I tried to post in the birthday thread and received this message:

I got the same message earlier. When I rewrote my post with longer sentences and fewer commas it posted with no troubles.

I've seen this dreaded message. As best as I can tell it comes from too many links. (That's what got me autobanned once upon a time).

Whatever you do, don't keep trying. I think its 3 times and the auto-ban kicks in.

That warning came a little to late for chikat I am afraid.

Our fearless leader (Josh) is the only one that can unban someone that the askimet gets its claws into... She will be back shortly ;)

Where's Josh? Chikat doesn't even have a separate email so we could let her know what's happening. I feel so sorry that she got banned. I couldn't imagine what's been going through her head about why she's not unbanned by now. :(

My guess is he did something he rarely does, took the weekend off. I think he will be back Sunday evening.

I could still read everything :) I just couldn't login and post.
I have to admit, when I first got banned I may have screamed... :rolleyes:

I do apologize for the frivolous banning. Akismet gets a little ban-happy sometimes. I'll see if I can change the settings to make it a little less touchy.
