I just got banned again. :eek: :eek:

I posted a competition from The Staffordshire Living website that went through fine, but when I tried to post the second one, I got the message 'Unable To Post', and then I got banned. :eek: :eek:

    Make your own Pot Noodles using a flower pot, sawdust and some old shoe laces. Pour in boiling water, stir then allow to stand for two minutes before taking one mouthful, and throwing away. Just like the real thing!

    I think I got banned, wasn't sure if it had to do with the pet comp I posted earlier, or a link to my blog.. glad it seems to be just a glitch!

    I've been 'banned' a few times recently when trying to post Starburst comps. I've found that MSE doesn't seem to like code embedded in the site, and it works fine if I don't cut and paste.

    Weirdly, I also just tried to log in, was told I'd entered the wrong password and had used up all my log in attempts. As I hadn't used 'em, I'd only tried logging in the once, I tried logging in again immediately rather than waiting the required 15 minutes and was logged on fine.

    I was banned for trying to post one sentence, no links just a comment on another post.
    Don't put it down, put it away - thanks Valli

    Thank you to all who post competitions & help the smooth running of the comps board

    Mse Andrea gave me this advice:

    If you get any more problems or hear of anyone else having them can you get them to email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com including your username? That should be the best way to get it sorted the quickest.

    If you keep that email saved then if you can't get back in they can deal with it x

    Because of Spam bots they put in new measures and us mere compers have been caught up in the banning of the bots.
