I would normally have posted this in The Hub, but it doesn't seem to be accepting new posts. There's nothing on the pages to suggest the site is closed, so I have to assume you broke something in the last update. Could you pass this on to whoever's responsible for it, please?
Anyhoo...
My username was reset, and I was sent an email accusing me of breaking one of the following rules:
"Contain website or email addresses
Appear to impersonate someone else
Contain swearwords or other words which may cause offence
Contain no character breaks, so stretch the boards
Break the general messageboard House Rules"
I have returned it to its original state as it clearly does not break any of them - if there's another "Peet" out there I doubt their user number is lower than mine, so if it's failing on the "Impersonation" clause I would suggest the other party is the one doing the impersonating.
This must be about the fifth time that my nickname has been reset without cause. Please train your Mods a little better; I'm beginning to lose my patience.

Hi Peet,
I'm sorry about this. I approved your nickname this morning and I have no idea why the mods keep pulling it. I'll try and find out. But the name looks totally fine to me.

Just had a look at the Hub and was able to post on my user level account, might have been some weirdness with logins earlier perhaps. Could you try again and see if you still have issues with it?

I just went over there and was able to post. But for two days I definitely couldn't. (On more than one thread...)

A thought just occurred! All the previous times I was trying to post there were after 9pm - have you accidentally set the Hub up to close in the evenings? (Or deliberately, but not told anyone...?)

Well, that theory falls down as I notice the last time I tried and failed to post was just after 5pm. Unless you set the Hub to close *really* early...
