I am not a happy bunny! I replied to an email to Si about a subject we had discussed before and now I have a block for a couple of hours because I mentioned another site in it!

I need to reply to a couple of mails tonight and now I can't.. All because I tried to help out! Last fooking time I do that!! Just hope those I promised an mail to will understand.. Off to bed totally pissed off!

I thought replying to personal messages and mentioning other sites or sending links was ok?

Bit worried I'll accidentally break rules I don't even know about now.

Can anyone clarify please?

Yep! Sending info to the Boss! It was only for two hours, but that meant we couldn't email two couples on here! But site names in private emails? Perhaps a little too far

"Are you saying that a site you mentioned in a pm got you a two hour block from sending pms?"

Yes, I sent a message via a profile and the system picked up the web site name in it and promptly banned me from sending messages for two hours. I do think it is a bit much that they monitor our private mails in this way.. Buy they own the site...

I wondered why one of the sites I like to recommend for parties always got a spam warning. Surely that stops the message though.

All ive ever had is (this website address is blocked) but thats only if you havent sent any messages to the people before, think its two or three messages then it lets the site come up, but never heard of it blocking you,

If you just got a warning, beware! I had no warning, just a two hour time out! Yes it stops the message, but I am not happy about my private mails being vetted in this way! It does mean that I will go back to using off site mail once initial contact is made, unless they stop email addresses next!

They do say you can appeal, but then in another place tell you they don't or can't read all mails! As all mails go to the same place, it seems like lip service!

The forum mods are all volunteers.

Mistakes and mistjudgements occasionally do happen. We do ask that forum ban complaints are directed to us via the CONATCT link.

If you contact us about a forum timeout we will look into it. If you don't hear back from us you can assume we think the timeout is fair .

If you treat the forums as a bit of fun, you won't go far wrong and you're really unlikely to have any problems.

They don't monitor mails Rumour, it is automated and if some sites are blocked for spamming reasons thats when it happens, not that someone is sat reading your mails watching for a link.

Either way, please stop with the comments about your bans ( sounds like you get them everyhwere) and if you want to dispute them go to the proper place.

It depends on what rule is broken. Admin decide how long they are, anything from 24 hours to a perm.

Quite simple really, please post again when you have checked the appropriate logs and confirmed the true events.

I've no current ban, as yet, to dispute, but i have contacted Admin to confirm the logs and the veracity of the "story".

In any event, are you suggesting that "stories" shouldn't be told, made up, embellished, on Lounge Forums.

I won't be confirming anything as I am not looking at any chat bans you have recieved.

As I said on previous posts, having digs about previous bans on the forums all the time is not what Admin want. So any previous bans you still want to dispute use the right channels.

I'll repeat, i have no current ban, all previous ones are spent.

The true "story" of the ban of which i posted was in fact rescinded after contacting Admin through the proper channels.

I'd be amazed if the word "snow" did not appear in the log or my "appeal".

It should be simple for you to check the truth of the matter.

Seems a reasonable site precaution to me, I'm sure nobody would want to be recieving spam and adverts in their inboxes. If this sought of thing goes unchecked then that's where it eventually leads.

I appreciate that recieving an automated short term ban would be annoying, but is there a better way of policing it?

You know I wasn't talking about chat as you were commenting on a thread that mentioned forum bans.

You are winding yourself up over something that I wasn't talking about.

BUT, I will have to leave you to carry on as it is a tad boring now.

As always, snide remarks about unjust bans please leave away from the forum as per the rules.

It does say they review every ban and if they think it is the right ban you won't hear anything.

Now as this is only talking about bans I will shut it like Admin did.
