How else will you know FD if you are not told.

Link.

I had been banned from the Forum from about 8.00 pm Friday night.  I had no idea why, and those I could contact elsewhere also could see no reason.


So, I tried to log in at various times to see if the ban had elapsed, and it had not.

Then, I saw, tonight, the Thread I just linked, and the comments of Setanta.  So, I tried to log in as Aussie....still banned.  Then, tried to log in as Mod (risky if I was genuinely under a ban...but I was trusting Setanta) and obviously got in.

One of your GMods banned me by banning the email address Aussie used to register, and also, given the (falsely based) arsekicking I got from Setanta when I saw my Mod. PMs, they also locked the Dear Dorothy Thread in Relationships. 

There were two GMods present at the Forum just before I was banned,  Big Vic and Hicks.

I know where I'd bet my money, but this is for you to resolve.

None of that happens
without someone pushing buttons.

i noticed your absence if that makes you feel better. there was something different in the air that alerted me, or rather a lack of something i have grown accustomed to, much like living near a factory that emits sulphur gas and one day you realise the plant has been shut down that this is what fresh air is like ...

I believe it may have been me on my IPad.     I was querying the IP address of another member and used Aussies IP as a comparison.  I think when I copied the IP I may have extended the top of the copy box to include the "ban this email" writing which is in brackets just above the IP address.   I think when I pressed "enter" the address copied to the clipboard but may have inadvertantly triggered the ban email address function.  I did not realise this also suspended the user!

I think this is what may have caused the issue and if it was I apologise to Aussie for my mistake.    Copying and pasting small bist of information  on an IPad is perilous at most times but deadly with phat fingers.  Once again - if that caused the issue I apologise.

This is all sounding very sinister...

Non issue.
End of thread. This isn't the purpose of feedback.
