Upon trying to login to the CNCnet lobby I get the following message "Error: cannot join game, You are banned!"  
  
I can't figure out why I've been banned. I posted a stream of messages advertising a game that needed some more players ( 4 in a row I believe) but it used to be that you only got muted if the amount of "spamming" was too bad. 
  
With all things being thrown at you in a private chat after the opponent lost or was kicked from the game it seems a bit harsh to get banned for a few non-insulting messages in the chat lobby.. 
  
Is there anything I can do to get unbanned? 
  
  
EDIT:  I seem to have been unbanned..  
  
Is this the new form of muted? In that case no problem, I'll keep that in mind and minimize the amount of "spam"
