Title: Why was I banned from the Disqus section? (SOLVED)
Post by: ChazHoosier on June 27, 2016, 11:25:37 AM
I have just been banned from posting on SSSS's Disqus, and I would only like to know why so I can change my behavior.  So far as I know I've tried to be civil and post things relevant to the discussion.

Looking at my log, it seems someone accidentally flagged a post I made as spam.  :'(

Hey Chaz,

sadly we are not in contact with Minna and the forum is not connected to the Disqus section. I hope this matter sorts out well for you. I do not have a clue about how flagging works on disqus but I hope it does get removed as soon as possible.

Oh well, thanks all the same.  I can't find a way to appeal the spam flagging, so I may just be doooooooomed foreeeeeeeever.

Just a wild guess, since more people have had posts flagged and removed rather indiscriminately today (even when they were obviously supportive towards Minna): I think there are new filters in place for certain words, and the posts aren't deleted manually.

Harrumph, it doesn't give me the option to delete the flagged post either.

Maybe you can join some discussions in here for some days as substitute (yes they are not as lively as on disqus) and contact Minna via twitter some days later. When the tension is gone, she might have more time to read messages and look into a solution so you can post on disqus again.

It turns out some jerk is just scrolling down flagging everything I post as spam for no reason at all.   >:(

It could be a discus problem. I know a bunch of Lars's posts got deleted once as "spam". I would send Minna a twitter maybe in a week or so after things have cooled down a bit, and she should be able to let you back in.
