Friend's Account got banned. - The_Apprentice - Jul 15, 2014
So a new friend of mine:
https://hackforums.net/member.php?action=profile&uid=866265
Got banned today after I purchased his Ebook.

And he has no recollection of ever trading or selling his account to anybody.
A few other things that were noticed were that his rep got messed up:

When before, his rep was at .
The Ebook thread was also deleted.
Sorry about this, but I know my friend, and he would never sell / trade his account. Maybe he got hacked or something? I know he wouldn't lie.
He is a good guy, and pulled no tricks when I purchased his Ebook.
Forgot what his rep was at, I typed it up before I filled it out and forgot about it.

He was given his 3 strikes all at once, he's done and never can come back unless Omniscient states otherwise. And no he may not make a new account.

His eBook may of obtained blackhat material or gambling, in which the admins took action. That would be my guess.

Ok, we were just wondering the reason. If I could get an official reason to tell him, that would be great. Thank you.

Omniscient was the one who banned him and I wouldn't go against his decisions unless you want an account closed as well.
Anyways, goodluck.

Yea, I know not to go against his decisions, I was just wondering if I could get the official reason to tell my friend. No hostility here lol.

Tell your friend to use the contact form and use the subject "Banning" he will either be ignored by Admins or replied back to.

How should they know, when OP was the first to buy the book?

Just because he was the first does not mean it was the last. There are many crazy people out there who purchase ebooks. One of them could have told F8 if it contains something blackhat. Though I'm thinking that may not have been reason given what Omni put as his ban message.
As suggested, OP's friend should use the contact form.

Your friend obviously got banned for a reason, and no he cannot create another account.
Simple.

Reports about someone buying or selling accounts are taken very seriously and handled very carefully. If he believes that he did not attempt to sell his account then he can use the Contact Form. Keep in mind that his account may not be re-opened after he tries to dispute this and I advise you not get involved in something like this as you can never know if your friend is really telling the truth to you, anyone can say that they never tried selling their account when they really did, and he could just be telling you this just to get his account opened back up. Tell him to use the contact form and not to make another account as that could only make the situation worse.
