About a week ago, I found that my regular password at the Acoustic Guitar Forum was no longer accepted. When I tried to do password recovery, my username wasn't recognized. I've spent long minutes scanning the site, and there seems to be no back door, "contact us," or moderator link to ask what's up.
I had no idea that I'd violated any rules. But I didn't expect to be banned several months ago, after I wrote that I'd bought a Canadian guitar because I had doubts about availability and price of NAFTA products. When I questioned the moderator's judgement in public, I was banned for two weeks. During that time, I couldn't respond to posts, and missed a chance to tell another member why his Fifth Avenue pickup was buzzing (a loose velcro-mounted relay inside the soundhole).
Since I signed onto the world wide web ages ago, I can't recall being banned or even ewarned by any other site. The most contrary statement I recall writing on AGF lately is that too dreadnaughts are being sold to novices who can't handle them, which may account for so many on the used market.
Has anyone else gotten crosswise with AGF's moderation policy? Did you find a way to get back in, or did you give up trying?
