Unfair Treatment

[poorsnappydh]

I have been blocked with my main name due to writing a word that was not that bad.  Last night I sat reading a torrent of abuse from several members on the Chatterbank that disguise the swear words they use and get away with it. I dearly love using this site. Please don't block me. I've done nothing wrong. Are you trying to make an example of me??

you were prob picked up by the robots.
The others will hopefully be brought to task today once real people start work.

Hi Poorsnappydh

Users are not suspended for just typing a 'bad' word. The most common reasons for suspension is that a user has been reported by other AB users and the number of reportings has reached our threshold level, or that a user has posted too many times within a set timeframe (this is to try to prevent spammers). In both of these instances the user is temporarily suspended (this is an automated process) while the AB Ed reviews all of that users recent postings.

Once all recent postings have been reviewed the user should be able to post again.

Hope that this info helps.

AB Ed
