He will have to ask Mr.Admin to unban him. Autoban is meant for actual commercial spammers / spambots so I’d expect the autoban to stay in effect unless manually lifted.
If you wish to, you could contact Mr.Admin on his behalf. Technically, people marking his posts as spam and getting him autobanned was improper use of the spam button.
I recall Sb saying that the spam button is not meant for annoying posters, trolls or posts you don’t agree with. For trolls and other people causing a problem he said to pm him about it.
i think its good that the community has a tool to tell what they do not like!
but its always a small path between free speech and what is good the community (also outside this forum)
one of the best ways i have seen was a forum where the members can give “thanks” to posts or “dislike” it…
and if the negative votes became (10 or 20) more than the positive the thread was blinded out
the autoban happened when 5 posts of the “spammer” have been voted down.
but also there the Admin(s) had to look into the closes to go against “pitchforking hordes”
I hope you’re not implying that any of this has anything to do with the BLF Administration.
The reaction (the automatic ban) was generated by the BLF members by hitting the SPAM button. The Adminstration didn’t know anything about the ban.
Well, not until I told them.
And as soon as they found out about the ban, they lifted it!
As to the forum itself - indeed it is biased. People have biases and these biases tend to reveal themselves. Some people like certain vendors and let it be known. Others dislike certain vendors and let that be known, too. But no one plasters their opinion all over the discussion board like a madman.
Actually, I have the same feeling about GB as Jack-bkk. If all he said is true (and I believe him), I don’t see why others would rate it as spam. I am glad the ban is lifted.

I have to say GearBest is bad as many people on this board have said. I think what Jack-bkk did was inappropriate but I think this fact should be known to other people.
Just so that I’m not accused of being bought off by GearBest, I am posting the following experience that a conflictive user posted all over the forum. This same post was repeated many times in different threads, which irritated other members, resulting in the deletion of said posts. But the experience should be mentioned (once) here:
