Have you ever heard the saying "making mountains out of molehills." this is what this situation was. Some people had trouble logging in after we upgraded our software. The default message was "banned" instead of "error" or "contact support" (now it's changed)

Most people contacted us and were like "hey why was i banned?" and we fixed it immediately and they understood it was just a login issue. Other people ran to GFY and other boards attacking us THEN contacting us and THEN realizing it was an error and they were then allowed to login.

This whole issue affected under 15 people, no matter how many "posts" by people involved and mainly people not involved posting. I have seen some of the craziest shit in the last week in regards to this then i have in the last 7 years on these boards. Crazy theories from people I thought possessed intelligence, everything from us stealing money to using the patriot act to deal with foreign affiliates (insane). At the end of the day it was login issue that affected very few people and it was blown out of proportion.
