Account banned/deleted for no reason on Scatbooru...
6 years ago
Update: So after reading another email I got from the Admin. It turns out they somehow linked my IP address to a bunch of other accounts the troll was using at the time, and that's enough for me to be involved in making the problem worse. Despite the other good things I did, like editing tags and uploading scat related art...

Hey, everyone. If you're into scat and are planning on joining the website https://scatbooru.co.uk then I recommend you not doing so.
I logged into my account on there about 3 days ago, only to find out my account was deleted. I tried making another account asking them on their forums what had happened. Assuming, it was an honest mistake. Only to get so much as "lol" as an response.
As a last ditch effort, I tried sending an email to the head admin, and got another short response: "I know who you are".
For some reason, they think I'm a former troll that was plaguing their site several months back. I guess this is the thanks I get for all of the time I spent helping them out by editing tags for them, etc. Tell me, would a troll do that?
The staff on there have obviously gone mad with power now and are deleting people's accounts without any explanation whatsoever. Don't trust these people farther than you can throw them...
I would to love start my own scat themed website and give em some healthy competition, but sadly I'm not much of a programmer or website designer. So I'll leave it at that with this warning to you all.

Looking at your profile it seams like you are active in the community, so you probably just got caught in a net and got your IP mixed up with one of the people who was raiding us at the time or something.
If you hop into the discord server we use as a form, we should be able to get things sorted out. Sorry about this.

If you want to talk about this privately I check my FA account often so you can atleast contact me here.
I don't see any users for https://scatbooru.co.uk/?page=accou.....urriesGoPooPoo so can't do much.
If you let me know what your account was I can un-disable it. Alternatively if you make a new one and let me know your username I can verify you as soon as I get that.
Just to make it clear, I'm the admin and owner. Lets get this sorted out :]
If you dm me on here with your new accounts name I can get your new account reverified :]
I know it's been quite a while, and the whole situation is theoretically resolved, but I feel wrong just leaving this.
When I banned you, scat.booru.org was "under heavy attack" from this lildirkdirk individual. I took it way too seriously at the time, and I was banning anything that seemed remotely suspicious. I don't have the logs for the ban, although if memory serves I believe it was because your username was quite similar to the sockpuppets he was using at the time (very similar format) as well as a similar IP range, and of course your high activity. I should have investigated further, but got too caught up in the "defense" of the site.
I was quite immature back then and there was a sort of smug satisfaction in taking down the attacker alts, hence the weird powertrippy messages. Not to excuse it at all, it was wrong and you are absolutely right that it is not an appropriate way to treat people, and for that I apologise. I didn't handle the situation well as a whole, and I am sorry that I haven't said anything before now.
If you haven't already, please do feel welcome to make an account as per Kat's message and we can get you verified. We have a new admin e-mail address (admin@scatbooru.co.uk) so if you have any questions that's probably the best way to contact us if Discord isn't an option.
