Kaptain Krayola - pie 2.0

As a filthy search engine spammer getting banned from places is pretty routine and usually means you are doing something right. So recently eBay banned the Kaptain for what they are calling “Abusing eBay” and said that his account was “acting inconsistently with the letter or spirit of our policies”. What’s really funny is that they give you the option to “appeal” the decision but never tell you exactly what it is you did wrong. It’s kind of hard to appeal a decision when you “don’t know” exactly what it is you did. The Kaptain has a pretty good idea what it was but it could have been one of many things that was “acting inconsistently with the letter or spirit of our policies” so which one do we appeal?

Figuring the account was pretty well toast from the time that email came in, The Kaptain decided to appeal it anyway. After waiting for a few days he got exactly the response he figured he was going to get: “FUCK YOU” and it wasn’t even Friday.
