A few quick questions

Hey, I’ve got a couple of questions for the mod team.

1. Why can't I get into the ban corner? Every single time I've been banned in the past, I haven't been able to access it, and it's the same story now—I'm totally locked out. I can't even type a single thing in there. Could you guys take a look and see what's going on? Also, if you could just double-check and maybe reactivate that feature for me, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

2. Can someone clarify exactly why and for how long Sky7 was banned over on the CDC site?

Please look into what's going on, and while you're at it, I'd request that this feature be enabled—or rather, re-enabled—just in case. Thanks in advance.

Look, if you aren't currently banned, you can't post in the ban corner. That's the rule for everyone except the moderators, super-mods, and Admins. Everyone else, as I've already stated, is locked out.

But my point is, I can't actually post *while* I'm under a ban. That's what I was getting at. Technically, when you're serving a ban, you should still be able to access the ban corner to talk about it, but I haven't been able to get in once. Something definitely feels broken here. That’s why I asked for someone to look into this and fix the functionality so we can actually use it.

Are you saying it’s actually impossible for you to open the KZB?
What specific error message are you getting?

I'm guessing it just comes down to his appeals being rude or whatever... since he keeps claiming "it's impossible to post anything."

Like people have already said a few times now—you can't just post automatically on KZB anymore, because every appeal has to be approved first. Any civilized, decent appeal gets through without an issue...

To’s not quite right; you can certainly type it out, but nothing actually goes live until the moderators give it the green light. That's explicitly stated in the KZB guidelines.

He’s talking about something else entirely—claiming he can’t post, can’t open anything, or lacks access altogether... 🤷

What kind of error message are you getting?

I can pull the page up, but I'm totally locked out from actually typing or leaving comments.

The message popping up is basically the same thing as before (just without the actual ban notice):

you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Man, I had no idea you couldn't just jump in and post right away and that you had to wait for an approval on the appeal first.

To be fair though, my very first appeal about two months ago—back when I got that two-week ban—was definitely pretty rude (the reason for the ban really set me off). My bad on that one.

Got it now, though. In the event of a ban, I need to 'submit a request' to get back into the ban corner. Thanks for the heads-up.

p.s. I'd still love an answer to my other question if anyone has a sec

There isn't any formal requirement here. If you want your post to see the light of day, just submit a civil appeal.
Regarding your other question, you aren't going to get an answer from me; only female forum members can receive clarification if there's any confusion regarding a ban.

As for your other question, you won't get an answer here—only the user who was actually banned can get clarification if there's any confusion regarding their account status.

Gotcha. Thanks for letting me know!
