    • Statement (forwarded through PM):

I was edit-blocked today, after my fourth BNBR violation. Two of them I feel I deserve, but two (including the most recent one that got me blocked) I think I could appeal. I tried appealing one but got no response. I will try to appeal the other. Just in case you’re wondering where I’ve gone.

It’s almost exactly one year since the last time I was edit-blocked. My luck is just phenomenal, isn’t it?

Banned:

  • User [M*rtin V*dakara]
    • Reason Given: Multiple Violations
    • Statement (Email):

Got banned.

Though to be quite why would they ban me now instead of before?

https://aworldofeverythingandany…

To be quite honest I’m quite disgusted at Quora. I don’t mind being banned I deserve it though to be quite how they banned me now randomly is ridiculous.

The real name policy is a problem. It attracts trolls, destroys the company image, and anger pisses me off when they target and stalk other users on Facebook.

Obviously I know the people reading this won’t who I am since I was not a very popular writer. I just want to say that I’m quite sad I never had a chance to say goodbye. Bye Gigi J Wolf. Bye Korey Daniel. Bye Sierra Spaulding. Bye Laura Campbell. Bye Crayssa Kramer. Bye David Payne. Bye Salwa Halabia. Bye Tom Ramsey. As well as the people who followed me and I upvoted over my time at Quora.

I’m out of the matrix. I guess I’m free.

I probably pissed people off unintentionally and intentionally during my time since October 2015. I’m glad I was exposed to new knowledge and perspectives. But I’m just glad that somebody upvoted me. I’m happy that I got to write some small answers and just reveal a little bit of myself to the world at a time.

Sigh. Adam D’ Anglo. Seriously dude, if you care about Quora make sure you do something about about trolls?

Well…goodbye

Quit:

Gordon Miller: what one decision shaped your life today?:

My decision to quit Quora for good.

[Comments]

Quora is unable or unwilling to enforce the BNBR policy but quick to warn me. I am done with the abuse and bias.

[Boo!! Ok so one request…please don’t delete your answers. They’re invaluable. ] If I go so do my contributions.

[I really hope you will stay.] Only way that happens is if Quora steps up and enforces their own policies.

[What?! Why would you quit?] Because of the fake profiles and constant abuse unchecked by the Quora Gods.

[Dont quit. It will make me cry :(.] Better keep tissues handy, Quora has abdicated their responsibility to police abuse on the site.

[What!!! Nooooooooo!!!!] Yep. And you can blame Quora management.
