Anyone able to explain why there some posts in between the two above ones that have been deleted from yesterday??
I have no idea. Wheelo removed a few posts yesterday mentioning servers by the looks of it and without going into it I'm unsure, but he wouldn't of removed them unless he had good reason.
I'm slightly bemused as to what "wasn't right" about me, but I digress.
Anyway, just to clear up any misunderstandings, there was no "spamming". Part of a post I wrote contained two links, one from the premier league's website detailing which companies outside the UK held the EPL rights from next season and beyond and the other was a website that allowed you to receive text messages in other countries. I had used it myself and shared it simply because I thought it might be useful to someone.
Clearly this was such a terrible, terrible crime that it warranted an immediate banning and removal of all of the posts I'd made (as RayPurchase). I was also subsequently ignored when I contacted the admins to explain this mistake.
But it is what it is. I've been around the internet long enough to know when my face doesn't fit in the club and it's fine.
Take it easy folks.
Couple of things, believe it or not I'm not sat at my PC instantly replying to enquiries sent to the forum. We receive hundreds of emails each week and it takes me some time to go through them.
Your account was automatically banned as the reason given is "contact the admin if you think we have made a mistake". If either of us had banned you, there would have been a reason given.
I suspect you were banned because one of the links you shared is registered in our database as being a spammy website. It doesn't usually ban members unless your account is new and you've posted links as soon as you've joined.
You then went on to make a further 2 duplicate accounts that were again automatically banned as soon as you registered, you then got through the checks with this account being your 4th in total. When the forum software catches this account as it's running through checks it will again automatically ban you unless I whitelist your account.
I'm going to unban your original account and sync your post above with the original account.
It's nothing to do with your face not fitting and everything to do with not following the rules quoted here 👇.
- Don't join the forum and instantly post links to other websites. You will be viewed as a spammer and likely banned automatically.
Don't register to a forum then instantly go on to posting links to spam websites. It doesn't do our page rank any good when we're linking to these websites. These checks are in place for good reason and it keeps our forum safe for other users. When you log back in you'll be directed to your original account.
