Ask The Guy Who Was Banned For An Hour!

[Ilsa_Lund]

When are you going to get back to your 100 favorite movies threads? Last I heard, you had 97 more to go.

Ah, I’m doing mainly Hitchcocks. The 100 was too daunting. Any other random movies I like may also be subject to discussion.

I was gone for a week on vacation. What were the circumstances of your banning/reinstatement?

That is not the point of this thread. Search my posts for a week or two.

**I’ve wondered what happens when you try to log in and find you’ve been banned. What message do you get? What does the screen look like? Did you get a screen shot?

I’ve wondered all this in a purely academic sense, I should stress… **

I think the screen looks the same as when you’re not logged in, don’t realize it, and try to post anyhow.

You are not logged in or you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. You are not logged in. Fill in the form at the bottom of this page and try again.
2. You do not have permission to access the page that you were trying to. Are you trying to edit someone else’s post or trying to access administrative features? Check that you are allowed to perform this action in the Forum Rules.
3. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

**Dan, I wasn’t necessarily speaking of your comment that joke threads belong in this forum - that’s correct and unassailable; it’s also good advice I have no objections to members offering advice on where certain types of threads are best placed. It was more that you seemed to be giving an imprimatur of approval over this specific thread; the first portion of your statment. It is entirely possible that this be a joke thread and it still not be “okay.” In that case, the forum in which it properly belongs, would be of no import.

I’m sorry if I read more into your words than was intended. **

You’re right. My words were not chosen carefully enough.

I approve of the idea of this thread for my own personal tastes. I find it amusing and an excellent way to spin a negative situation positively.

While I’ve never been banned (Looks around), when I first joined I could only post at work. My IP was ‘banned’ or on someones bad list.

This didn’t change until I changed ISP’s. Different IP address, you see.

Forgot to add, I got what F_X said.
