Question Banning.

[Snapscuba]

When you have been banned, what recourse do you have to explain yourself ?

I'm just quickly going through the posts and scrambled the letters of retread in my head.

So it sounded like ret@rd... and it was quite a double take on my part, while at the same time I'm thinking: "you'll get in trouble but you go Marie! "

100% at first I was like wow is it because they just rated out that they made a new account

Do you mean when your "Friend" joined here, posted a spam message in an inappropriate forum and then got banned?

I saw you joined soon after your "Friend" got banned from the same IP address.

Don't make the same mistake as your "Friend",

Yes my “friend” did do something wrong & got him self banned. But it was an honest mistake, my “friend” just wants to try & sort it out. But there doesn’t seem to be much help ? What sort of forum / club are you, that you can’t give some advise ?

Have you not found the terms of service? Don’t violate the terms of service, don’t be a spammer, don’t sell something out of a selling forum.

Edit: Ah. You were selling outside of a sales forum. Therefore you didn’t bother learning how the forum works, and asking questions.

If you notice, there is a whole forum for tanks and bands, and a sales forum for that same forum. That’s where you need to sell your widget.

This is how I imagine just about all moderator messages going, at least internally.

Your forum is large & involved, & to a beginner difficult to get right first time.
Your message said “ you couldn’t put spam on the site, & you would have to contact a moderator, if it was a mistake. But how can you contact a moderator if you cannot access the site, if you have been banned ?
This is the question, there is no nefarious intent ment.

There is a “contact us” option, but you didn’t seem to look hard enough so I’m not going to point out where that is.

I wrote you the note.

A different moderator banned you before you could respond.

You’re here now, and you have been given an explanation. You have been told where to post your thing for sale, but please do spend some time finding your way around. It is a complex board.
