Banned from TSP Center

[MMB1983]

Has this happened to anyone? I logged in Monday and instead of getting the TSP Center homepage, I got a page stating that I had been permanently banned from the board, to contact the board administrator for more info, and that a ban had been issued on my IP address. Has this happened to anyone else? I've been trying to contact admin@tspcenter.com, but several attempts have come back as undeliverable. I also tried the "Contact TSP Center" link but have not heard anything back. After several days of not having success contacting anyone, I created a new account so that I could post this to see if anyone could help me. I've been a long time member of TSP Center and feel this is the best site for TSP advice. I'm certain I have not posted anything that warranted banishment from the site, in fact I post very infrequently. My "banned" username is tappertuba. Does anyone have any advice how I can get reestablished? I hadn't planned any changes to my fantasy TSP account over these few days, but I'd like to have the ability to continue making allocation changes as I recently started following one of the seasonal strategies. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Yes others have had the same problem. There is an ongoing conflict and the perpetrator has done well covering their tracks by including other members. You, alas, are one of them. So far there is no cure.

Hello, I was also banned. So who do I email to get my account, jus10, back?

Care to elaborate on how the perpetrator “included other members”? I got banned and prior to that I had never even made a post!!!

Hackers. I doubt prior posts were necessary. The link evilanne provided covers it all pretty well

I think this hacker is brilliant and their talents are being wasted on this site. I bet they could turn a North Korean missile around and hit the base from which it was launched. That would be outstanding. Nuke 'em 'til they glow.

So looking at the threads evilanne referenced, I did not see how one with a banned account can get it reestablished. My emails to admin were bounced back. There was also a statement that the banned accounts were due to violations of TSPCenter policy. I don't believe I've done that, I've never given out negative reputation points. I suspect I'm just an unlucky target of hackers that have nothing better to do. Is there anyone I can contact to allow me to become "unbanned"?

Apparently not. I had my account and IP banned. Sent messages but to no avail. Now the only was to connect is with my cell phone.

REputaion Points are like Bitcoins and you just mined some.

[gomer]

Thanks for the Rep points cron. But it's a little early in our relationship to be giving gifts don't you think? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate your generosity. But I'd rather not expose our relationship so early in the game. The mods might get the wrong idea.

cron5 you're just trying to make me jealous aren't you? How about throwing some love in my direction too?

[crondanet5]

MMB1983,

The admin email doesn't work. Since you and Nikko71 voiced your concern in the forum, you've been added to the "To Fix" list of accounts we're working on. Thanks for getting in contact with us.
