Title: Ban ...
Post by: Polchraine on Sep 21, 2011, 21:39:14
I'm glad to see the ban imposed earlier has been lifted.

I attempted to access the site earlier as was greeted with the message:

Sorry Polchraine, you are banned from using this forum

Improper use of the forum - posting inappropriate content / links.

This ban is not set to expire.

Please can someone explain why?  And what content or links are inappropriate, or is criticising the police not acceptable?

We are looking into this but it might take a little while to work out what's going on, sorry.

You may have seen the PMs to Simon.

Now on my normal IP address but my phone still cannot log on - it gets the banned message on both 802.11 and VDSL or mobile data

I am avoiding logging off on my main PC as I wonder if it will spread to there.

It shouldn't, but you should now have contact details for us if you run into problems.
