[philosophicalbastard]

I got really worried! Especially since I've made a few more "Aggressive" posts recently.

When in doubt, run. That's the first rule of glowing portals and people with obviously sinister names.

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

I don't think so... No, I don't see a message.
Besides, it was just a little mistake, Tech Team News'd something about it.

 

[Slaanax]

I was like, wtf did I DO! I felt kind of letdown.

 

[AvsJoe]

Yeah, I was going nuts over my being banned. Seriously, I posted a few hours ago about how I'm "addicted" to this site. This "ban" fuckin' confirmed my addiction. Some people drink, some some smoke, some do drugs; I do the Escapist. Yeah.

Fuck, I sent two messages to the mods and I emailed Avsjoe three times just so I could see what I did.

Haha don't worry dude, I e-mailed other people as well. I'll bet many of us did.

[The Austin]

EDIT: See here for the explanation, folks http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/Tech-Team

I don't follow, what's that crack in the wall mean Root?

The End of all Time...

Well don't look at me it's not our antics I swear.

(Guess I need to wait till the DVD's come out....)

 

[Quaxar]

Awww...I go away for the day and all sorts of havoc breaks out without me.

I feel left out... *Sniffles* ;_;

Ah, so it was you! Don't you dare leaving the Escapist ever again!

Yes, yes we should

 

[_tinned_magpie_]

Phew... I'm glad that's over and done with. When I started getting hints of a ban my paranoia went off the charts, mentally scanning my recent posts to figure out how I'd screwed up.

Escapist, I know it was an honest mistake but please, don't scare us like that, guys!

 

[Gindil]

Hmmm... For a second I was worried. Haven't come to the Big E for about two weeks then suddenly I couldn't post. @_@

 

[PhunkyPhazon]

Oh good, it wasn't just me. Glad to see it's fixed ^_^

 

[Sethzard]

The report button is gone, what happens if trolls invade?

OH SHI--

[manaman]

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.

Don't trust the dalek! It doesn't really want to give you a sympathetic hug!

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.

Odd how I didn't notice that until I read your post.

Perhaps we are all unbanable until the problem is fully resolved? That's probably the way I would go about it: Disable reporting/banning until everything is fully debugged, then re-enable it. Also, as has been previously posted, I am curious how this affects everyone's chance at the Neo badge.

I'm sure once it's sorted out that won't be a problem. People ask for suspensions and temporary bans all the time and that doesn't affect them getting their badges.

OH god no... This was all a conspiracy to cause a distraction so that the trolls could invade the Escapist under the orders of the QUEEN OF ENGLAND! NOOOOO!
