I have 10 posts on the forum, and by the time my account got limited, I have no posts deleted by anyone.
Why was my account limited without any notice?
PS : I did nothing wrong on the forum.
This is my account : http://www.cplusplus.com/user/comaHelp/
Edit : I made this post an hour ago and someone just deleted it. This forum is funny...
Edit2 : This is the fact I helped someone.

There's at least one user who basically reports posts at random, to be disruptive. If a user with a low post count has any of their posts reported, they'll generally be banned instantly. If you contact the administrator and explain what happened he'll probably reinstate your account.

Thank you.
What are the ways to contact the administrator?
Really? Did you not read the notice at the top of the link you posted to your account? The bit that says 'If you believe this to be an error, please use our Contact form' and the link that is there?
P.S. Welcome to the club of Random Acts of Administration, best advice keep your head down until you get a good post count unfortunately that means keeping out of the lounge as that seems to be a magnet for random reporting.
P.P.S Forgive my sarcasm. It has been a crap start to the day, waking up to the US election result.
As you can see, I did nothing wrong. Could you please reinstate my account? I would appreciate it.
I just have about 10 posts and I did help some certain person already. I believe my account getting limited is an error therefore I want to consult you about it.
My account is http://www.cplusplus.com/user/comaHelp/
Any response from you is highly appreciated.
I will be awaiting a response from the administrator soon.
I suspect your account was "limited" because you keep making new ones every time your current one gets "limited." SakurasouBusters and Boxbird and all of your previous "limited" accounts.
I don't think you have been banned - I think there are some problems with the forum set-up or web service, perhaps.
I have "lost" previous accounts - "limited" like yours - even though my posts were perfectly innocent (and, in some cases, hadn't even posted). I have tried the "contact administrator" route, but I suspect they don't even get to him.
What I have found, however, is that sometimes (usually after a long period logged in but with no activity) I am timed out and then invited to login again with a full-page screen, different from the normal tiny login box. The next day ... my account is limited and effectively unusable. So I now ignore this strange log-in page, close the relevant browser tab, and reload the c++ pages in a new tab. I can login normally and suffer no more restrictions.
I hope that the forum security hasn't been compromised. I've enjoyed participating in and learning from it, but there are a few foibles occurring with its web-service.
You were banned as SakurasouBusters for spamming/trolling. Since then, you have come back under numerous new usernames:
- BoxBird
- Brigavo
- Many in between I can't even remember
- Elantra
- and many others
Most recently you are under the name Hantago (which I presume will be banned pretty soon)
All of these were banned within a couple days because it is quite obvious that it is the same person trying to work around the ban.
Take a hint and just wait out your ban instead of making 30 new accounts...

You're assuming the troll wants to come back and contribute in good faith. He has more than proved that this is never going to happen. For some reason, he has an obsession with trolling this forum, and there's no reason to think he's going to stop any time soon.
My thanks to the admin, and anyone else involved, for stepping up the vigilance and identifying and banning his accounts.
