TOMB banned?!?

crypto79 · January 25, 2014 6:25AM

He always had a rough side but I say bring him back!!

Jokes aside his account really is locked per his email list. Anyone else ever even accidantally banned before?

Catbert · January 25, 2014 6:30AM

I told him that I heard that Heritage rep he enjoyed so much at FUN must now be working for our host!

MGLICKER · January 25, 2014 6:31AM

Maybe he started a charity auction.

keyman64 · January 25, 2014 6:45AM

Huh?

MsMorrisine · January 25, 2014 6:45AM

Not bammed

Bochiman · January 25, 2014 6:45AM

For what, I wonder?
Tom is one of the nicest and I haven't even seen him get controversial.... not with people, on grading, stabbing, etc.....

coindeuce · January 25, 2014 6:51AM

Nice rumor.

Last visited on: January 25, 2014 @ 12:59 p.m.

One would had to have committed a very egregious violation here on a weekend to merit summary bammation.
And many of us would have witnessed the crime.

I can't see it unless I missed something big - he is not controversial in my book. He is a really nice guy and and has helped me with toning.

That scoundrel!

roadrunner · January 25, 2014 7:18AM

The least likely person on this board to ever be considered for banning. Only Bear when he was here with us would have been less likely to be banned.
TomB is at the top of Santa Claus' "nice" list.

If TomB is banned.....then each and every one one of us is at HIGHER risk. Mind your P's and Q's boys and girls.

lkeigwin · January 25, 2014 7:19AM

Not a chance. Tom is as squeaky clean as they come. We'll all be booted long before TomB.

I wanna know!!

Wasn't Bear give a two week "BREAK" of sorts. I have forgotten the details but I think I'm right. It was during a heavy posting streak.

What email list are you referring to Crypto ? If you meant that you aren't able to PM him, there is only one reason for that. I think you can figure that out on your own.

Tom has an email mailing list for when he has updates/new products for sale. I am pretty sure that is what Crypto is referring to.

You inference on being blocked in PMs would mean anything as the person blocked doesn't know it, I believe. Reason I state that is that I have blocked a few whiners/troublemakers and I believe they just think I am ignoring their PMs; rather than just not receiving them.

Also, "Bustcuds" referenced the same info in email, so I would bet money it is an email mailing list that was sent out.

Bochiman, if a member blocks another's PM's, those messages won't show up in the blocked member's PM history. I'll reserve any subjective comment until I get a clarification from John. I don't draw any connection between Tom Bush's customer emailing list and his status here.

coindeuce · January 25, 2014 8:08AM

I've just read the email from Tom that I received as a customer on his email list. Apparently Crypto79 has a valid question, but it would have served the concern better to have explained the circumstance a bit more.
It does appear that Tom is presently blocked from posting or answering PM's, which may very well turn out to be an administrative error. Remain calm. He'll be back in a flash.

MsMorrisine · January 25, 2014 8:09AM

The test is to logout
Then try logging in as the user
The response after the failed login determines if it is a password issue or a bamming issue

Try bammed redllama9109

Try your own with a bad password

Then try TomB

yes. certainly a very rare occurrence.

good memory keyman!

19Lyds · January 25, 2014 9:21AM

Hmmm, Over on Coin Talk, Tom is stating that yes, he can login to the CU Forums, however, he cannot post or reply to anything and instead receives this:

""You have been forbidden to post/reply or edit a message in these forums.""

LOGIN = OK
POST = Sorry
REPLY = Sorry

Ref Thread

It sound to me like perhaps he's been "blocked" but not "banned" for whatever reason.

coindeuce · January 25, 2014 9:42AM

"It sound to me like perhaps he's been "blocked" but not "banned" for whatever reason."

Yeah. Like maybe an administrative error as was noted earlier. No one is likely to get blocked here presently without a prior warning from TPTB. And again, no one is likely to get bammed without some witnesses to the act that precipitated the exile, which usually gets beat like a rented mule before the storm is over.

ldhair · January 25, 2014 9:43AM

So we will still have to put up with Tom?

It may be the IP address or an IP address block may be bammed and he has unfortunately stumbled into one of the banned ips.

He could try a mobile phone, but he'd need to make sure it's on the cell's data network and not his home wifi.
He could also try logging in from a wifi hotspot

Another remote possibility is a bammed email address domain: eg all aol.com might be bammed. Was the email address recently changed in the profile? Edit: or changed isp's recently? Same example: using a bammed aol.com service provider.

coindeuce · January 25, 2014 9:57AM

MsM - if a member changes an email address in their profile that was provided at time of registration, without prior notice to the forum administrator, they will not be able to log in again after that revision unless they obtain a new password directly from the forum admin. I do not see evidence that Tom has changed his email address in his forum profile. And we know that Tom has stated that he can log in, but cannot post or reply...

Earlier today, when sending a PM, I got a blocking security screen telling me to copy two security code words, (anti-spam probably?)

I've never seen that before.

So maybe there's a glitch in some accounts while they change their software? >>

I got that security thing once recently, too. I was pasting in a huge amount of data.

3keepSECRETif2rDEAD · January 25, 2014 10:52AM

...I wonder if a computer hacker maybe had it in for him? It sounds like an IT problem from CU's end...but you never know? Hopefully he get back in the groove of things cause he seemed like an asset of numismatic knowledge for the board.

I believe that a "blocked" or "bammed" IP address would prevent the forums from even coming up.

TomB · January 26, 2014 2:44AM

Well, I'm on the road right now and I can post to the boards and answer Private messages so either the issue was fixed or there may have been a block at some point based upon the IP. When I get home I will log in from my desktop PC and see if I can use the boards again.
