F.A.Q
How do I dispute a ban or file a complaint against a moderator?
-Ban disputes can be done either through the moderator who issued the ban or throughforum_admin@bodybuilding.com. Due to the large number of ban disputes we get daily, please follow the following steps prior to disputing ban and keep all disputes professional and courteous.
Step 1: Read the forum rules. If you do not think you posted content that violated forum rules proceed to step 2.
Step 2: Contact the moderator who issued the ban through the email address that will provided in your ban message. If the moderator will not lift the ban and you still feel that you have not violated forum rules proceed to step 3.
Step 3: Contact the forum admin at forum_admin@bodybuilding.com. Please provide a reason you do not feel the ban is warranted.
Each ban reason should include a moderator email address to contact the moderator for dispute. All complaints against moderators need to be sent to forum_admin@bodybuilding.com. It is rare that a ban will be overturned.
