I'm sure lots of kittens now need rehoming!

I hope we will get an explanation in due course. Not a technical one but: eg glitch, cock-up, software update borked, admin ticked the wrong box ...

Same for me! I was so shocked to see that message, trying to think of what I may have done to be banned!! It now is OK and I think it must have been a glitch with their system/server or that the site had been hacked.

I'm a Mod on another adult group and we had a hack take place that almost ended up banning every person registered there.

Looks like a glitch of some sort, if I find out what it was, I'll let you know.

I have 2 notifications. They are from 2 different people and have almost identical headings like "open this, I have something for you". Are other people seeing the same thing?

I had one like that before being "banned" this morning. I reported it, again before the 'banning'.

Sheesh, never that coming! Looks like the glitch has been straightened out. Now, back to the honey lambs!

Yes, I had two such messages a couple of days ago. I deleted them without opening them. I still saw the "You are banned ...".

Assuming the messages were Trojans then perhaps one of the mods was tricked. Or enough users were tricked. Or there were so many it became necessary to shut the site down to do a cleanup and "banning everyone" was the easiest way. Utterly wild guesses on my part - not in keeping with my picture!

I did not open

It makes you realise how spoiled we are here with the lack of adverts, pop-ups and general crap and the feeling that OCC is different. I'm glad I found this on a random afternoon login rather than my usual early morning login with a coffee. That may have been too much! Lets hope we are back to normal now?
