Banned until 2284, WTF? Options

[The Flatline]

Your account has been temporarily suspended. This suspension is due to end on Mar 30 2284, 04:39 AM.

Wow. I report a post for baiting, trolling, and abusive profanity and I get banned until 2284? No warning, no message, no letter, no ability to respond, nothing. Just a giant pink banner telling me that I cannot post until I'm 315 years old. And apparently I'm supposed to wait until then before I can even argue it let alone complain about that.

I even tried to create another name with a 2 behind it so I could at least talk to the moderators about why I was banned like that but before I could even send the IM that account was banned, too. So I came up with a different name altogether. I am Dynamo Dave btw and I do feel bad about having to go about this this way.

Anyway, I guess what people say about this forum was right all along. So much for all the bravado in these other threads here about fairness and deliberated moderation over spur of the cuff and over the top reactions. I hope I can at least get this posted before Im instabanned again.

I've wondered about that as well. I assume they gather other information like join date and similarities in passwords and user names, since that's about all they have, but I really don't know. I mean, how else would one guess that TheFlatliner is the same person as AFlatliner?
