Were you just banned?

[geldonyetich]

Judging by the Twitter water cooler talk, looks like we were all banned. They changed the way they were handling the IP for banning and accidentally banned everybody - that's why there was this big gap in posts from 10:37pm PSTish until just now.

Worried me! I was going through some stuff with an accidental redundant suspension last week and was afraid I had offended some higher up in trying to resolve the issue.

What's IRC?

Internet Relay Chat. In the face of web browser chat room accessibility, it's generally an older Internet technology lumped along with newsgroups, really.

Was I the only one who didn't get banned? 0_0

 

[Cabisco]

Me as well, plus basically everyone I know on here. We're talking about it on Skype.

I wish I had another way to contact you all, I was about to add you via facebook just to go WHY AM I BANNED?!?!?!?

I will admit, i'm was a little panicky and I really now want to know what went wrong.

 

[El Poncho]

Yes, and now there will be tonnes of thread asking if we were just banned! woooooooo.

I was unable to post for quite a while, and although that is fixed now, all the report buttons are still missing off everyone's posts. I sent a message though, and fully expect them to fix whatever the problem was shortly.

I was going to cry till I realized it was a bug.

Server Maintence, or a problem with the servers.

An admin told us so in IRC.

What's IRC?

Basically chat.

The Escapist has an official IRC group.

Go google it if you want info.

All I noticed was that my posting was disabled and I did think for a second that I was banned.. however I noticed no topics were getting any new posts, so I figured it out.

 

[Da Joz]

I can post again, YAY!

 

[EeveeElectro]

Same here, I was scared

Hold me...

*cuddles TimeLord*
I'm back! I didn't see any 'User were banned for...' anywhere, it must have been a technical error. I always wondered what happened people who got banned...

 

[TimeLord]

Same here, I was scared

Hold me...

only if you hold me back

Deal! *holds*

 

[dalek sec]

Same here, I was scared

Hold me...

Count me in as well, freaked out for a moment and was wondering what in god's name I could have done to have angered the mods like that.

 

[Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon]

Same here, I was scared

Hold me...

HUG HUG HUG! of the man kind.

 

[crimson5pheonix]

You have no idea how scared I was considering I'm on probation...

 

[Sovvolf]

Yeah I got one... I thought I'd went a little too far with one of my jokes.

 

[PoliceBox63]

I felt my stomach turn to ice when i saw the messages!

I couldn't live without escapist. *thinks about what he just said and realises how sad he sounded*

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

Oh thank god, I can post again! I thought I was banned, too, but I've never been banned before so I wasn't sure! What happened?

 

[BlumiereBleck]

It happened to me. This is clearly the work of evil forces. Ready your weapons men!

YES SIR!!! Yeah I was banned and very upset.

 

[Zykon TheLich]

Just a glitch I guess. Also...this is as good a thread as any to ask in...Do any of the older members remember a poster name of Cheeze Pavilion (or something similar). He was a really insightful, intelligent poster and I just realised I've not seen a post from him in ages and I can't find him on the user search. Any ideas what happened?
