thanks for bumping!

I completely agree with her having the right. I just hope I NEVER do anything to offend because this place is so helpful.

I am bumping this b/c I think that members need a reminder. Please be sure to read the entire thread, and especially Tammy host reply in post #5.

Hi Administrators/Moderators,

 

Yesterday I logged on and could not see the website. It told me I was banned for "spamming destine2design" posts. Thing is, I have no idea what destine2design is!! I sent an e-mail via the Contact Us link and have not heard back.

 

When I logged on today it allowed me to see the forum but the banner was still showing as "Banned" under my name when I checked some of my posts.

 

I just posted this here and noticed it now shows Noob and the Banned banner is gone. Can someone please explain what happened? Did you guys accidentally ban me then take it off?

 

I just want to avoid this happening again...it's no fun seeing that message when you log in.

hi bikergirl, you did actually accidentaly get banned...a mod mistakenly banned your account instead of a member that was spamming...that member has been banned and your ban, obviously lifted.

Hi Tammy, thanks for letting me know. I thought as much but didn't get a notification from anyone so I wasn't sure what exactly happened.

When people are banned, are they permanently banned, or temporarily banned? I was just wondering because someone that was very helpful to me is now banned. Can we still pm her? I'm sorry I'm asking all of this, but I did a search and all I could find on bans was what you could do to get banned. I'm always afraid that I am going to do something on accident to get banned. This site is amazing and I seriously think it was a gift from above (or TammyHost... lol) and would hate to be blocked from its addictive qualities.
