Collateral damage...

[26 may 1999]

Seems i was banned for being English and no other reason...

Casualties of war i suppose.

Bzzt! Wrong answer! Try again!

Banned from where? Obviously not from here.

I was banned from here for a few days...

The banning bullet was not aimed at me but let's be honest it's not the first time the allies have been hit by trigger happy yanks now is it?

Look, one of our little pets is also a LIAR - how nice!

We don't "ban" anyone. Hell, we haven't even banned Yukon the Canadian Pleasure Princess, and as trolls go, you blokes are not even close seconds to Yuckie.

"After some research...we discovered that your account was accidently
banned due to the fact that you and another user shared the same IP range
on the day that user's account was suspended.

Our software uses artificial intelligence to detect people trying to
circumvent a ban...it does a great job, but sometimes it can be overly
aggressive, it appears that is what happened to your account.

I've gone in and added your E-mail address to the "allow" list, so
although our software is still scanning and will recognize your IP range
as being on the ban list, it will compare your registered E-mail address
to those that are allowed and it should bypass the IP ban and allow you to
post while still screening that IP range, so I recommend that you don't
change your E-mail address in your profile or you will encounter the
problem again.

Sorry for the inconvenience...we've only had to use account suspension
software once, until last week.

Again, we apologize for inconvenience.

Let us know if you are still having problems.

Sincerely

The Finman"


You may apologise now.

[DoctorDoom]

Apologize for what? YOU were not personally banned.

... that user's account was suspended.

We suspend. We DON'T ban in a permanent sense, unlike the vast majority of liberal/leftist boards. Ask your mate, King Catatonia. He's whining at Koptalk that we won't ban him.

We give time-outs with the hope that the offender will come back with a little more attention to board rules.
