Something very weird is happening - both Progmom and sundog got banned.

[JimmyJazz]

They did nothing abnormal but triggered the spam guard. I know this will probably be locked, but I'm not going to post any more after this, just in case it's some weird glitch.

1. That IS weird...

Something seems to be going on with the servers tonight... here's hoping it clears up by tomorrow. Now donning tin-foil-hat, for good measure ;) :tinfoilhat:

[bridgit]

20. servers everywhere it would seem...

a quick check on the profiles of they having prob's including me indicates issues across the country :shrug: been that way here for the last 2hrs...

[SeveneightyWhoa]

2. Oh em gee!

Anyone else think it may have been the CIA?

P.S. Avoid fluoridated water -- at all costs!

[realisticphish]

3. this happened the other day

skinner mentioned it, but i thought they fixed it

[Longgrain]

4. Get a chat room...

That's all I'm saying.

[progmom]

10. erm.

How do you think she knew I had activated the spam filter?

[Longgrain]

11. Just guessing.

[SmileyBoy]

5. I once activated the spam guard.

I had to send an e-mail to Skinner to get back online.

[SarahB]

6. That happened to me a few days ago.

It cleared up in about a 1/2 hour.

[LeftCoast]

7. Wierd. Not even a tombstone?

I'm confused. Hope they didn't get banned. I liked reading their posts.

[progmom]

8. Wow - that sucked!

x(

[intheflow]

13. What happened?

I'm totallly confused!

[JimmyJazz]

16. She triggered the spam guard and was temporarily banned.

But, claims *cough* *cough* she didn't do anything to trigger it.

[intheflow]

25. Are you speading disinformation, JJ?

:P Just kidding. It was probably related to the problems that other on DU seemed to have (myself included) accessing the site during the last hour.

I hate to think what triggered it. Karl Rove? You out there? :hide:

[progmom]

17. i have no idea

I went to respond to sundog and got this message:

Your post triggered DU's automatic spam guard. The system is automatically turning off your account. If this happened in error, please email [e-mail] to have your account reinstated.

[BikeWriter]

24. Hey, that's what you get for being such a hot Mom!

The carrier can't take it that hot!

[intheflow]

27. Well thank God you came back safe!

DU would be bereft without you, Progmom. :hug:

[Huckebein the Raven]

19. Glad you're back

Can't lose my music advisor now can I ?

;)

[FuzzySlippers]

9. All I can say is:

Good riddance to bad rubbish. :P Just kidding! You know I love you both!

[progmom]

12. oh no you didn't!

:wow:

[JimmyJazz]

15. Erm- look aver your head - she's back!

I think she may be able to see this, too. NEENER, NEENER - you're in trouble now! hahahahaha - It's no fun being Skinner's favorite if progmom is angry with you!

Do you want to come live with me now? Oh, but you WILL have to watch Survivor! :P

[FuzzySlippers]

23. I think I just better

:hide:

[Ellen Forradalom]

14. Too much darned flirting

will get you deep-sixed every time. Tsk, tsk.

[khashka]

18. I think KitchenWitch also got slammed

At least I know of a thread she and I -just us -posted to that got deleted. Nothing even remotely offensive. She doesn't do that sort of thing and I was on my best behaviour and wham! end of story. She isn't banned but a perfectly innocent thread got deleted for no good reason.

Something weird is going on. Some sort of glitch. As cynical as I am I can't believe all the moderators freaked out at once.

And banning progmom? That's just beyond ridiculous.

Khash.

[JimmyJazz]

21. they didn't ban her - the message she received was that

she triggered the spam guard - but she's back as is sundog :bounce:

[texas1928]

22. Like I said before.

Nothing but a bunch of rabble rowsers.

[sundog]

26. f.u.

:P

:hi:

[texas1928]

28. back at you.

:P

[Anarcho-Socialist]

29. I never trusted progmom all along...

EDIT: Oh, yay... she's back. I'm glad really

:P
