PLEASE NO SPOILERS.

First ever anime, recommended by a friend.

Just watched s1e4, they're at a school as little chili kids.

I read some reviews on imdb about this specific episode. And they seem totally different to what I just watched.

Im a little confused... I was totally drawn in by ep1, it was brilliant. Just started episode 5 and they're still kids in a school cleaning windows. I've just hit pause and came here to see if im watching the right thing here?

Thanks

Has anyone seen or heard about Bidrops? It went live today. The creator was on Facebook answering some questions and it seems interesting, im gonna try and list some bits and see how it goes.

Hi, I'm looking for some advice. My knowledge of such things is minimal, so I am sorry if I make any mistakes here...

A well-known online marketplace permanently banned my account, which was a source of income.

My end goal here is to get my account back as it's a significant (for me) income loss.

I have been trawling through terms and conditions, terms of service, etc, to see where I stand from a legal point and if making a small claims court action could help.

The reason for the ban was "commercial sales" (I was using a business account specifically designed for this purpose).

The business account allows me to sell in bulk, sell multiples of a single item, and sell for a profit.

I had a temporary 5 day, 7 day, and eventual permanent ban for "commercial selling."

I submitted appeals (all failed) that took longer than the ban period for an answer. I was met with ai responses only. I emailed them directly and sent handwritten letters, all ignored or advised by ai again to upgrade my account.

I requested my data from the company and can now see user reports against my account.

On the days of both temporary bans, I had over 20 user reports all within 5 minutes for "commercial sales." As I can see the time stamps, I can see that I was temporarily banned shortly afterwards.

Leading upto my permanent ban, I was again spam reported for a few minutes and then banned.

Also, when I received notifications of these bans I was prompted to "sign up to a business to enable commercial selling".

I read about GDPR and ADM - automated decision-making -

“The data subject shall have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her.”

[Article 22(1)]

I believe this where they have fallen foul.

The actions of the automated decisions has significantly affected me. (Loss of income).

Its 100% clear that no human reviewed the sanctions (even when requested by myself multiple times) because it would have been understood that:

1. I was already using a business account.

2. I was not breaking any rules.

3. And more than likely the reports were coming from a single user (competitor perhaps?).

I have sent a final email today, to every available address I could find on them stating I believe theres a GDPR breach and that I may report to the ICO and trading standards.

If you have read this far thank you. Any advice or comments will be appreciated.
