I was banned from the forums. Help?

I guess this is a forum bug post. I was banned for ‘spam’. I did a quick search, and see that this has happened to a few people over the past couple of months.

I’ve heard the spam filter can result in “false positives” which mean the wrong people gets banned, not sure how true it is but it seems plausible.

Hi Mafiabasheth,

I’m sorry for this happening. I’ve passed this along to my lead to look into. We’ll be in contact soon.

Hi

We sincerely apologize for this mistake. The ban has been lifted, however you may find that your previous forum posts are still gone. This is an unfortunate side-effect of the ban.

To make amends, I have contacted our Player Experience team to you 1 free month of Unreal Engine access. This may take a few moments to appear on your account. If you have any questions about the particulars of this, please reach out to .

Sorry again, and we hope you have a productive month with UE4.

Thank you,

Hello Mafibasheth,

My deepest apologies that this happened to you. Please feel free to contact me at dot Oliver at EpicGames dot com if you have any concern or there is anything I can do for you.

Paul
