit (vs. a lot of random noise), that it has become more civil and generally enjoyable.
