    Why was I "banned"

    I'm not trying to hide who I am. I just added a 2 to my old username. This probably isn't the right place to put this, but this seems to be the board admin checks the most. All I want to know is why I was "banned".

    I put the quotes because I can still log in as zachvac, I can still read everything. But I can't type a response. It says that there was an error and either I'm trying to do something I'm not supposed to or admin has de-activated my account. I sent an email over 24 hours ago to Admin@4forums.com and as of now received no response. Again all I'm asking is for an explanation. I would guess this is what happened to Duo_Maxwell and VoiceOfReason because I don't appear as banned, but in effect I have been banned. I am requesting from the 4forums administrator an explanation of why I was banned. It can be put here or emailed to me privately at zachvacATmsn.com (replace AT with @)

    Exclamation

    I wasn't very active on here for a little while, so this may sound like a stupid question, but Duo and VOR were banned? When? Why?
    Truth gains more even by the errors of one who, with due study and preparation, thinks for himself, than by the true opinions of those who only hold them because they do not suffer themselves to think.

    Reading (very occasionally) a rumour that someone has been banned, I have wondered why the admin doesn't make an announcement giving reasons for any banning decision.

    Not a bad idea. It may help eliminate the inevitable rumors about political bias of the forum administration on one side or another, depending on the affiliation of the recently banned.
    - Which is worse--ignorance or apathy? For my part, I don't know and I don't care. -

    Possible software problem

    Zachvac for some unknown reason your account was stopped and waiting for a confirmation email. As if you were just now registering.
    It should work now. Sorry for the trouble.

    Duo_Maxwell and VoiceOfReason were banned, they both were very active but had to be banned after ignoring repeated warnings.

    Thank you for clearing this up. It works now

    Sorry if I over-reacted, I just assumed that since a similar thing happened to Duo_Maxwell and VoR, that that was what happened to me. Most banned people are listed as banned, yet those 2 aren't listed as banned, they just don't show up under the user list. I assumed I was banned as those 2 were, but thank you for fixing this.

    I don't think Duo was banned. I think he just wandered off.

    Well since admin posted "Duo_Maxwell and VoiceOfReason were banned, they both were very active but had to be banned after ignoring repeated warnings." I don't think he just wandered off.

    On aim you get three warnings one in pm one on open board and the final one from admin himself.

    How many watnings do we get on here before banning?
    Stop hospitals using the bodies of dead babies/fetus for medical experiments.

    You can be banned without warning if the offense is bad enough, usually language or very offensive name calling. Normally you will not be banned unless you repeat an offense after a warning.
