My other account on here got suspended for reasons I have no idea why :(
I'm going to keep this one anyway now.

as for the wheel.
I recieved our email the other day,

thanking everyone for testing it, and they are letting everyone keep it.

I'm still probably going to sell it,
I got it boxed now, so if anyone wants to know more, email me.

hopefully a Mod also, can tell me the reason why my other account (CooliceT)
as been suspended on here... :/

How long have you been suspended for it was proberbly be a tempory thing and the new account you have just made will also most likely be suspended.
 
yea its only till the 28th but it says its removed my MM access...

and I have been suspended for silly things each time, which I guess... happens.
this will probably get suspended, but I cannot see why due to I'd rather keep this one now, to use with my website/name

is there mods? I could ask why and what reason they suspended me for?
and... its easter :(

where's... the happiness?

Send them a message, but looking at your posts perhaps it was due to you offering an item for sale outside the mm. Pointless posting here asking why tbh and setting up a new account isnt looked on fondly by the powers at be either iirc.

If you have lost MM access on that account as well then it is because of something related to the MM that got you suspended, and creating a new account is only going to make things worse. You should have waited till the suspension was up then asked for a name change on your old account.
 
ah I should have done that NightSt@lk3r ;)

I dont like waiting, and still dont know why my MM access was removed though, and when it happens I have no way of contacting them / or mods who control that area to ask.

I cant read the last post I made... So I dont know if it was something I put or said...

anyway.
I'll best log off... and come back on the 28th, and ask any mods about to seek out a Name change, then they can delete this one.

and just swap the name over.
shame I loose MM access... but its not the end of the world.

I should pop on x-fire and see you Night :P
I keep forgetting to log on it.

have a good easter all. :)
