No access to thread

[patsparks]

I tried to access a thread which may have been locked out by admins and got this message,

patsparks, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Could we have added 3. The thread has been closed due to abuse or breach of PriusChat rules. (Or something like that)?

I don't know anything about this stuff but I'm pretty sure my account is fine.

I just saw that too... I was reading a thread that was started by a troll and I'm pretty sure a mod torched it before I hit "page 2" at which point I got that error... had to think back if I had committed any ban-able offese.

I got one of those by hitting the "back" browser button after reporting a troll to the mods. I suspect that set off the message by making the browser attempt to load a script generated page, to which I no longer had access.

What were you doing when you got your error?

That could be it. Perhaps the page was removed as we clicked the link.

As it turns out, I got darned sick and tired of the "established" PriusChat members ganging together and jumping on new members (trolls or not) so I deleted the thread. It was going downwards fast with no actual further contribution and served no purpose other than to make people feel good by beating others down.

It's gone now.

Wow Tony, three of us got caught in the vortex and almost went down with it. That was a close call.

For the record, I didn't jump on that bandwagon... I did report a couple trolls earlier today, but I always take a quick look at all of a user's posts before deciding whether to report, no matter how obvious a single post might seem.

I also don't consider myself more "established" in any way other than having read more of the good advice of some experienced and friendly people around here.
