SO Chat Ban - Fair?

[Jaded]

As some of you know from the other day, SO have permanently banned me from chat. This is because I've 'advertised' other sites on there, apparently. I certainly can't recollect doing this and they haven't been able to give me any details - strangely, the ban was put in place the first time I played after complaining about being disconnected and unable to reconnect in a tourney last week. Just me, or strange coincidence?! E-mails to and from SO below... Trying to say hello to another player in tonight's Super Sunday tournament, I was given the message "You have been permanently banned from chat1" I would be grateful for a complete explanation of why I have been banned ASAP. As I am about to mention on a popular forum I am a frequent poster on, the only reason which springs to mind seems to be victimisation of me just because I had the temerity to complain to you about your continued software problems 6 days ago. Yours sincerely, JadedJ (Sent 3 days and 3 hours ago.) ****************************************** Dear Sir, Thank you for your email. I can confirm that you have been suspended from the chat facility due to fact you were found to be advertising. This could include your own products, our competitors promotions, or any other general touting of company names. We are regretful that we have had to take this action but the chat facility is solely for the use of exchanging pleasantries and perhaps encouragement. Any further queries please do not hesitate to contact us again. Kind Regards Harry Customer Care Team SportingOdds.com (Sent 2 days and 9 hours ago) ************************************************** I would appreciate a full list of company names or competitor promotions which I have been advertising, as I can recall no such incidents. Thank you, JadedJ (Sent 2 days and 3 hours ago.)
