so if any one else gets this then this is what they have done to you and they dont need a reason either so there you go folks and that's the real reason i cant post anything anymore and they even removed my pic how nice of them lol.

You've posted this with illustrations and your avatar that I've just seen and read, so what makes you think you've been banned?

Never known anything like this before.

Members are very rarely banned and when they are their older posts are shown as Banned Member 12345 or some such number.

They won't delete your account as they're not legally obliged to, they also won't delete your posts/images as it messes up the conversations in threads with random missing posts. Like the man said they'll also change you username to something like banned12345. Even if you delete posts they can re-instate them if they choose to.

You can do a GDPR request and make sure there is nothing in any if your posts that counts a PII (personal identifiable information), such as if your name etc. is actually mentioned in posts.

You may be frustrated by this but it seems to be what most forums do these days when someone is banned.

I've been getting weird results on different websites, I suspect it's either my machine or the setting on it rather than anything to be concerned about.

Maybe try a different machine (laptop, mobile, PC, etc) and see if things start working again ?

Hope you get it sorted, you have very different views to me but I appreciate a lot of the stuff you post.

Sometimes old wise words help so remember the saying: "I MAY DISAPPROVE OF WHAT YOU SAY, BUT I WILL DEFEND TO THE DEATH YOUR RIGHT TO SAY IT" ;)

I'll be reporting my own post just so @Admin are aware of this thread ((and can hopefully help or explain things)

There's no evidence that they've blocked you, quite the opposite. Either be patient or message Admin on the link I gave you to check all is well. Clearly your account is still there since you posted on it.

Admin had announced that they were changing the hosting company and that there would be some disruption during that process.

I would bide your time, they may have messed up the data migration and this is causing certain accounts issues, could be 100 reasons TBH wnay you're having isses as they're moving hosting as said.

Visiting that link, I see no posts visible, and this message:

'Hi everyone, this Thursday 29th Sept our hosting company is moving us to a new server. This means Pedelecs will be down for part of the day. Thanks, Russ. Update: We're still waiting for the migration so this may run into Friday 30th.'


Maybe your problem is associated with the server move?
