We do not lock accounts due to difference of opinions on this forum unless you violate HW rules,you may find those at the top of your page and I suggest every new member read them and old members check periodically for new additions or changes.
Jim I apologize for the mistake as Im sure thats what it was. Peters been away for a bit and we have some new moderators as well as all old mods now have the ability to ban someone and thats strictly to be used for spammers but the ban icon on our screens right next to the edit and delete a post icon and it requires no double click. Hit it by accident and you have banned a member. Peter is immediately notified and your accounts unlocked. I believe he emailed me last week about yours and said he had unlocked it? Anyway we think it happened when you had a double post in a thread and someone attempted to delete one at the same time you were doing it yourself and you got caught in the middle and accidently banned.
Its wise to keep a mod or members email addy in your personal email off forum and should you find you cant log in email them so someone can check.
Glad your back!!
