Dear Moderators and Administrators, The following message is written by a fellow BBS user of mine, Alexander’s Horse, Please do not hold me responsible for the truthfulness of the information contained therein. > [@](#): > > Hi, my friend horsie asked me to post this. He registered a couple of days ago, as Alexander’s Horse, and his account seems to have been disabled on the same day. He’s E-mailed the web master twice but got no reply. Now he can’t even get into the site. > > He thinks he might have been disabled for spamming a forum after he posted a thread and it was deleted and then he accidentally triple posted the same thread on another forum and those were deleted - but actually all that wasn’t deliberate spam. It resulted accidentally from lag and connection problems he was having at the time. The site went down shortly after. > > His threads weren’t obscene or anything. All he wanted to know was where is the OT - horsie likes to joke around. He was just looking for the right place to post the thread. > > Can anyone shed any light on what is going on? > > Many regular users here can vouch for AH - he’s a well known netizen on many forums and an all around stand up horse. > > Thanks The original message can be [found here](http://apolyton.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=1011240) ---

As one of the people who reported the posts made in both GQ and The Pit, **AR** , I’d like to let you know that the reason I did so wasn’t so much because of the multiple posts (happens to us all) but because the sole purpose of the posts seemed to be to spam the address of the EZboard he runs (and, in fact, the threads were titled in such a way as to give that impression). Unfortunately, not all that long ago had a run of my fellow Aussies doing the wrong thing on the SDMB - at least one of those posters keeps trying to return to places from which they have already been banned. I’m certainly quite happy to apologise to Alex if I’ve jumped the gun here in reporting his posts. Would it help if I emailed him and explained why I did so (I have his email address from his profile elsewhere)? The fact that you’re prepared to vouch for him speaks volumes to me. ---

I forgot to add that Alex lists trolling (twice) among his hobbies in his EZboard profile - you might want to convince him to change that. 🙂 ---

**reprise** Not to be presumptuous, but you did know that you posted to **Urban Ranger** and not **Arden Ranger** , right? I noticed that you bolded AR in your post. I have never interacted with **Urban Ranger** , so I am most defninitely not saying anything negative. This was just an observation as I was perusing the threads. Melanie -sticking my nose where it doesn’t belong 🙂 ---

I didn’t do it! I wasn’t even there! ---

This is not how we go about things here. The procedure is plead your case to an administrator via e-mail. This thread is closed. **DrMatrix** - SDMB Moderator
