Banned from WUS? Did nothing?

Just received a 3 day ban despite doing nothing there since the 18th?
The email has no details, and there’s nothing you can do on the site to access any of your information or to contact anyone.

Wondering if I got hacked or… heck, I don’t know. I posted a watch for sale as I had done multiple times previously (yet not recently) and it looks like that listing is gone. I just can’t imagine what I did wrong with it.

Does anyone know an actual way to seek out recourse? I’ll likely just wait, as the ban lasts less than the average time between my visits to the site. Add it to the list of why I prefer this place, but the historical knowledge there does have value.

That actually happened to me on WUS, too. I contacted admin by email to figure out what happened. Nothing, just some glitch in the system.

How come you can still post here if you are banned?

Did you read the post?

Banned from WUS, not here.

Wait, this isn’t WUS? You mean I’ve been talking with the pretentious assholes on Omega Forum this entire time 🤦
Well, thank goodness I have you fine people here on The Rolex Forums to keep me from the depravity of those crazy Moon huggers.

I mean, you’re completely correct, but the buying/selling section has served me in the past.

I scan Reddit for some pretty pictures, then come here if I have time to see some true variety and learn something technical that I’ll never apply practically. I rarely check WUS anymore.

More just trying to solve a mystery, I suppose.

Fine, I’ll rephrase.

There are some older threads and nuggets of knowledge in the past I’ve found there that I hadn’t found elsewhere. I didn’t mean to imply it’s the best source of historical information.

There are some genuinely valuable parts on the site.

Welcome to the club.

it’s a mark of honor to be banned for no apparent reason. Then when you ask why, you get perma banned.

it’s a story as old as time.

Gotta get some of the fine WUS admins over here along with some of the “If watch brands were car brands…” type threads and get this place back into shape 😁

Favourite WUS threads:

Does this watch make me look fat?

Which watch should I buy for investment?

Please value this watch, so I can buy it, and then sell it to one of you

Why doesn't the Rolex AD take me seriously?



Please, lets see some more

I got kicked off Facebook for 24 hours for going after a troll after the Highland Park shooting. Yea, I was pissed.

I got a permanent ban for calling someone who was arguing that Patek used the 861 movement in their two register chronos a retard.
