Hey, what is the best way to contact a Mod about a locked account?

[Nutdotnet]

Hey all.

My brother's account is locked for some reason and I am curious what is the best way to find out why and what needs to be done to correct this. I am pretty sure he did nothing wrong. Is e-mail the best way? Or.........

His username was Jagfu, so if a Mod sees this maybe he can shoot me a PM telling me what he did wrong.

Thanks!

Cool, thanks guys. I am pretty sure he didn't do anything bad. He did crap on one person's thread but he didn't know the rules here and I thought he apologized.


Thanks again!

 

[Josh]

No problem. Just be kind and courteous and the MOD'll do the same

 

[Nutdotnet]

Oh yeah, I am not a mean guy.

Things do happen and if my brother did deserve is account to be locked then so be it, but to the best of my knowledge all he has done is posted an ad in the FS/FT forum and did screw up once with that thread-crapping incident.

probably not on the "Off Topic" thread... hehe

 

[Nutdotnet]

huh? I think I already got the answers I needed, why did you bring this thread back up to the top?

 

[Azraele]

Just FYI, this type of thread really belongs in Forum Issues. But you got your answer, so it's all good either way.

 

[Nutdotnet]

Sorry, I didn't know where to put it.

Anyways, I had a feeling I knew why he got banned. He thread-crapped on a thread. He thought he was helping, he didn't bother to take the time to read the rules. He is sorry, but I think the Mods are going to be hard on him and not let him come back.

 

[Azraele]

Have him email the mods and explain what happened. Whether or not he's allowed back will all depend on whether this was his first offense or his 30th, how long he has been here/or how well aware of the rules he should be/is, how sincere/sorry he is.

The mods are fair people, though caution him it may take them a while to get back to him since they stay so busy and are only volunteer.

 

[Nutdotnet]

Yeah. They were nice enough to send me a PM telling me why he got banned.

This was his first time. It was border-line thread-crapping. Like I said, he only thought he was help by telling the guy that his price was too high. He is sorry, and he has e-mailed the mods about it.

Thanks all!
