Registering For "b/ Post" Forum

Over the past month I have tried 3 time to register for the bangkok post forum , First time , I filled out the registration successfully, and got an on screen message telling me I would receive an email granting access, NO EMAIL , ? Second time I used another email address, same as the first time , my registration was completed and accepted and again I was told an email would be sent, again NO EMAIL , the third time was this week , I used my third email address and again was successfull re: registration and DID receive the email granting me access to the forum as a member , But lo and behold , when I tried to log on yesterday morning There was an on screen message that said: this name is permanently banned ???? what t. f. is that all about ??? Anyway after such crappy service , I don`t even want to partake of that forum any longer , I am quite happy reading and posting on this one which has been very simple to register and use . Has anyone else had this absurd happening with them ?
