Account deleted?

[flinchyy]

It looks like my account 'flinchy' was deleted for some reason? or otherwise banned. Not in the member list at all, no posts/threads exist... Can't even remake a new account with that name?

Hadn't used the site too much, just a few PM's about buying wheels, made a single WTB thread etc..

what's the go with that?

yup i can see your name amongst the banned members, lemme see why you got banned

i can see a couple of deleted threads, i'll contact the mod that banned you

you want your old account back?
or keeping this one?

thanks for the quick response

would prefer the original name if possible. NBD if not.

i'm guessing it's because of the WTB thread in wrong section or something (only just realized there was a WTB subforum)? still...

You were banned because of these 2 threads:

http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=75625

http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=75624

The links in the threads are routed via another website(5gbfree.com). In other words, you posted spam.
Was this by mistake? What is the purpose of those threads?

Also, threads that are in the wrong section simply get moved to the proper section. It is never a reason for a ban.

oook, wow, definitely wasn't me posting those threads. Hasn't happened on any other forum either.

somehow my account was compromised, i guess? That's slightly concerning.

It appears so, though there is very little information to know what happened.
In either case, we will monitor the account for similar posts.
Reinstated your old account, will disable flinchyy one once you post from the old one.

I can't log into 'flinchy', even with the chrome saved password

can't reset it either, since i used the same email address for this account

if it's gone, it's gone and i can just keep using this one. Just curious as to wtf happened with those threads, especially since it was only this forum.

If the IP was banned then this could be the reason that his account is locked. Post the IP here and I can check to see if it is in the list.

[flinchyy]

Well i'm accessing this account from the same IP, same PC so I don't think so?

[P78]

nope you got different IP's for both accounts

i'll pm you

Yeah pretty sure i'm on a dynamic ip plan

Should still be .tpgi (my isp)

The banned one is a tor exit node so banning it wont do much haha. I've never accessed this site via tor though so..

[TheNeek]

Neither IPs are banned

This is a lot of effort for an account that was barely active.

haha. It was a relatively new account, only found this forum fairly recently.

It's more that it's my name EVERYWHERE.. well, everywhere that flinchy isn't taken (only a few places, and NEVER actually used...)

Ah well, thanks for letting me know what's happened, even though it's pretty confusing HOW... anyway, i'll just have to use this account now lol.
