Been trying for a while now to reply to forum threads....kept getting this message:
"Please note that forum posts that promote your own Hub will be deleted and may result in the closing of your HubPages account. Do not start threads for the sole purpose of promotion or posting links. Please use the Forums in the spirit of community! forum rules
Please check the HubPages FAQ before asking HubPages related questions in the forum."
In no way, shape or form have I EVER broken the forum rules! I was nearly panicking because I wasn't even allowed to send a private message to another hubber. There was a really mean message that said 'do not spam, harass, or blahahah.."
OMG...what did I do? Is this a glitch? I'm innocent, I swear!!! Have mercy, please!
Something strange was going on. I had no header or footer on any pages, no ads on my hubs and the top format looked strange. Now it's back to normal. Weird. I couldn't even post on the feed. Nothing worked.
Yep, that's what happened to me. I even tried to send Marisa a private message to see if it was happening to her, and it shot back that mean reply! That's when I freaked....
Take heart - banned forever means you can write hubs rather than play on the forums.
At least I often think I'd be better off that way...
I couldn't even sign in for a while! Glad it's all back to normal.
There is a site wide glitch which is preventing the creation of hubs among others things.
Right!? Back to normal now. All is well with the Universe.
Well, actually, I guess "back to normal" is all I can commit to right now.
Looking for the 'Like' button again. LOL!
OMG, me too. Couldn't sign-in for about 30 minutes! It started at about 8:33pm EST. I sent an email to the hp team at about 8:44p when I realized it wasn't just my pc but my Kindle, too. I decided to go fix dinner, just came back to see that all is well. Then saw this forum. What the ?%@ was that?
Nope, I am still not able to create a hub.....among other things!
Yea, looks like we still have a bug in the HubTool. Follow the discussion here for updates:

Just an idea I'm tossing out there. How about HP declaring on Monday a blanket forum amnesty for all forum-banned Hubbers?I'm saying Monday so that HP has the weekend to mull the idea over.I am not suggesting any changes to forum rules. If HP grants the amnesty, and a Hubber turns around and...

Who here thinks that there is a need for a 100% uncensored forum? A forum that everyone has the freedom to say whatever they want to without having to worry about offending anyone or getting banned. There could be a disclaimer explaining that the forum is 100% uncensored, and if you are...

What is the point of people being banned from the HP forums if they can come back under another name?

You get the impression that people are making little calls to their Hub buddies, besides just posting........ So therefore, people sometimes gang up. In other words heaps of these posts are contrived.Oh and I love how some people write a totally boring Post and then tell others how boring...
