Welcome to Ghost town, population me 👻

I’m shadow banned. No bell icons in a week!

😢

I thought I was being shirked by friends or possibly I was going crazy, but actually I was being blocked, and didn’t know, and wasn’t informed.

When I donated to @Edge168n ‘s most excellent charity raffle and he couldn’t see it, I finally realized I was invisible.

Possibly my joke about 18mm thick R. gold deep sea was to edgy? or blocking a no info guy who gave the creeps complained about me? - those are my guesses as to why. Written several letters asking for re instatement this evening.

Anyway… onto this evening: Monday night/ Tuesday morning

It’s 3:45 AM and we’re halfway done 3x coronary bypasses / mitral repair on an emergency case from the Cath lab. Ug. No sleep tonight, but I won’t get tomorrow off. Our short staffed hospital is nuts 🥜

No sleep.

SNR 043 looking slick as usual. Though lately I’m wondering if I should swap to the more blacked out non limited SNR diver. Us nutty collectors.🙄💸🤪😂

Since I think I’m writing to the void, prove me wrong by answering 🍻. If you do and I don’t answer, I did answer but you can’t see it.

Actually, I’m still not sure if my posts are banned, or just my likes/emojis and friendly responses to others posts 👻. So this is a test I guess. 4 am now..

I think that I have been giving 👍's to your WRUW posts, but maybe I am misremembering.

What did you in? Was it an edgy picture of a cherry blossom and a Grand Seiko?

Test answer - thank you for responding @Aurelian !

I made a joke about the 18mm thick gold Rolex, and I blocked a guy who gave me the creeps. Those are my best guesses.

If you read this then it might be lifted? I wrote several friendly help letters today asking why and to please lift the ban

I am not sure that it is a trend, but I have heard two such stories this week about long-time Crunchers receiving complaints from relatively new users and being shadow-banned. After a few days the restrictions come off, sometimes sooner if WC has a person involved.

It is amazing to me that it hasn't happened to me in a long time, even as I get blocked and muted.

You're aliiiiiiive.

I think you made fun of Rolex one too many times. The Ghost of Hans Wilsdorf strikes again.

Repost on my raffle thread! Enter to win that Jack Mason!

As an FYi, you're still not showing in my feed.

I had to navigate to your profile page to find your post.

Wow crazy! Both that you haven't been shadow banned (LOL - kidding!!!) and that a newb can cancel some upstanding member whose contributed "gold" for years.

The dude who freaked me out had no pics, no info, no posts, then suddenly was saving all my old posts. figured I was getting harvested or might be used somehow for nefarious purpose. I didn't know what to do so just wrote a note saying it was bad form and blocked him. That must be it???

I'm so happy to hear a voice! 😊

Yay!! JC! I missed you!!!! (this is not sarcastic, it was so weird getting ghosted)

I think all my posts of the last week won't repopulate.

But just got email from Mod God that I'm back, and for unknown or unsaid reasons "I had triggered the MOD SYSTEM"
