Anyone else been banned from AA recently??
« on: March 31, 2010, 02:02:46 PM »
Just wondering if any other member here had been banned from AA in recent times??

No explanation given?? very weird??

I collect arcade machine as used to lurk around on there and enjoyed reading restoration & for sale posts etc. I never posted their much as I tend to spend most of my spare time posting here.

I'm NOT trying to stir anything up between the 2 sites, I'm just trying to understand why??

Maybe you should get an AA member here to ask over there. There are plenty on here that can do that for you.

Me

When I log in I can't view any of the posts?? Comes up with a server error?? !@#

I'm really not too concerned, as this place is the only place I generally post anyways.

If I had to choose between arcade machines or pinball machines, I'd choose Pinball all day long!!!!, however they do both complement each other.  The fact that I can't access AA anymore, doesn't bother me, as I'll just spend more time here at Aussie Pinball.

I say a server error would be different than
a login not working.

Try from another computer.
or
Register a new login and see if that works,

Yeah, as mentioned, best to email one of the guys who run it. I was just pushed out by a password change long ago, although following my own advice and asking why was not exactly successful, I got no reply. Yours might have been a clean up of lurkers?

I suspect if a member was banned from a site running forum software - be it SMF or Vbulletin I suspect when the account was accessed a message would deny login and state 'you have been banned' or email admin re your account being locked.

Admins periodically do clean outs of dormant accounts - if one has not been accessed or if there is multiple accounts from a single I.P etc.

If you are receiving a server error, it could be a couple of things - ie your account has corrupted or a database problem on the server end.

I would suggest to delete all temporary internet files and cookies and try again.

Definately email the forum administrators as well - primarily regarding your account (and for the security of their site) if there are issues with the backend user database or it may simply be a software issue.

Not always the case Marty. There is a mod for SMF (which we can't install) as well as vB called "Miserable Users". Basically it causes a pre-defined list of users to get server time-outs. That's possibly what happened here.

He he he...I can't wait to get vB!  $#$

Both websites are good.  Aussie Pinball just happens to be great !

I think Leon's (V8racefans) blocking is more a computer hassle than anything.

I promised lots of knuckle sandwiches to WG when i was on AA and I never got banned.
A few of his girlfriends wrote me emails but i never got banned.  @.@

Its funny how things turn out, isnt the keyboard commando himself now banned from AA.
I guess who knows. who cares.  %.% %.%

Both sites are very useful.  ^^^ ^^^ ^^^
