Why is Kona0197 been downgraded to only a visitor?

To my knowledge yesterday I was a citzen.

Um, that happened to me once. I had to dump all my cookies (there is a link somewhere for that) and then sign in again.

that link does not work. however I have erased all cookies and still can not log in as a citzen under kona0197.

Have I been downgraded to a visitor on purpose?

hmmmm, there are some cookies that are hard to delete, that is why there is a special link. I think you can find another in the FAQ.

OK I'll look. that still does not answer my second question.

heh... well, I couldn't answer that, but the one I did answer put the question on top again!

I am thinking that they would not demote from citizen to visitor. The only other thing I can think of is a firewall problem. Have you recently adjusted that, or have you added a cookie blocker program?

How's that for wild guessing?

oh, when you dump cookies you have to clear your cache too. sign out, dump cookies, clean internet cache close and open browser and then see what happened.

Kona....not sure what was/has transpired but I set you to 'Citizen' so you should be OK with your kona0197.

If, however, it was altered due to some 'transgression' I'm unaware of then it's possible it may be reset again.

More than likely, though it was just one of those gremlin things....

Thanks Jafo. I owe you one. Just remind me to keep out of others way from now on.

Have any of the admins "warned" you about anything? If so, and you repeated it, they may have done that instead of exiling you. Just a possibility, but I really don't know. You may want to email the admins if it happens again to see what happened instead of posting it publicly. (Public posts get public responses)

Nope. I have only had one warning a long time ago. Next time I will keep it private.
