Not so quiet around here :)

:WHO did you get those responses from?
Directly from the main man himself.

:I've only heard (twice) from Tech Support
In which regard? Don't tell me you have been banned as well ?
-
YES! Ostensibly for "Like"-ing someone else's reply?? (I was given no reason, and only found out by surprise the next day.)
In fact, the entire Leaderboard (since 2009) -- with a few key exceptions, mercifully -- has been banned. That's why it's so quiet over there.
And I wouldn't know how to get in touch with any of ezlo staff, esp. the owner, without being able to DM them on the Forum. Catch-22!!
-
Sorin has just told me Elcid is also suspended. Don't know what he's done.
-
I have the long list of banned Forum members but it has grown since Feb. 27 when I made it.
It starts... "ElCid, HSD99, Matteburk, Mai_Pensato, Crille, eonnet, hienry_k9, Forzaalfa, TomD, LibraSun, Shoktronic, DesT, Catman, kfxo, Pabla, slelieveld, akbooer, rafale77, matsohl, tunnus..."
I strongly suspect you get a pass because you author a tech blog.
-
Gees, I know a lot of those names, didn't know Pabla and Crille were banned and I certainly didn't know ElCid was banned.
Well I always speak my mind and if something doesn't work I'll say it doesn't.

I'm suspended until 2/27/3021 according to the Sign On screen.
"Account suspended until February 27, 3021: Breach of forum rules"(FYI, I did not know this for 48 hours, because the login screen said nothing at all at first.)

:Got banned quite quickly from Vera/ezlo forum, without any warning. I was kinda asking for it, but still, they could have some sense of humour over there
Welcome to the new normal

:I've asked for them to delete my account, but they say "the jury's still out"
If you're in GDPR territory, there is no jury. Your request is ironclad.
Ummm, not really unless the data is stored in GDPR geography ITYF.

Clearly they aren't using the forum platform software as intended. "Suspended" is meant to be a reasonable time based suspension rather than a permanent ban.
Others who have been "Suspended" also. won't be back then if they have the same date of 3021 ?
Appears there are no proper appeals process or procedures.
Only thing you could do is contact Customer Care for what good that might do.
Who is going to help me with Node-Red now? Is ElCid a member here ?

Yes i am here, as always I will help anyone who asks.
Just for info - I have no idea what the reason for my suspension, I have contacted CS but they seem to be just ignoring my request for a clear reason.
As to GDPR if they run servers in europe then we are covered by GDPR, even if they move the servers to the US, as I think there is a privacy agreement with the US.
Is there GDPR in the US? - GDPR USA - Cookiebot™

Everything I've read says it does not matter where the data are stored, it matters where the owner of the data (you) live. If that were not true, GDPR would be very easy to circumvent.
-
Yes, it’s really ridiculous and all my ongoing PM’s and threads with the dev team is now just left unanswered.
Feels like I’m being rude not answering them but what can we do.
I also got the “we needed to escalate your case” answer and heard nothing more since then. -

Lets just say I wasn't outright banned, but was asked if I wanted to leave. Couldn't turn down the offer
.. probably would have been banned anyways thoughTo be honest, I didnt even care for that forum anymore esp since I can get plugin help from the devs here.

I doubt they do run servers in Europe

Yeah. But no. Imagine the data was on a server in North Korea. Or Iraq.....
This was, and is, one of my responsibilities in my day job.

Well, yeah, OK... but I don't think that's the case here. Take a peek at where the hostname resolves. At least here in the US, it's good for a chuckle.

Its bonkers, when did you get suspended then?
So you have not been a rebel on the forum? Seems you can get banned for any reason. Top people being kicked off.

@cw-kid I have not been able to login since the 28/03.
As to rebel, just a little more blunt than you. As I see it someone was on a purge.
Shame they are purging people that help others, specially vera support, still plenty of support here though.
