Traxxas Forum...wtf?

[BP-Revo]

So I went to visit the Traxxas forum to check PM's, and the link to it is gone...

I try a different shortcut and it says I don't have permission yada yada..

And apparently I can't post either - all I can do is navigate the forums.

Also, my status or what not below my name (on the Traxxas forum, it is based off post count), which usually reads RC Turnbuckle Jr. (anyone with 2500+ posts or something like that) just reads "registered user."

Last time I got banned whenever I logged in I was completely blocked out of the forum (used a bit too many "foul" words last time - apparently "crap" is foul).

But this time I didn't do squat! I only posted like 3 things in the last month, and I knew for a fact they didn't have anything the warranted a ban.

What he hell gives, is Traxxas randomly banning long time users? 3900+ posts and 3+ years. I sent them an email, those @ssholes better re-activate my account or I'll never buy a Traxxas truck again.

I just went back to check and my account is the same way, oh well.

[snellemin]

Ditto on mine.

A) I would not really let it get to you, it's the Traxxas Forum after all
B) Most likely it's a glitch, it happens on there all the time
C) Most people over 13 don't care about the titles and post counts anyway, there are many on there with very high post counts who are total doofs
D) I basically stopped posting there but it will in no way affect my decision to buy TRX or not, they make good product and the CS is some of the best around, sure they have their flaws but so does every major RC manufacurer

I've switched to barely skimming the traxxas forums, and only for specific problems.

The new Losi forums seem good so far, will be interesting to see if they turn into the TRX forums eventually.

Mine was banned too. I only go there when there is not much traffic going on here or UE.

Mine's still ok (so far). Almost looks like they are categorically banning all RCM members.

[Modding_out]

Mine still works, if they are banning rcm members I guarantee coolio's behind it some how On another note, I've seriously thought about being the model citizen long enough to be a mod, then permanently ban that a hole, I would be like

I got banned also for having 2 login names. How do they know its not my son who is loging in with his own name. So I just deleted all my cookies and started a new name with a different email adress. still works fine. They are way too strict over there I recieved 20% warning points for saying ass.

[BrianG]

lol, I got 20% warning points for saying "crap". And then, a couple days later, that same word is being said with no points. Not consistent at all. Then again, they can run their forum how they want; one of the benefits of paying the server bill.

[Rivermaxx]

Yea, I noticed the same thing its like they are picking out certain people and letting others get away with it.

[Kcaz25]

I had the same exact experience, I got fairly offended and asked Mishbehavin', what gives? Turns out I got banned automaticly because they instated some kind of forum logic law that kicked me off because my email provider(hotmail.com) was free(and I supposed that also means possible unprotected IDK) anyway I got them to straighten it out while also keeping my email adress.

What email providers do you guys use?

[BrianG]

I use my ISP email (mediacom). Funny too because the only time I use it is for registering at places that don't allow the free services. I don't even know if I have the password anymore.
