Have you been Editing and are Suddenly Banned?

[Vic]

Have you been in the middle of re-editing a post and suddenly found yourself banned, for no apparent reason?

The reason is that if you repost and re-edit several times in a row, there is spam protection in place, and it will view your edits as spam. That is why the auto ban takes place. If one of the admins is on--they usually lift the ban almost immediately. So if you happen to see someone is banned suddenly please send us a PM.

To avoid this auto banning, please use the Preview Post option which is right next to the Post button. You can re-edit as many times as necessary and not surpass the auto amount which will result in the program banning you.

You will notice you need to reopen the smiley window or copy/paste the code for them as it deactivates each time you preview post.

Please note that you have 25 minutes to complete any editing once you do post. But allow at least 2 minutes before trying to edit once you have posted, or you will get auto banned. If you do it too quick after the post it views it as an attempt to spam.

As an aside, allow me to assure you that no one will be banned without having specific warnings--several, and then only as a last measure. Those warnings would come via PM and/or email-so rest assured no one will be banned without notice.

No one to date has received any warnings.

The only instance of an immediate banning would be for someone who posted to spam repeatedly or who blasphemed-and that was their entire purpose for posting.


**Please do, if an admin contacts you via pm or email regarding behavior or posts or posting on the forums, please respond. To not respond signifys a strong possibility you don't wish to be on the forum, or shows total lack of respect for the forum admins. Which adds up to the same conclusion.

That is how we see it at this time. Hope that helps.
