I got banned randomly!

I was just surfing around when- BAM! You have been banned for commercial spamming. Why? Also, it wasn't a real ban.... ??? Maybe I got logged on to someone else's acc, and he was banned? (yeah, there is such a bug)

EDIT: Lolz XD the first time I tried to submit this I got the error ban message again >.< Ironic isn't it?


Error:Signature could not load. Please wait for an indefinite amount of time, until you realize you're gullible and go off to look for another potentially interesting signature to stare at.

No you actually did create the topic twice, so I suggest you delete one. Anyway, were you logged into your account? I have no real resolutions, but thats a possible question you'd be asked to know what happened.

One time I was just going to go onto Scratch, and it said I'd been banned, but it was really my sister.  She got banned and got our entire IP address blocked from the site.  Do you have a brother or sister who spams?

Spam is when someone goes on to forums/emails random people linking to their site/product.

Posting in old threads is called necroposting and is generally discouraged though.

Necroposting is spam.

Not always...I would say if the post is still relevant to the topic, it is not spam.  And it should not necessarily be discouraged.  For example, in this case somebody learned a bit about what it means to spam - something everybody should learn  smile

Re: I got banned randomly!

Like my experiance with Target Shooting, some of these experianced can be caused by a mis-click.

Re: I got banned randomly!

This should probably be closed since it was necroposted.

Since presumably this old topic was resolved one way or the other, I'll close it.
