Question for Real-GAF:
I have been participating in the GAF community for years now on the forum, but something strange happened to my account almost a month ago.
For the last four weeks, I have been unable to start threads or send PM's. For whatever reason, my PM maximum quota has been reduced to 50. If I presumably want to send a new PM, I would need to delete over 40 of my old PM's.
Because I couldn't PM any mods to ask why this has happened to my account, I went into a couple of my most frequented threads to ask others for help getting the mods' attention. One mod originally said that he would look into the PM issue (didn't mention looking into why I lost my tread creation privileges), but nothing ever came of it. When I posted in three other threads to ask for help, I ended up getting banned for "whining" about it.
So I was banned for two weeks, and now that I am back I still can't start threads or send PM's.
Has anybody ever heard of this happening? It's kind of like being Junior'ed in that I can't start threads anymore, but why the 50 PM limit? I just don't understand it, and whenever I try to reach out to mods for an answer I'm treated with cold indifference.
