Has your profile been banned for no reason?
« on: July 03, 2017, 08:57:33 PM »
Had my original profile banned about a week or so ago and I have no clue at all why... has this happened to anyone?

The reason says because I was trolling, but I only ever post in a few throw down the gauntlet posts and my own journal. I'm the farthest thing from a troller! Just wondering if it's happened to anyone else. Thanks!

Yes, it happens somewhat regularly when they ban people by IP address.  They'll get you fixed up if you talk to the mods.

Unless you're a troll.

You may have a work colleague or classmate who has been trolling :D

I am also getting the message that I am banned whenever I try to access MMM site from my cell phone.  I am not even sure why.  Can that be fixed as well?

I also get a message saying I've been banned without cause and that the ban is not set to expire about half the time I access from my cell.  It clears if I clear the history and delete cookies, and has never come up on a desktop.  I would 1) not take it personally, try clearing the cache and 2) send a friendly inquiry to a mod asking if there's anything anyone took offence to.
