  • Banned. What the bleep????

    Hi there. For anyone who cares, my former account, Koolmagicguy was banned last night for "no reason given". To my knowledge I never broke the rules. I've never even been warned for breaking the rules, yet every one of my posts has vanished from the forum. This is ridiculous. Last night I checked DisneySteve's profile and it said he was banned as well. Checked again this morning and he's back to moderator status. What's going on? Was the site hacked?

    I'm not 100% sure what happened to me but I might actually have done it myself. I had posted a new thread asking a question for a friend and as soon as I did, she found the answer elsewhere. I went in and deleted the thread and might have accidentally banned myself in the process.

    I don't know what happened to your account. What sometimes happens is when we moderators are cleaning up spam, a legit user gets caught in there. We might click the box to select multiple posts and not realize that one of those posts wasn't spam.

    Use the Contact Us at the bottom right of every page to send a message to the admins and they'll fix it.

      Sorry for this inconvenience, I am not sure what happened, but I did write the team to make sure it would never happen again. Users like you and DisneySteve are great assets to the Saving Advice forums.

        I don't believe that I banned you, but you may have been collateral damage.

        We do our best to keep the forums clean. I'm sorry that you got wiped off the boards. If you have any issues in the future you can just PM a moderator or administrator, and they can fix your account.
