Has anybody had this happen to them?

Being banned for no reason? I only got reinstated today, I think.

Now I know how the lurkers feel.

Not me, but welcome back Howard

[Howard]

Haha

Thanks, Zim. You really need some sunshine, btw.

[Lithium381]

the mods need no reason to ban someone.......other than entertainment!

 

[freakflag]

Yes. It sucks. Welcome home.

 

[rudeguy]

didnt the mods ban someone for ten minutes just to mess with them not that long ago?

 

[Red Dawn]

Well, you don't have anything to lose, right?

 

[Howard]

Anyway, the whole point of banning somebody is to keep them from posting. If I continue to post, it's stickin' it to the man.

What did you post within your last few posts before the banning? Last thing I remember from you is asking about locutus of borg.

 

[JEDI]

did you ask the mods why? email them?

i know one of the times i was banned, it was for no reason since one of the mods that replied to my had no idea why i was banned. and he got the mod that banned me to unban me. but no explanation of why i was banned.

 

[Howard]

I got a friend to PM a mod. All they said is that they didn't know why I was banned, and that I was to hold tight before I could post again. In fact, they said, "I'll send an email to the moderators" or something to that effect, which is somewhat strange, seeing that the author's name was Anandtech Moderator.

Kiyup - nothing out of the ordinary.

 

[JEDI]

there are multiple mods
