this is the user id of our captain,he has been banned unnecesserily from the hwbot,there were no illegal submission!

can any one help our team captain to be back here?

Sumon is getting pretty nervous, I hope its a mistake???? He is learning the tricks of trade and is pretty enthusiastic about overclocking, so I hope any decision hwbot/mods makes is not in haste.......

There's a bug where some people who report scores are 'banned'. It's not a real ban as no points are missing, but just a ban indicator.

It's scheduled for fixing. I also unbanned him.

this has happened to me too... two times when I used the report

It took a couple of days to recalculate all my points

Hmm.

 

Maybe there's another variable. Maybe type of selected report or so.

Apparently, most of the bans were awarded because the report had an url in it. One of the ways to detect a spambot is checking for URLs.
