Hi I made an account 7 days ago as I was looking at participating and I am interested in building a retro computer out of parts I have.
However when I attempted to login a few days ago to make a post for help identifying a mainboard, I was presented with a "You are permanently banned. Contact us if you think this is a mistake. with reason "Reason: Ban evasion".
I never made a post before to do anything to be banned for? So I emailed the contact us form.
No reply, so I thought Id re-create an an account, as I feel I may have done something wrong in the original account creation.
With the recreated account I made a post about help identifying a socket 7 mainboard. However a day later that user was also banned and post removed. I realise in hindsight it may not have been the wisest thing to do I probably should have just posted here.
Well now I am posting here. I am Unsure why my original account which was only 7 days old was perm banned, I never posted anything with it, I did verify my email (gmail add) so its not that?!
Is there a way I can resolve this? I haven't had any replies yet to the contact us form. I am hoping it's not being ignored due to mods thinking im actually trying to evade a ban.
Also this place Vogons appears to be the most active about Vintage computers, other sites seems to be wastelands with infrequent posts etc. So Id prefer to be able to participate here.
thanks.
