My thoughts on stackoverflow.com

My stackoverflow account was recently suspended . About 34 stackoverflow people sent me a message claiming that I was "astro-turfing" and "overpromoting a product". They went on to question the validity of my answers and included a link to their advertising sales department.

I checked my stackoverflow history. In five years I had answered 7 questions

  • 1 question was filtering Sendmail mail ques with regular expressions.
  • 1 question was how to access raw CSS style sheet elements.
  • The other 5 were SCTE-35 related.

My shameless self-promotion

  • I mentioned threefive once.
  • I mentioned x9k3 once ,
  • I mentioned iframes once.

threefive, x9k3, and iframes are all open source and freely available. As far as the validity of my answers, they offered no critique. they didn't say any of them were wrong, they just said my answers might be incorrect and that concerned them.

Why did so many moderators have to team up to send me an email?

Are they trying to use A.I. or something?

ADDENDUM

I may have slept with one of the moderator's mom ... and sister.
