Can't post on main 3-series forum only?

Sorry, don't know where to ask otherwise.

Whenever I login, I can post on all subforums, except 3-series forum. Says I don't have permission. It's been so for months and I thought maybe something technical, but since nothing has changed?

Maybe you were banned from there for bad behaviour.

Banned? Then I wonder for what. I never say anything bad or offensive.

Not seen any warning or moderator or anything. So really no clue.

Not unheard of to be banned without warning. I actually think it never comes with a warning.

I suggest you message the admins to determine why and how to rectify.

Can one be banned from just one sub-forum but not all?

I think I learned about it when the G8X was announced/released. The droves that had something to say about the grille got annoying and were banned from that forum, so they'd stop talking about the grille.

There's a nasty user here who was banned from the off topic, but currently annoys everyone in the racing forum… one would think that a ban is a ban is a ban, so there's definitely an upside and a downside to this decision of banning from specific forums.

Hmm I do have partaken in that grill discussion, but that was it, a discussion about the grill. I one can get banned for expressing an opinion on a forum...

That might be why…

It's also one thing to express your opinion and move along.
Do it more than once, and you face the axe.

Sorry, that makes absolutely no sense at all. Isn't the whole point of a forum to express one's opinion?

Yeah, but it's in the rules that one shouldn't be a troll.

Not saying you are, not sure what you've said or done. Just saying there are rules that don't align with "freedom of speech" (and they use that sentence in the rules themselves). Just noting this about the freedom of speech but.
Sorry you were banned, if you were. I agree you could reach out to a mod or admin and ask to see if you were and why.

Cheers!

They do when called upon.

I'm not surprised there isn't a response here. It'd be impolite to discuss a particular member situation in public. Just reach out to them via PM and see what's up.

I am not a troll. My "MParallel" nickname is 'well-known' around the BMW forums. I don't like trolls as much as the next one.

I have contacted a mod, but never gotten a reply. Will give it another go.
