crookesey 632 #49 Posted May 10, 2022 The banning brigade have been hoisted by their own petard, hence the poor take up of the amnesty. Usually an amnesty is applied to folk who have transgressed, not those who have been the target of the bully boys and girls who should themselves be banned.

I tried to post on the Ukrainian issue, I posted a Russian symbol and got banned and blocked. It was difficult to get back on. No wonder there are fewer people posting!! Just to mention here - you weren't banned and blocked for posting a Russian symbol, the spam filter automatically blocked. And I restored your account straight away.

I used to post a LOT back in the day and asked to have my account closed down many years ago but a year or so ago I returned and had to use this username…thingy. Totally new account , all above board and legal. I darent even hint at who I was, but no matter! Because I’m vanishing again for a bit and with a WHOOSH , a flash of light and a slight smell of methane, your ex hero vanishes yet again! Hmmm... Excuse my curiosity, but how's that work then? The account you're now using was registered 13 years ago! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Jabberwocky 46 #59 Posted May 10, 2022 I was a regular poster a long, long time ago and closed my account. Came back years later under that old username and was instantly banned. Contacted Helpdesk who allowed me this username on the original account… 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

That's very interesting... ... so when you change your username, the joined date and all your old posts stay as they were. Thanks for that... ... it certainly clears up a few 'unexplained queries' that I've noticed on the forum! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
