**HERO ACCOUNT WITH 2600 POSTS BANNED FOR POSTING OFF TOPIC, HELP!!**

[vegas_guy]

Guys Im DEVISTAED!!!. I have been a member of this forum for 1.5  years. I have contributed over 2600+ posts of quality content. Ive helped more new users than I can count. Im highly respected in the community and WAS a proud hero member. In the two years ive been on this forum, ive NEVER had a problem, not 1. A couple of months ago I released my first coin, fly coin. Things were going great, so great that I began to look for an additional dev. So I posted a few messages in the same place I ALWAYS post for everything, in the altcoin announcements. Almost all of my 2600 posts are in there. Anyway BAM, I get banned on October 31st 2015. My jaw almost hit the floor. I thought for sure this was a mistake. I didnt threaten anyone, I didnt advertise, I wasnt vulgar. It was a very simple posts that said "hey guys, things are well with my coin, and Im looking to add another dev, if anyone has talent PM me". Thats pretty much it. It took me a while to read the rules and discover this was "off topic". Now whats concerning is there is no date on the ban. If I made a mistake and its a 10 day ban, then Ill take my punishment. Just respond and tell me. Ive made a mistake, by not reading the rules, and I will wait it out.  Ive reached out to badbear and theymos. Its been 6 days and no response. Im a good member of the community, and this was a simple mistake. I was very apologetic in my email to theymos and badbear. Neither has responded. Can I really get my hero account banned forever for accidentally posting in the wrong thread!?!?!? I cant even wrap my mind around that. I BADLY need to update my OP of my coin as so much has changed, but I cant as it was created with my hero account. Theymos if your reading this, please sir, lift the ban on Vegasguy, or atleast repsond and tell me how long the ban is. This was a simple mistake, that I can assure you will NEVER happen again. My sincere apologies.

It would've been done by a Global moderator, not sure why they would consider Altcoin ANN board posts off-topic but if they gave a perm-ban to a hero member they must have had a good reason. And when exactly were you banned, I see you have made posts today, FYI making posts outside Meta while being banned is not accepted.

[vegas_guy]

Ok thank you. I was banned on October 31st 2015. Question: Am I posting in the correct place now?  I dont know who banned me, it said to email a theymos email address (which I did 6 days ago). Can you help me determine what this means?  THANK YOU!!! I am so devastated over this and need some quality guidance right now. I respect the moderators here, and always have. I help anyone any way I can. Im a good person with a good heart that just made a mistake.

Means you are permanently banned, if a certain time period was not specified along with the ban message. You are posting it in the correct section, what I meant is you are not allowed to post in any other board, other than Meta to discuss about your ban. You "as a whole" were banned and if you keep posting from other accounts , you are likely to get IP blocked or something, this will worsen your current account ban if it was over-reacted to by a moderator. I am PMing hilariousandco on your behalf, as you are not allowed to send PMs as well

[xetsr]

Just a heads up - Your new account will probably be banned now too.

Not sure how the alt coin section is moderated but I do believe mods ban those who constantly bump their own thread or use alts to bump (not saying that's what you did). Others in that section probably reported you, getting the attention of the mods.

the way you speak dosent looks like you are that old ,by the way a perma ban always comes after some previous temp.. ban's
guidance :- try pming badbear after a week or two.He is the only hope for you now.

Ok thank you. I was banned on October 31st 2015. Question: Am I posting in the correct place now?

Yes meta is the correct board to discuss your ban. It is also ok to create a new account to discuss your ban, but using this new (or any other) account to post anything else (including PMs) is not ok. I see you posted in the alt section today, this is considered ban evasion is certainly not helping your cause.

  I dont know who banned me, it said to email a theymos email address (which I did 6 days ago). Can you help me determine what this means?  THANK YOU!!! I am so devastated over this and need some quality guidance right now.

Ban appeals are rarely answered. Under the assumption that its your first ban and the ban evasion was not punished, it should last ~7-10 days. Sometimes BadBear forgets to put the time into the message. If the ban evasion was punished the ban might have been prolonged to 30 days.

If you need to contact someone durring the ban you should do so with other means, e.g. via mail. If you have not exchanged contact information in the past you can AFAIK change the signature of your banned account, to allow others to contact you.

Wrong advice. Perma-ban comes from Global moderators while temp comes if admins believe you are to be given only a warning, global moderators can't ban you for a temporary period of time.
As for PMing, that not allowed while you are banned as I said before.
P.S: OP seems you were banned for constant bumping of your thread under 24 hrs, you seem to have done that a lot. Bumps also include updates BTW

Ok so my main concern is , I need to know if my account is perma-banned or not. Thats ALL I need to know.  When I login with my hero account it says:

Sorry vegasguy, you are banned from posting or sending personal messages on this forum.
You have been banned by a forum moderator. You may appeal here: banappeals-w6pquw43@theymos.e4ward.com

Is anyone familiar with this message?

Thank you guys for all your support, and guidance.

you can Pm admin's for the appeal ,it wont be a ban evasion.
however, badbear gives chances sometimes..i have seen it personally .

Is anyone familiar with this message?

Thank you guys for all your support, and guidance.

Usually a perma ban from what I've seen others post in the meta section. Others include a message with reason and how many days the ban will last.

Usually yes.

@vegas if the account is yours from the start you should know whether its your first ban or not. The first ban is almost never a perma ban, esp. not for an older member posting offtopic. It might have been prolonger (or maybe will be) because of the ban evasion, but that should be it.

You are very kind. I had no choice but to create another account. I knew it would be frowned upon, but I needed to inform everyone on my coin thread what had happened. I couldn't just abandon them and not answer. Thank you guys for your guidance and support. Im calmer.

If you're banned, you're not allowed to post anywhere else than a ban accusation thread in the meta section. Your hero account probably got banned because of ban evasion - it didn't get a permanent ban at first. But you created another account to post anywhere else than this thread.

I did post in the ban accusation thread, and was told to start a new post in meta, and I did that. Im so confused. Can someone link me directly where I need to go, and if I need to start a new thread or not.

Thank you in advance.

No, have a look at his very first post, It was perma from the beginning.

A 1st is usually not made into a permanent one right away though. The account "vegas_guy" would have been banned as well if the ban evasion was the reason. I still think its more likely that BadBear forgot to modify the message and just used the boilerplate.

This very thread is perfectly fine, lets give staff some time to answer.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Op if you're devastated because you got banned here, you fucking need to get up and stretch your legs a bit.  And by that I mean get a life.

[vegas_guy]

Ok to clarify I had only ever had 1 account and that was Vegasguy. That is/was my Hero. I sent messages looking for a dev to a few threads in altcoin. Now I realize now was off topic and against the rules. Out of panic I created vegas_guy to tell my investors what had happened. I dont know where this leaves me.
