Hi AGAIN.. (banned twice for "spamming..?!")

Post by LocalBDG »

Hi. I'm local_boydidgood on youtube. (just saying that to lend credit to why I'm here. I help people with their gelcoat, have since 2011 there.

I was asked here by members 3 times. This is my last attempt to help here.

I was recently banned and with no way after that to appeal and send a message to an administrator.. Here I am again on a different email address.

If you have gelcoat polishing or general detailing questions, I designed the buffer I use and actually care.

I don't think you were banned - we require the first couple posts to be approved before they're posted to keep from being destroyed by spam bots who flood dozens of posts before being caught.

In other words, if you make a new profile and make a bunch of posts, it will hold your posts for approval until an administrator OK's your account, which often takes a day or so .

Edit - I checked your previous account too, and both seem to be active and operational.

I wish that were the case. "banned" twice for "spamming." With no way (even though there's an option shown to contact an admin) Nope, it goes nowhere if you're banned already.

Odd that you see the other accounts as operating.. If I try and log in, "banned"

As to the "spamming" I suppose leaving the link to my YouTube channel in my post was..? But..

Oh well, glad it's fixed? Thanks for say'n HI and trying to get some logic into it

Welcome back for the second time (or was it three?) !!

Sorry for all the hassles and tribulations.

I’m glad you finally made it over here. It seems the forum traffic is reduced from years past. For some unfathomable reason, the Cobalt Facebook group is getting tons and tons of posts everyday. Go figure.
