What's up with FM?

Anybody else having trouble with FM? I can't find a place to log in, and when I click portal it says I've been banned.

Well apparently the mods were told by Fred that I was banned for linking to another B&S forum that doesn't jive with his B&S rules within my for sale posts. Which I wasn't.

Some of the attitudes over there are D/grins best advertising IMO.

Apparently I'm back on with probation or something (I asked Carl, one of the few Mods over there who is a good guy and he said I was banned for the reason I told y'all. I told him I never did that, and I contacted Scott too, and magically my name works again, I suspect probation). Whatever (can we get a ditsy smiley making a W with his hands?).

I'm sure there'll be another explanation, maybe it was just a mistake

.
Mods have been known to make them you know:):

Was no mistake. The best that can be said in Fred's defense is that one of the mods there doesn't like me and gave him some faulty info, but you'd think he'd at least look into it, or issue a warning, or something before banning someone. Also, I doubt it was even this kind of mistake since another mod had to make a case for me, not just say "no this isn't true"

On really busy forums, it's easier to shoot first and ask questions later.
