Wrongly seeing ban message (was could you please let me know why I have been banned?)

HeidiHeidi

There's a load of posters reporting this today (not me thankfully!)

Some sort of a glitch.

I presume they're on it.

The only way we've been able to replicate it so far is to try to access a private forum while logged out.

It happens whenever you try to do anything which you would need to be logged in for, such as clicking on 'New Thread' or 'Quote' in a reply.

Used to be that you'd be taken to the 'Log-In' screen if you did that before but not so now, or at least not for me.

Never happens when logged in.

Hi all,

Very sorry about this, but thank you for letting us know. For the most part, it appears to happen when you need to be logged in to do something, as Outlaw Pete said. However, we've had some instances where people click on a forum from their followed threads (again, something personalised).

Looking into this and will keep ye updated.

Rolling out a new database setting, which will hopefully resolve this issue, but could take some time to filter through. Will be following up on it in the morning.

Hiya


I just logged on using my PC for the first time in a while and got the following message


"You have been banned from the forums; this status means that you cannot post on the public forums & cannot send or receive messages. This is generally reserved for breaches of rules or guidelines.

You can check the "charter" of the forum you most recently posted in for potential breaches. If you think you have been unfairly or incorrectly banned from boards.ie - you can make your appeal in the Prison forum.

Moderator note: No reason was specified.
Ban lifted: Never"


I followed the directive to the Prison forum, totally mystified by what I am supposed to have done. Tried to start a thread and got a message that I didn't have permission to post in there. A few clicks and Im able to see my profile and I am hoping that this thread will demonstrate I can post


Is it a glitch for you guys to be made aware of?
Is it a ban I got for boldness that got rescinded?
Is it just one of those glitch in the matrix type things?




cheers

Hi BBDBB,

Unfortunately this is a known issue that a few users have been reporting. We have rolled out a new database setting, which we're hoping fixes it, but it could take a little while to filter through. Will be checking up on it in the morning. Sorry about that.

No worries, I kinda like that bad boy image :cool:

Got this a few minutes ago as well. Logged in, no problem.

HI guys, I got one of those 'banned' notifications myself yesterday which was quite a surprise, I thought I'd gone and banned myself somehow .
I neglected to get a screenshot, but I see you have one already. I put it down to a new browser on my work PC - I closed the tab and re-opened boards from another tab and I've had no issues since.

Unfortunately it still seems to be an issue this morning. Back to the drawing board.

....Aaaanndd just as I write this, things seem to be better. If anyone is still encountering the Banned message, please let me know.
