Hi just logged in to check for news posts to be greeted with In accordance with section 25(a) of the proboards terms of service, this forum has been taken offline.This afternoon I wasn't aware of any issues.i can see from the tab TOS deletion

What's happened/happening ?

It then said I have been banned from this forum after posting this..proxy servers do have there uses allowing me to edit post ?

@dayshaddow, please direct your inquiry to [e-mail] as the Abuse Department handles all deletions.

You need to email the abuse department. Support staff are unable to help you with this issue.

Oh I just put that into Google.. might explain why it's not working

Same thing had happened to my forum, I messaged them and had no luck getting it back. Once the abuse department takes it offline, it's not coming back. Mine has been gone for a few months. The abuse department takes them offline from reports from other members/guests. They had a case against my forum. Which is likely the same thing tht happened to yours.

My question is, although I understand they half to do this,shouldn't we at least get a warning?

In most cases a warning is issued in the event that a forum contains offending content. However, if the forum is centered entirely around subject matter that violates our Terms of Service or Community Guidelines that may warrant taking the forum offline immediately without a warning.

This is not a true statement.  There are forums that have been taken offline and have been restored by Abuse once the matter is resolved.


And like Brian stated, unless it's a situation that requires an immediate take down, warnings are sent to the 'admin' account of the forum, generally by PM. It is the forum owner's responsibility to monitor not only the forum, but their admin account.


OP has been advised more than once to email the Abuse Department at [e-mail]   Am locking this thread now as this matter is between the OP and the Abuse Department.
