CVA Friend Banned As Known Spammer

[Knight]

I am posting this question on behave of Tootse, a fairly active member at the CVA forum. Here is the thread where she says she joined this forum on 1-12 and she received a ban message:

The second post on the page

She would like to know why. Would she still be allowed to join? It says that the ban will never be lifted.

Did she use the same name? I'll reverse the ban.

[leo-rcc]

Ban has been lifted.

She was banned because her IP matched that of known spammers. It was evidently a false-positive. I've removed her from the list at http://stopforumspam.com and I send my apologies to her

Thank you! I shall let her know now.

I like that this forum has a solid system in place. Though no system is perfect, I commend this forum for its "cleanliness."

At the same time, I wonder if other people end up having this problem? With so many users who register, I realize it is impractical, if not impossible, to distinguish from spammers and actual potential members/contributors.

Could you send a message back to blocked users as a double check?

Good. The system works.

Toots is good people.
