Hi, everyone!

This is Blaed, moderator of [email protected]. I just wanted to let you know my main account ‘Blaed’ is currently banned. I’m not sure why. At this moment, we are flying into the unknown. Thankfully, I don’t think we have any bad actors at play here.

I’m almost certain I simply forgot to double check a verification email or something buried in my old email inbox (I’ve recently switched domains and hosting providers). I’m messaging the admins on this account to reverify myself and regain access to ‘Blaed’.

I have no reason to believe this has anything to do with the contents of our community or any wrongdoings against myself. I was surprised to wake up one day and see I was banned. It was more amusing than annoying, but I’ll figure it out. Don’t worry about it.

When I regain access to the account I’ll be doing all sorts of updates and content cycles for us to engage with. I’m hoping to get this resolved within the next week or so.

Stay tuned for updates on this account.

    According to the modlog [email protected] was banned 3 days ago for spam, with a 2 day expiry. Maybe one of your posts was interpreted as spam?

      This also shows the removed posts.

      Should be okay again. The expiry time is over.

      I’d be interested in a follow up. Seems a bit weird to me to temporarily ban someone without notice and without explanation for 3 posts.

      [Edit: Sorry. The modlog meant in x days, not x days total. So you weren’t unbanned yet. But now it shows the ban really expired.]
