[QUOTE="Kaleun96, post: 8406586, member: 92635"]One problem with this, and I think it's behind the reason so many other members left who did not participate in the "flag" issue, is that the auto-mod tools here are frequently preventing new members from joining or banning them out-right. This has been well-documented on the forum in the past but the admins aren't exactly forthcoming in what is causing it or how to avoid it from happening. Often the excuse is that technology is magic and no one really can understand it or that the matter can't be discussed for whatever reason because it concerns the "security" of the website. There's always the offer to contact the admin directly but if you've ever asked anyone who's been unable to register due to these issues, they never hear back. Since no one is willing to discuss the issue in detail, and it's either hand-waived away by "server errors happen - you can never know why" or "we can't talk about private matters relating to users", we still have no clue as to what the problem is.
