i had the same problem a few weeks ago. i couldn't log on under my BADBLACKWS6 username........couldn't email mods, couldn't PM mods...i was fucked! so i had to invent another name to get back on the goddamn board, and now i just use this one. but the guy is right, NOTHING YOU FUCKING DO HELPS THIS! logging off, logging back on, doing backflips, nothing. keeps giving you the platinum bullshit. very frustrating. i feel you man! No one else will believe you, but i went through the same shit. maybe someone knows how to help out.........because i never changed my email or anything and it did it to me for no reason whatsoever.
