One time I made an account there and didn't post for like two weeks. Then, when I made ONE post, they banned me just a few minutes later.

I like how I got banned by trolling trolls, and they wouldn't respond to any of my e-mails. Yay!
I'm seriously tempted to just spam-rush the hell out of that place for kicks

The only email response I ever got back from them was a very sarcastic, unhelpful, and really, rather rude and unintelligent one from Dendy Jarrett or whatever that useless idiot's name is. And I'm pretty sure he only responded because I put "IS ANYONE THERE?" in the title of the email. They never responded to j666, and he sent like 10 emails, and even told them he would just make new accounts since he couldn't just ask to come back if he wanted to, but they kept banning him, anyways.

Here's the e-mails I sent, with the replies:
Just recently, I had the pleasure of finding out that I was IP banned on the Harmony Central forums. The only reason that I can think of it involves a gimmick account that I had, Bluesaholik. The only reason I had created the account was for the purpose of humour: to shadow the troll-account Bluesaholi ck and mock his posting style in a satirical fashion. Thankfully, it proved successful as many people seemed to have much fun with it. Quite frankly, I tried to make it as obvious as possible that it was a gimmick account on all levels, going to the point of obscurity that can only be defined as "I can't believe he just said that ... did he really say that?"
My original goal with that account was to drive Bluesaholick away from the forums, and it literally worked--in a sense. I told myself that I'd stop using it once he was gone, and now that holds true. You can go ahead and keep the Bluesaholic account banned, but please reconsider the banning my parent account, Fl00, and of my IP. I can assure that I won't use any other accounts (as that's what I'm assuming this ban was for--which is kind of silly).
Thanks for your time,

The challenge with your e-mail below is that multiple accounts from one user is completely against the rules at Harmony Central.
And the use of the secondary account by you in this situation would be considered Troll behavior.
I did not personally ban your IP or your parents account, but I suspect that these previously mentioned rule violations were the reasons your account was blocked.
I have copied the other Moderator leaders on your e-mail. I will get some feedback on your request below and get back to you soon.
Thanks,
DJ

I'm just wondering if there's any update on this issue. I truly believe that an IP ban is too drastic for a measure like this, and I'd like some insight on this subject.

It's been over two weeks without a response. Just checking up again...
so yeah i love hc and the fact that completely reasonable e-mails get completely ignored professionality is awesome, keep it up guys

That was exactly what happened to me and j666. Fat chance he ever gets back to you. As I said, that guy is useless, and also an asshole.
I just remembered another time where I caught him making personal attacks against people in the amps forum, which I pointed out as not very moderator-like behavior, especially considering that he was complaining about the behavior of people in the amps forum. He actually removed my quote of him and what I said about it from my post. :tard:

Does he have a supervisor? Especially if he works under Musicians Friend right now, it might be useful to write a letter (written or sent via actual snail mail) to some higher ups to see the kind of response they would have, especially if it negates any kind of sales. Even though these kinds of letters can make a difference, chances are it will be some sort of a pipe dream, but it'd be fun to try nonetheless--albeit a little too much 'effort' involved.

I thought about it before. His response to me was EXTREMELY unprofessional, especially considering how nice I tried to be and that I was just asking a question.
I hate MF and won't buy anything from them as it is. There's no way that forum helps their business, even if it doesn't really hurt it.
If you could message Phil O'Keefe somehow, he'd probably do something. That guy is pretty nice and always responded when I sent him messages.
The thing is, the moderator that banned you may have to be the one to let you back. That's why I didn't pursue it. I got the idea that Dendy banned me.
I have no idea why they IP banned you. That may be a new thing, as I was banned before they totally redid the boards, and they were talking about how one of the big points of the upgrade was having better control over people with multiple monikers.
As usual, the real issue is not their rules, but the unfair and random manner in which they are enforced.
Some people are repeatedly banned and allowed back, and others, like you, are instantly IP banned without warning or explanation.
