Two strikes and a name change

WTAF is going on here?

Last night I posted a post, once it posted I was locked out of my account. No amount of trying could get me back in and two emails to MN unanswered.

So, am I suspended, banned, a glich? I don't know.

As you can see I've only added a 2 to my name so not hiding or tryng to deceive if I have been suspended or banned. Not trying to circumnavigate the rule, just trying to find out WTAF is going on around here.

That sounds a bit disconcerting Sarah; if there is a backstory and you know anything else you might drop me a line too.

Yep, I've lost everything from my old account including DM's. It's crap.

Thanks Sarahjconnor.

I hate this account too, because it doesn't have the 1000 post limit on threads, so I keep having to load multiple pages and I also keep forgetting and so post having only read half a thread which is infuriating.

Yep, I'm hiding in plain sight as well - I mean if anyone thinks I'm namechanging to troll or to avoid a ban, I think I might manage a name slightly less outing than this one Grin

Well, I have no email at all saying anything, so....

I refuse to post in a name not known to me. I don't want to pretend to be someone I'm not. I agree MN have me thinking things I've never thought before and that's sad.

They don't monitor the email they send the "you're banned" notices from.

I only got a response when I emailed the bog standard "contact us" email address with all my details.

It's quite deceptive really, they told me to respond promising I'd be good, but didn't give me a valid address to grovel to.

Mary, things have changed and all since the new guidelines. I don't know why and I don't think we know all the changes yet. It's odd.

I have (yet another) new email address too. I'm considering setting up a couple of dozen more, with interesting names attached, just to see at what point someone notices.

After all, it seems that newbie posters with multiple accounts and, erm, unusual names and views are positively encouraged on MN FWR these days.

Maryzsnewaccount · 28/06/2018 12:29

I was trying to find out if I had any posts deleted, but because of the new system of not being able to AS the words "message deleted by MNHQ" it's impossible to know.

But I don't think I have (surprisingly really).

I've had to set up a new email address too. It's a pain in the rear.

Well, I wonder if the silver lining is; new account so no strikes Grin

Oh no, I apologise abouttoblow. I think I read too quickly!

Maryzsnewaccount · 28/06/2018 12:26

The reassurance was on a thread, by the way, I haven't had an email at all.

Maryzsnewaccount · 28/06/2018 12:26

I can't get into my account either. I haven't been able to for a week, and have had no response to questions about it apart from reassurance that I'm not banned or suspended.

I don't think I've had any emails either, but I'm beginning to wonder whether there is something wrong with my email account too (I have a dedicated mn email account after Jeffrey).

AnyFucker Not sure it will do any good. I've emailed twice and nothing. The same thing happened to Mary a few days ago. It's odd. If I am suspended/banned fair enough, just let me know. I'm not trying to be deceitful, just want to know what's going on.

Sorry Spontaneous if my post wasn't clear.

I'm always on the side of Spontaneous. I was trying to answer Justanotherposter for being a dick.
Need to be more direct in future Grin

AnyFucker · 28/06/2018 12:16

Seems a bit strange. Report this thread ?

I'll even be a gooder girl than I have been by @MNHQ into this so they know I'm here. I'm pretty sure MN would have emailed if I was banned/suspended, so no problem doing this.

Total transparency and all that.
