Today I found the following message in my inbox which was telling me that a moderator of this group had removed me.
Well, it wasn´t my most favorited group over Ipernity so far but beside of that I was bemused cause since now I thought that my helping of new arrived ipernity-members would be welcomed in this group.
I didn´t expected that there was any comprehensible reason for doing something like that cause I don´t acting like a troll or talking against other guys in a personal art or something other which gave any reasons for dropping me out of a group. Cause this was the first time ever where this happened I think I´m not completely wrong in it if I said that I acting mostly friendly.

So I did what Ipernity propose to do: I asked the administrating guys what the heck was going on and why they removed me from this group. Well, thankfully one of the four answered me.

In summary the reasons why they did removed me are the following
  1. I blocked an admin of this group
    Well, yes, I blocked an admin of this group. But not because he was one of the four guys which are so called Moderators in this group. And I did this for a reason which haven´t anything to do with the New Flickr Survivors - group. The reason for blocking him was that he adviced members of groups to use these award- and invite-banners which aren´t common on Ipernity.
    I don´t want to get comments like that, and I don´t want to interact with somebody who would like to do that, not even by mail. I call this kind of "communication" spam.
  2. I interact with a guy who was blocked from this group already
    Huh?! What the hell is going on here?! Did I have to monitor the block-list of every group which I belong to if I don´t want to get removed from the groups I belong to? And - where can I view this list as a member of a group?
    What a sordid business - what kind of family liability was that?!? Never heard anything like this before on Ipernity, which kind of guys are comming from Flickr if this seems to be common there?! I copy what I had written before: I don´t want to interact with people who thinking something like that.
  3. I posting insults in the group
    Huh? Did I? And - where?! Since I had just removed my documents from the group but no discussion-entry which was made by me I hope somebody can point out an example of this insults I should had made. As I mentonied - I thought I was just helpful to others, I don´t want to offend somebody. I had asked for an example, maybe the moderator who answered me why I was removed from this group could give me an example, too.
    Well, I don´t think "Love me, love my dog.". I try to bang heads together even it´s my own... but to do this I have to know what´s wrong with my acting before.
Where was I? Ah, yes, I´m explaining why somebody kicks me out of a group to inform the guys who like my helping hands and why I wouldn´t be there anymore...

Well, the message from this admin telling something more:
...will not be banned from the group if they re-join NFS, unless:
1. Un-block me.
2. Send me an apology.
Well... I don´t want to unblock him cause I STILL DON´T LIKE graphical awards or invites belonging to groups. But... what does that have to do with the group from which he has kicked me out? There aren´t any of these items there. It seemed somebody wasn´t able to seperate such personal issues between the issues of a group. Should such guys moderate a group for a public audience?

And why should I send an apology? For which reason? Just because I blocked him? There wasn´t any reason to send an apology for my decision that I don´t want to communicate with somebody who was an award-banner-catapult, it´s just up to me to make this decision and I haven´t to apology for doing that. It even wasn´t nessessary to get mails by every moderator if there are three others which I haven´t blocked and who can write me as many mails as they would like to do . In general I don´t block many guys, since the last few years there are just - hm - let me say - maybe five ones which I had blocked so far. The guy from nfs was one of them, so what´s the problem with that?!

Well, it was the first time ever I was kicked out of a group for blocking somebody of the members or interacting with somebody, and I´m pretty sure this won´t happen ever again as long this kind of "Flickr-style-moderating" of groups won´t get the minority on Ipernity.

There are groups around on Ipernity where everybody who constribute in a friendly manner get the status of being a moderator as moderating a group wasn´t something like fighting against others - and these groups are well-driven for many years even as everyone was able to go crazy and - at last - can simple delete the whole group or remove/ban other members easely.
And then there are groups in which some moderaters don´t get it how to moderate and going crazy in some ways, banning and removing other members who should be have equal rights by discussing things and participating in the groups they belong to. Sometimes moderators seems to be feeling like gods.

But I haven´t to be in such groups with such kind of moderators even I liked it to help others finding their way through Ipernity in the last weeks. There are other groups around for these ex-flickr-users to finding their help navigating at Ipernity - and at least I have this blog...
