That's weird. never heard of ANY moderation on this site before?!?

Yea, I guess I could always just read and learn, even if I can not post.

Or just register under a different name.

something doesn't make sense though. why would they give you a delayed ban? never have I seen a forum where they say you're banned in one month. It just doesn't make sense.

Yea it does not lol. I think it was just a mess up maybe. Everyone else having that delay in between forums?

Given the description of the situation you mentioned, I would say if there is a problem, it has only to do with the user ID your using (or e-mail you registered with). If it were a moderation issue, it would take effect immediately. If it's not a mistake, the forum owners likely made a change to registration rules. As an example they may have blocked any user ID starting with the word "The," in an attempt to keep people from using their website as a user ID (such as "TheHydroponicsShop"), or it may have something to do with the number "1" at the end of your user ID.

I can think of many examples. But the bottom line is I'm 100% sure it has nothing to do with arguing a point, and I'm also 100% sure it has something to do with new registration rules that will take effect on the date given to you, thus somehow affect your forum registration status at that time. The time period is given to make the necessary changes for regular users, and the rest are assumed not regular users (thus blocked, and would need to re-register).

I missed something in your last post,

You asked:
"Everyone else having that delay in between forums?"

Have you tried to clear the cookie's from your computer, and re-logging in?

"Everyone else having that delay in between forums?"

It has happend to others too though in the container garden section I hear.

Thanks though for the explanation Home Hydro.

Is this the type of message you got?

Please note: beginning April 7th, users wishing to post as members must log in. The format "gw:homehydro" will no longer work.

You must log in or supply a valid email address.

If so, that's nothing to worry about. All it means is that for some reason you weren't logged in (cookies got erased/expired etc.). I get those mesages from time to time myself, I never pay attention to the dates given. But one hint is when you log in to member to check mark the little box below the user name and password. Otherwise it logs out before you even post for some reason.

Yup that is what it said. Ok thanks homehydro.
