Little Help From Admin/Mod Please.

09-15-2003, 04:14 PM

Hi all, I don't know if I'm posting this in the wrong place or not but I can't seem to find any other way of contacting an Admin or Mod. :S

Here's my problem: I registered with these forums on the 12th of this month, I followed the emailed link to activate my account then continued browsing the f0's, not noticing if I was logged in or not. I came back last night and tried to sign in and recieved the following message:

You have been banned from this forum
Please contact the webmaster or board administrator for more information

I've tried to log in again today but I get the same message. I'm sure it must be a forum error as I've not even posted anything, let alone something to get me banned.

I'm not new to foruming and I'm sure I've not missed anything in the process of registering, though it is possible I've overlooked something really obvious I suppose. :-O

Here's my profile.

I'd be very grateful if someone could take a look at my problem, I've read through the FAQ and searched the forums to no avail. I've been looking forward to participating in this forum; it's very informative and from what I've seen so far, very friendly too. I bought BF'42, RtR & SW recently and I'm totally hooked.

Looks like a Pre emptive ban to me.

yeah, probably. You should be able to surf the forums now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for the speedy replies guys, but unfortunately the problem is still there.

I can surf the f0's & post as guest no probs, but when I try to log in it still says I'm banned. It's not my IP range that's banned by any chance?

I must have been a base camping spawn killer in a past life.

I believe that maverick has the same prob. Its rare.

Rexxie · 09-15-2003, 05:58 PM

Hrm, try again. I'm pretty sure it will work this time

Many thanks Rexxie, that did the trick.
