Hey,
My account Tanarif (hackforums.net/member.php?action=profile&uid=432770) was temp banned for 5 days, with the message telling me the ban would expire at 11:30pm on the 23rd of July. However when I checked after that - it doesn't let me access anything after logging in, not even my PM's, which leads me to believe I've been perma banned.
Now the reason I was banned in the first place was 'eBay partnerships' - not scamming or anything more serious. I've been a member for 6 years - had good positive rep and try to help out when I can with awards etc - why have I been perma banned? More to the point, my thread in the partnerships forum (hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=5167975) was removed once before by a mod - I modified the thread to remove ebay partnerships and only seek craigslists partnerships - and I got explicit permission from the same mod to repost my thread (they restored the deleted thread for me). So 1) I got a temp ban for a thread that was approved, and 2) for some reason that temp ban has become a perma ban.
Whatever the reason, I don't think any of that quite justifies a perma ban. If you want me to stop with the craigslist partnership thread, I'd be more than happy to take it down. But I really don't feel like I've done anything that warrants a perma ban, and as I value the forums quite highly (being a programmer as a day job myself) and having been here 6 years, I really would like to request being reinstated, or at the very least to hear what's gone on here. Thanks!
