What happened yesterday makes me thankful - very - of the kind moderation that goes on at this forum.

Because when signing on to OCNZ today, strangely, I got the "You are not authorized..." Blah.

I logged out and instantly could access again. Look at a post I've made and to my horror:

Banned

And it was all just for a little mistake. You see, not having read the rules, I did not know that to post in the "Selling" section of the "Flea Market" you needed to be a Senior Member.

Immediately I was told this in my thread trying to sell an innocent Celeron 333, and I apologised and said just disregard the thread. Next day I'm banned. No warnings, no explanantion.

It's kind of sad really.

It was my first DAY on the forum, and I didn't even do anything (deliberately) wrong.

Makes me thankful of the nice Mods we have here :)

George

299877 2004-12-06 02:27:00 Yeah I saw you get banned, But that is what normally happens there.

I dont think it is too unreasonable to expect people to read the rules before making a post.

299881 2004-12-06 02:32:00 I think it would be good if the rules were displayed when you sign up it would make it easier thewhiz (4002)
299882 2004-12-06 02:49:00 Here's your problem. You should have said Celeron 333 overclocked to 3GHz. They would have loved you then :) Dolby Digital (160)
299883 2004-12-06 02:58:00 while I agree that george should have read the rules before posting, it was waaay too unfair to ban him straight away.

pah, they're running vBulletin. they deserve to be shot for that too.

299884 2004-12-06 03:01:00 Well done old son,I had to break the rules,send off an "f" word pvt message to one of the mods,and then tell em what i thought of their forum before i got banned.

Hard case.

Why not do what others do on this forum? This is if you want to go back to Overclockers.

Get a Hotmail address or a different ISP and register under a different user name, Email and password.

Have multiple Email addresses even under the one ISP.

You should read the rules for any forum you want to join.

For the record I have only ever posted here using one Alias but have changed ISPs and Email addresses.
