[Louisa]

I would just like to raise with the powers that be (and anyone else on the forum with an interest), that DulwichFox has directly contacted me and informed me that he is now no longer allowed to post on the forum and appears to have some sort of 'ban' or 'restriction' on his account and would like to know why.

He has told me that no confirmation from the administrator was given about any breaking of the terms on here but he seems certain (from what he has told me), that his account is now 'inactive'. Could someone please contact him or let the rest of us all know what's going on please? I think Foxy is a little concerned so on his behalf could you please let him know what's happening. Thanks.

On behalf of DulwichFox.

Louisa.

Admim posted yesterday that nothing of his has been deleted. His account isn't inactive. Just click on his name on any post of his.

[Administrator]

You or he could have PM'd me directly rather than a public notice but I guess it's more theatrical this way. Please PM me the details and we'll look into it, if his account has been compromised then it may have been locked down but we can unlock it from here.

[Seabag]

Oh heavens, really

Let's send a special envoy to mop Fox's brow as he's pacing the lobby of his hotel, whilst wring his hands at his non existent 'ban'

Surely he's fallen down an internet wormhole in #LowTechTurkey

I say leave him to sweat it out, it's kinder. Plus I even made a sugestion of a 'Posting whilst on holiday thread' so we're hardly being mean to him. Maybe he's just loosing his marbles somewhat, or all that sun and Effes has baked his brain

FOOK the Greek Referendum this is......Zzzzzzzzzzzz

[se22cat]

I always assumed Louisa and Foxy were one and the same user.

Louisa,

I've been in contact with Foxy too, but did I feel the need to start a thread about this? No.

If he'd wanted me to report it to admin, I would have. In private.

Starting new threads, drawing more attention is really not a good idea.

And it's not done Foxy any favours either. Just another p*ss taking thread available.

[Louisa]

I specifically asked foxy if he wanted me to raise it on the forum and he said yes please do. I take your point this may lead to further mocking and scoffing, but it's important that we are all made aware of it so we can resolve the issue.

Louisa.

Something not working? Immediately assume a conspiracy then make a public song and dance about it.

LOL.

'but it's important that we are all made aware of it so we can resolve the issue.'

Why? Does this mean that we'll have a new thread every time there's a technical glitch with someone's account?

[red devil]

FOR FOX SAKE!...when will this self-obsessed, egotistical, look-at-me narcissism ever end?

*Checks hair in mirror...*

[aquarius moon]

Well done Louisa.

I rest my case.

[Louisa]

From what the fox has told me, I think he is somewhat concerned that he may have had his account deactivated and had not been informed of it, just quietly chucked off the forum. But admin has confirmed that isn't the case and will no doubt look into why he cannot access the forum. The fox and I have every right to be slightly suspicious. The number of troll like characters lurking on the forum who don't get banned when true ED'ers like us end up being pulled up on mild things regularly. It leads to all sorts going through your head.

Just for the record I created this thread so that others could possibly help with why he couldn't log onto his account, it was not some sort of conspiracy theory reaction, as much as you'd all love that.

Louisa.

Well I posted here a friendly update.

It was almost immediately removed.

Admin. I'm sure your watching . Am I banned. Why are my inoffensive posts being removed.

Please advise what the situation is ?

There is obviously one Moderat?r doing this just because they can,

Posted by Administrator Yesterday, 08:32PM

Nothing has been removed/deleted from this thread

FGS so if you'd both been reading the forum as avidly as you claim to be, you'd have spotted this swift response from admin in answer to the stupendous question of whether you'd been banned or not.

Now today we have this!! Enough to put us all off our kebabs & Efes. Look at ME, its all about ME, ME, ME... as for you Louisa you knew it would come to this, as AQ rightly predicted.

[Loz]

My guess is, considering Foxy is currently in a foreign country posting from public internet connections, some sort of anti-spam unusual-activity detector has kicked in.

Nothing to see here folks.

Smells like a CloudFlare problem.

"true ED'ers like us" - seriously?

If by "troll like" characters, you mean people who don't agree with everything you post and get a bit bored by the constant slagging off of everyone who hasn't lived here for the amount of time you feel is acceptable [what is that again? 7 years? 10 years? 15 years?] and everything that has grown up in ED during that time, then yes - there are a quite a few people who feel like that out there. And as for "true ED'ers" - well I have not the words and will avoid making the comment I would have done so this thread doesn't leap to Godwin's law in its first page.

[jacks09]

How long until you are classed as a true ed'er? Is it the same as the Visa rules where you can apply for one after 3 years continuous residence?

I love the thought of the #TurkishSpamFilter seeing Fox's posts and binning them

I wonder what it's called

#TrojanElephant maybe?

[LooseChippings]

Just to clear up a few things.

LooseChippings is an account I set up for a proposed photographic business

Unfortunately due to illness and the death of my mother this didn't go ahead,

This DulwichFox.

As you can see I can log in and post as LC but not as DF.

As both accounts would probably share the same IP it's strange that one works and one doesn't.

I come to the conclusion that DF has been manually deactivated and it

Not cloud flare or Turkish networks

[Administrator]

To be clear, your account is still active http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/profile.php?20,20317 but for some reason you cannot login. We reset your password earlier and you should have received an email telling you so, did that not work?

[LooseChippings]

Hello admin thank you . But I have not recieved an email.
