weebecka:I'd be very grateful for any information you can give me to help me understand why I was banned. I would imagine the main reason was arguing with the moderators publically, and posting private messages from them on the forums without their permission. This is instinctively wrong to anyone used to forums. If you irritate people who have the power to ban you, you won't get banned. WRT PMs, for example, several people have said they've got 'wierd PMs' from you or similar, but no-one has actually published them. The other reason is your habit of identifying people by name and slagging them off (e.g. Janet Johnson, HMI (pseudonym). This opens TES to being sued for libel as a carrier of the libel - and you were definitely libellous (despite your fantasy claim of only writing gentle, human and positive things) Again, this should be obvious to a forum expert. There are forums where you can slag people or companies off, but they are usually located in places out of UK law reach, and are obviously marked as such. The TES T&C forbid it anyway.
