I have NO IDEA what "psychedelic insultment" is, but I'm clearly a victim of it!

I've done it accidentally, by banning my test account. I used the same PC I use for the admin account, and for some stupid reason, it failed to dawn on me that if I ban the test account's IP, that would affect the admin IP as well! LOL. I had to use my mobile browser to fix it.

As for doing so on purpose (like an unhappy co-admin?) I sure hope not!

Hi,

You can't ban the head admin account. If, however, say, you are the main admin, and your IP is in the ban list, then you will get the ban message, but that is not the head admin account being banned, that is an IP being banned.

They would need to access the forum from another computer on a different internet connection or change their IP address, but yes, they can still undo the ban. Additionally they could post here on ProBoards Support and a ProBoards Admin could unban them.
