I have received negative reputation from a member who has been banned - The Dude. The bad reputation was given on a thread that he posted that i said was spam, because it was! So why should i have these reputation points when i clearly don't deserve them?

That was over 2 years ago. Instead of complaining in the thread you should have reported it. The Dude did not have any rep altering power so the bad rep he gave you only put a yellow dot on your profile.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

Mmm, yeah you weren't deserving of that rep. However, the general rule of thumb is not to take rep so seriously.
Off topic, I've noticed the Dude and Rashakil Fol seems to have got banned at about the same time.
I wonder what happened?

I will ignore. But Ancient dragon, the thread is two years old but the rep came through - Mar 17th, 2009 5:51 pm.
Just thought i'd point this out, incase you'd overlooked it. Thanks

I believe that the Dude was banned some time last week for posting spam outside the Geeks Lounge which he had been warned about many times before. Not sure what happened to RF though...
There are no stupid questions, only those too stupid to ask for help.
echo is a web developer's best friend. 
Rashakil Fol was banned because he flagged a blog post by happygeek ? 
(That's what Rashakil Fol said in one of his posts which was later deleted!!!)
Umm..He used 'crude words' in his post. Maybe that is the reason it was deleted.
P.S. Maybe his fierce battle with Serkan sendur was another reason !

Rashakil Fol was not banned for flagging a blog post by me, or indeed for anything to do with me.
He was banned because he posted an offensive comment attacking another DaniWeb member in a way which broke the rules. As Rash had already received numerous warnings in the past about such things, and already had an active 5 point infraction on the system, the new infraction took him to the 10 point ban threshold.
Simple as that.
It was not a decision taken lightly, and was discussed at length by the moderation team. However, all members have to abide by the rules and they apply equally even if you happen to be a long-time member and former mod as is the case with Rashakil Fol.
The Dude was banned for posting spam which again took him over the 10 point limit.

Just wondering, how about having a 'Hall of Shame' to list the banned members and the reason for their ban ?

I don't like the hall of shame idea to be honest. I cannot see any positives coming out of it, and anyway it would mainly be full of entries such as: spammer, spammer, spammer, spammer, spammer, spammer
