This is starting to sound suspiciously like a problem with UB's time machine!  It's no longer "Where am I?" but is now "When am I?" 

i still think it has something to do with the good doktor suddenly appearing, as mentioned in my first post in this thread, i mean we all know they got on like a house on fire , and dear old alex did have a special knack for  getting under ones skin, mix all that with the good doktors post only existing now in quoted form, and mr stummers, well, 'special way of communicating'. it all happened around the same time, coincidence?

Time to make the forums great again?? Maybe build a firewall between the mods and the rest of the users?? Get Cake to pay for it?? Send a drone to "talk some sense" into Straummy?? The options seem limitless. Or not.

I wonder if England has a penalty for a drone abuse?

I'm suspicious that Strummy got ephed over

That's exactly what I was thinking...

If he hasn't done something to deserve this, I'm sure one of the "hosts" like Wookie or Bit will fix it soon.........of course, it's already been a couple of days since Mr. Strummie has been given the boot.....

Staummy confirmed to me that he is NOT CakeAlex.
 
Now as far as Clarissa......... J/K.
 
AFAIK Straummy has only two logins and AFAIK Finnie McFinnigan (or whatevs that ID is) is NOT him.

Got an email from him this morning and he can't log in from ANY device, nor can he even see the forums except from one device that's using a different IP range.
 
It seems to me that his normal IP range has been completely blocked, but he hasn't had ANYONE contact him with a reason or to try and help get the ban removed.
 
Can any of the Mods please ask a Baker to look into this?  
 
A complete (and, as far as he knows, permanent) ban without reason is flat out wrong and certainly not warranted from anything I have seen.

I had told the other hosts that I was not going to get involved with this thread, but I guess I will.
 
First of all, it was not a host who banned him, it was cake.
second of all, according to cake, he was told why he was banned, but of course cakewalk email could always be sent to a junk mail folder.
third - according to an email that I got from one of the bakers, he was only banned for a week and the reason on the ban was:   "multiple complaints RE: penis talk. 1 week ban" 
 
cake doesn't really need to explain themselves to anyone other than the one who was banned, and really they don't have to do that either.
 
it's not fair to demand answers from hosts on the actions of cake employees.  I only shared this because of all of the speculation and because some of you have said you were in contact with him and he didn't know why he was banned.
 
his ban should be up pretty soon, I don't know the exact date he was banned and we don't have access to his member information to find out.
 
 

Thanks for the update Beegs......I think most of us just spoke out thinking he was being banned without cause.
