Edit: Ignore, this issue has been resolved (by me)..
Does anyone have a contact over there that can tell me why in the world my account was suspended? Add to it I can't even ask why, i'm totally blocked from the site. Been simming and on Forums since Compuserve and have never been banned before. Crazy...
Do you use the same nickname there? I just searched for Icer as a member and got zero results...
I'm either registered as Icer or Patricks, more likely Patricks as "Icer" I only use as a callsign in Jet sims nowadays. @BuckeyBob - the issue is I can't do anythingon the site, the base URL comes up "SUSPENDED" and that's it, done, no admittance... Edit: Just tried using Firefox (Brave is my default), on a VPN, and registered as "Icer" using a different email and the registration is waiting approval... maybe once (IF) I get approved I can find out what happened.
I believe CA blocks known spam IP addresses and ranges, and do not like free email addresses much. So it's also possible someone hijacked your email or ISP or email domain to send spam etc.
You don't need access to the site to send them an email. Just send a regular email to the address "webmaster@combatace.com" and they should receive it.

Even when I now try and get on with my NEW Icer account as a guest (which was never approved) on a different browser, different IP just to try and be able to contact someone about this nonsense, IT now shows suspended also.. At this point I just don't care but i'm sending an email anyway just to try and understand WTH is going on. This is the ONLY Forum site I have ever had an issue with, EVER.. It's beyond nuts, it's a FORUM for god's sake, not the CIA's data banks..
Yes, they are perhaps overly strict about account spamming and spoofing over there. I went through a similar process a few years ago when I tried to retrieve my old password. Because my email address had changed, they were unable to reset my password and I had to register under a new account. Until that account was approved, I couldn't access either account. Fortunately, it only took a day or so for them to approve the new one.
Your process may be a bit more complicated, though, due to your use of different IP addresses, etc. (Understandable, however, due to your frustration with their registration policy).

Officially at the "they can keep their site" phase. After being ignored by the "webmaster" for some sort of explanation I decided i've gone about 35 years (Internet use) without CombatAce and i'll somehow survive without it. Thanks for the assistance here, but this thread is closed..
