How do you know if you're banned?
I just tried to start a new thread, twice. It didn't post either time.

Is this a glitch? Am I being prevented from posting for some reason?

Am I banned? 1dunno1

Looking for answers...

You would only be able to browse the forum, not vote or start any thread I believe.

Most likely a word in the thread title you planned is banned not you.

Re: How do you know if you're banned?
when your banned, everytime you try and vote, respond to a thread or try to start a thread, you get the following message:

Your I.P. (XXXXXXXXXXXX) has been banned.

thank you for not stalking.



It is a very somber moment of deep reflection and usually regret.

So the word would be in the thread title?

Here's the title: "Google sends notices to merchants: New requirements for Google Search"

what words should I change?

maybe "merchants" is a no-no? They might consider that a spam?

Goodbye, halcyon days...

 There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

There is another theory mentioned, which states that this has already happened.

Yes, you can throw yourself on the sword and beg for forgiveness by emailing the moderators. Sometimes they will have mercy, sometimes not.

OR

You can wait till they do a blanket lift and everybody gets a "do over".

Re: How do you know if you're banned?
If they specifically ban you, you wont be able to view the main page. If they ban an ISP range, you can still see the forum but cant post.

Your connection probably faulted, and your thread wasnt posted because the queries to GLP were too long.

Sure, but you'll probably be in Secret Service custody by then, now that you've unwittingly triggered GLP auto-ban mechanisms. 1dunno1

They probably want to talk to you about making phony claims on your water filters, vis a vis Japanese radiation removal... We TOLD you to stick with viagra! chuckle

Well, after numerous tries, I just post a few sentences and then added my original post.

Can I now change the title?
