I remember you saying that. The ban happened almost immediately. I also think I remember seeing a message for that ban appear (correct me if I'm wrong). I thought it was for an inappropriately long amount of time at a full day. More so, I thought it was inappropriate that you were banned at all.

So, it seems Cryptsy employs two severe tactics:

1. Banning people publicly, for long enough that everyone hopefully forgets about the person (and then never reinstating that person's chatting privileges).
2. Secretly banning people with no message ever appearing in the chat box that a ban happened, for an indefinite amount of time, if not forever.

I hope someone at Cryptsy is listening when I say this...
If Cryptsy has nothing to hide, and they are operating transparently, they should definitely not be employing these suspicious tactics. Any organization with as much visibility as Cryptsy has (and as much responsibility for as many people's money as Cryptsy has) should be able to take the criticism, even when it's scathing. This is especially true when all of that criticism is coming from people who are being denied access to their money for an unreasonably long period of time, which is entirely Cryptsy's fault. I would think Cryptsy would be smart enough to realize this on their own.

My privileges were reinstated, but I think that had a lot to do with my going through the trouble of creating this thread and getting the word out.

Your situation sounds even worse, though. I am sorry to hear you are still banned. There's no excuse for that.

I find it very disturbing that you are still banned (now two days longer than it said you would be). Everyone should have a voice. Please let us all know if/when your chat privileges are reinstated, and feel free to use this place as a rising counter for how long your ban remains in effect.

I'm definitely not ready to cry "GOX" yet, but I find the comparisons you draw to be interesting. I will check out the link you posted.

Thanks for coming here to tell us your story!
