**Tapu** , the mysterious new poster who showed up immediately after **Umkay** was banned, has now been banned “herself”. What gives? I’m quite curious…I should also say that **Tapu** PM’ed me before she got banned, fwiw.

No connection between the two.

But yes, a duplicate registration.

If a poster is banned without an explanation here in ATMB, you’re supposed to contact an administrator directly through private message or e-mail.

Administrators, last I saw, were **Dexter Haven** and **TubaDiva**.

You can also contact a mod – and **Marley23** and **Gfactor** are also admins.
