I think I was banned today?

[34DiDi]

Hello,

I can't access the Chat part of the site. I talked to a friend offline and they say I was probably banned.

I wanted first to confirm if I was banned? This happened at around noon Pacific / 3:00 pm ET today (2/27/2025). I was in the Lobby when I was cut off.

If I was banned, I'm not sure why. Is it possible to get an explanation? It was sudden, I didn't get any warning, and I wasn't arguing with anyone at the time. If there is a reason I got banned, I just wanted to see if I could find out what it was.

Finally, I wanted to find out if it's permanent, or if it expires at some point, or if it's possible to appeal.

If it's not a ban, just a technical issue, is it possible to have someone look at my account and see if it can be fixed?

In case you need to contact me offline, my email address is [OK stupid me i didn't realize my email address was going to be public, I took it down]

Many thanks,

Denise ("34DiDi")

Did you post a link in the lobby? That will get you kicked.
But sounds more like a technical snafu. Best to try again later

 

[34DiDi]

No, no link in the lobby. I've been trying to get back on since it happened

 

[Poeticwolf]

Then there's something else going on unrelated to you I think. You can always try to create a different email and profile. I know that is a bit frustrating

 

[34DiDi]

Well, I want to see if I can get this figured out first. I take it you're not a moderator?

Sorry I am not, just trying to help

I am not seeing any logs that you were banned Didi. What can sometimes happen is you are idle in the chat and possibly looking at other websites it will do something we call a shadow boot. or it will kick you out of the chat. Its nothing you did wrong except that lit seems to be the jealous needy type so if you don't pay attention to it it pitches a fit.

Also if you were connecting with a wireless connection (people on phones seem to have this issue the most) it is less stable than a hard wired connection.

Try clearing your cache and cookies, make sure your browser is up to date as well as restart the browser if you can just to make sure the (possible) tracking cookie is gone. I can also suggest testing with another browser if you have one.

But no you are not banned. Sorry for the headache.

Thank you, Sunmaid! I'll try again. Yes, I connect through my phone, so maybe that caused it.

Hi DiDi. Lit's chat rooms are notoriously glitchy when accessed through a phone. You are about the 47,212th person to have issues getting kicked from there. If Sunny says you haven't been banned, you just may be SOL on a phone.

On the plus side, you're one of the few people who start threads like this who isn't a complete moron who actually did get themselves banned from Chat. So yay?

Lol thanks.

Well, I've been doing fine on a phone for the several months I've been here. I've been temporarily "booted" before, but was always been able to get back in. This seems like sonething different.

Thanks, appreciate it.

I believe I have corrected the issue DiDi. Contact me if there are any issues.

 

[SmokingFap]

Lol thanks.

Oh, cool. It looks like Quip was able to fix your issue. So consider yourself lucky and have fun!

Thank you so much, Quip!

Ok so if anyone was following my saga (and I understand if you WEREN'T, lol), the glitch has been resolved and I'm back in Chat.

Thanks to the Mods for getting it squared away, and to everyone else who offered advice.

Have a bitchin' weekend!

Hello,

I have a similar question. I was in chat when someone I was chatting with was suddenly banned. It said nothing about me being banned. But now I can't enter chat. I can log in, but chat won't let me enter. How do I find out if I was banned?

@StephenPNW -- you have been banned. I will send you a PM shortly explaining why.

I am glad its all fixed now thank you for letting us know Didi
