I haven’t posted on LW for a while now, but after posting to LW2.0 I got banned (till 2021) very quickly. My posts were also deleted. I was not told why I was banned, although I assume it was because I entered a fake email (I was annoyed that the new site required an email and not just a username). I asked why I got banned, and received no response.
Well, I’m sorry for using a fake email. I wasn’t trying to spam, or sockpuppet or anything, but I think a 3 year ban without any sort of warning or explanation seems a little excessive. I’m happy to provide an email that works if required. I also considered setting up a new account with a real email, but I don’t want it to seem like I’m sockpuppetting.
Alas, I haven’t been super much on top of support lately, so sorry for not responding.
Sorry for this happening. I mistook you for Eugine_Nier, who was spamposting with a bunch of highly political stuff right at the minute you made your first few comments. It looks like you accidentally posted a comment twice, and the one that you posted twice was one that commented on the relationship between the MTG wheel and Nazism (actually making an OK point, but my pattern match system immediately matched it to Eugine’s other spam comments). That, together with the fact that your email address was a fake email led me to the false belief that you were one of Eugine’s sockpuppets.
I unbanned you, and will try to be more on top of support in the future.
