i went to work the other day and came back to post and was brought to the attention that i am forbidden to post on the forums, a quick search of my posts produced no behaviour on my part in which i violated any of the rules...i emailed the moderator who promptly emailed me back saying that he/she had no clue as to why i was banned, one of the other moderators may have banned me....my heatware is excellent and i did not start any illegal threads, i waited the whole day, today i finally recieved word that i am allowed back but still got no idea as to which mod had banned me. i aint pi$$ed or anything but whoever it was, at least i deserve an explanation as to your actions.

Jay, we have been looking into it. As far as we know it was a system glitch, as none of the other moderators have any problem with you either. It is possible that your user name got highlighted and chosen accidentally. Please accept our apology.

I'm pretty sure it was a system glitch. I had the same thing happen to me. It appeared as though I was banned from the forums, and the next day I was allowed to post again. I emailed the mod about it, and I got a reply saying that it looked to them like I wasn't banned at all, and they had no idea why I had been banned. <shrug>

Either that, or there's a mod out there who had really bad aim with their mouse ;)
