Hello @ragamuffin10 Pleased to meet you welcome.
Thank you for joining and sharing.
Sorry what has happened. I am one of the team of community champions who guide, advise and help new members who join the forum.
Have you considered a mandatory reconsideration as my friend @CockneyRebel has advised.
Have a look at our website for further information and advice.
Also consider speaking to CAB for additional support and guidance.
