I keep getting errors that say "You are banned!"

I don't think I'm actually banned though?
I hope I'm not banned!
I was really excited about getting the band back together

It just scared me lol bc I sent a PM to dev and he was like "Oh hey good to have you back" and I went to reply and it said "Ur banned lol" and I was like, that doesn't sound like dev!
I thought maybe it's because I'm using tor or something

no, i think it's a weird interaction with our hosting service. it's happened to people who afaik aren't using tor

No worries I figured it out

what did you figure out? i've been trying to figure out the cause of this bug for years so any clue would be helpful

I just meant I figured out that I wasn't really banned lol

yeah it happens from time to time, I've even had it once while logged out
don't worry though, you can actually view the entire banlist and moderation log for all the lilbrds (are we still calling them that?) and there's been like... two bans ever across the entire site?

They're called forums here lol
I think the only forum bans here are jokes. As for sitewide bans, every month or so we have a spammer we have to deal with, and once or twice we had some weirdo come here from raddle or reddit specifically to stir up shit and we nab em.

"getting the banned back together" sounds like a really cursed event for conservatives banned from twitter

it's a bug i've never been able to figure out
gonna do a site upgrade in a little while (probably next week) and that might fix it but who knows
