Google Groups grrr…

Alex August 15th, 2008

Just been to visit the “IT Volunteers in Ethiopia” group that I set up the other week, only to find that I get the message “The owner of this group has banned you from this group. “:

So apparently I’ve banned myself from the group :-/ (not quite sure how I would’ve managed that- or why!)

Then if I try to return to the groups homepage, I get “Forbidden Your client does not have permission to get URL / from this server”:

*but* if I then log out of my Google account, I’m able to see the group and I have permission to get to the Groups homepage…

    Funnily enough – I’m now banned from my own group as well. My group is a closed group with around 10 members. How can this happen?

    I am also banned from my group. I logged in with a second email address which worked for a while but no that one is banned also.

    No idea what gives.
    And google does not reply
