Hello. I hope it is still okay to post here about my ban from Seven Forums (I ask seeing that the last post here is from October 19, 2014 n.nU). If I shouldn't post on this thread (as in that I had to open a new thread), then feel free to delete this post. Thanks :)
Now for topic at hand. I also got banned around 2011 or at most 2012 since my last post was on September 6, 2011, so I take my ban was between October, 2011 and October, 2012.
The reason for my ban? That I reported Seven Forum's e-mail addresses as spam to my e-mail provider. The thing is that I never reported those e-mails to my e-mail provider which is Yahoo. Thing that makes me wonder, how they can be able to know that a person reported their e-mail addresses as spam to his or her e-mail provider? o.o
I never did anything bad at Seven Forums. I even had 159 reputation points since I did a few helping posts including a tutorial related to Windows Media Player =/
I even tried to contact them about my ban, but they never replied to me =/
By the way something funny happened to me today at Seven Forums. You see, I found a solution there for an issue related to one of the recent Windows Updates I installed a week ago. I wanted to post a thank you to the member there who made a solution for this issue. Since my account was banned (same username as I have here) I decided to register a new one. I registered the new account with almost the same username, just adding an extra "A" between the "B" and the "G" and used a different e-mail address. All went fine, I got an e-mail to validate my e-mail address and said my new account was on queue for Admin approval to be fully activated. I said, okay I'll wait. However a few minutes later when I tried to sign in with my new username, the forum said it doesn't exist. What I did was to use the forgot password page and typed the e-mail address I used to register the new account. The e-mail got recognized and thus an e-mail to reset my password got sent. I checked my e-mail and what do you know? It was linked to my old account! I clicked on the link to reset the password and got new e-mail with a new password, and when I tried to login with my old account and that new password, I found out my old account unbanned!
Who would have thought that a mere registry of a new account adding one single letter could unban an account there? :hysterical:
I know that if they see this post I surely will get banned again, but meh. I already did what I wanted to do which was to thank to the guy who posted the fix for that Windows Update from a week ago which resulted in a couple of corrupt files, so I'm fine XD
