Have you ever been banned from a site?

I just went to post something on another site. I got a blank page with the words "Access Denied." I have never posted anything rude, obscene or otherwise.
I did post something inviting others to join mylot (referral). Do you suppose somebody in admin of that site thought it was inappropriate enough to ban me? Did they consider that spam?
I wonder.

I haven't been banned from any other sites so f I know ao sites wn't let us avrtise any other ites for people to join. I know we can't post any referral links here at Mylot in our discussions either.
Some sites do consider it to be spam even though other members ask us for our referral links.

You are very welcome. I agree also. I think it is unfair that we get some of our discussions deleted just because someone else spams it. I think they should only delete the spam response only.

I still think it would've been nice for them to delete my post and warn me to not do it again!
Thank you for your comment.

I know for a fact that MyLot will often delete a discussion if the poster outwardly post a referral link to another site especially one that has the potential of earning money, and I guess if a person does it often enough here they could be banned....so no doubt they might have banned you at the other site cause maybe they have stricter rules that the person will be banned for leaving a referral link....but yes I was banned once from a Yahoo group...I actually did a discussion about about my being banned....what was so frustrating was that the other person involved wouldn't let me explain anything

Yahoo and Geocities both (or is Geocities part of yahoo?) are very strict. TOO strict in my humble opinion.
I was banned from having an account at geocities/yahoo.
Makes me love mylot even more!

I just read your referenced discussion. You really got the shaft. It was so wrong! I can understand how angry and hurt you must've been.
We are blessed that you are still here with us. Thank you.
