It's always nice when they reuse the same avatar and a similar name, makes banning them so much easier, you'd be surprised how many times someone gets a temporary ban only to create a new account and get both permanently banned.
I mean, I got banned before I could even do anything because I wasn't receiving emails from this site at all and had tried to make a second/new account... Messed that up royally.
I tried to create a second account with a second newly-made email, figuring that perhaps the first account was broken somehow...
That didn't work, so I tried using the first account's new email.
Insta-banned for "
SPAM".
Funny thing is, since I wasn't getting any emails, I never got the confirmation email...
And so I couldn't even post or see any threads in detail yet, let alone get an appeal on the ban since I couldn't message any admins/mods about it.
Felt rather confused, a bit pissed and sorta hopeless.
I suspect the ban was done automatically, given how quickly it occurred just after trying to see if swapping the email to the second account I'd made at the time would work; probably the system spotting that the same email was used by the first account I'd made and tried to register.
I totally get the vigilance, too. Just wish it didn't make it so difficult on my own end to actually register properly.
...Had to wait like four days to be
SURE that my email would be able to receive the confirmation email.
While I'm still not sure if the cause really was this site or not, I suspect it was just something on
tutanota's end.
I know when I deleted the auto-banned email account with them and made a new one, it said something about being unable to receive emails until it was okay'd and somesuch... But I don't recall such a warning when I made that very first account? Dunno.
...But meh.
I'm here now and finally able to feel less-than-alone about my attraction to steeds'n'such.
