Last night,my IP was banned due to spam. I don't know why this happened or the reason for it. I just want to know what happened and why this happened. I have no answers. I just want to know why this occurred. I went to the editor. I haven't heard back. I have a lot of questions but no answers and I need them. Why did this happen? Was it a mistake? What's going on? Why did this occur? Can anyone help me get them? I'd really like to know what happened and why this happened.

You know what? I think I may have accidentally pushed something by mistake that banned your IP address. I was going through the Moderated posts a couple of days ago and was trying to mark a spambot when I marked you as one by mistake. I had half a dozen tabs open and accidentally marked you instead of merging the post into the correct thread, and that might be why one of your IP addresses got banned.

I immediately removed the "Spambot" status after realizing what I did, but, unfortunately, I can't undo the IP ban, as I don't have the capability to do so. My bad Anime smallmouth + sweatdrop.

Hopefully someone from Admin. can undo this soon.

I moved back everything since the beginning of the year. I think that's most of the relevant stuff.

Thank you,Dan42. I'm grateful to you. And since you live in Montreal,let me just add a Merci Beaucoup to that. I know it means the same thing. I just wanted to say how grateful I am that this is all over with.
