Chances are, it was because your mod does not have a website. Mods are required to have a simple website, all you really need is a bit of information and maybe some media.

That reply was fast, thx.
so if i get a web page going it will be un-banned?

Your web-site is a blank freewebs site, that is the reason you have been banned probably.

I can't see anything wrong with the moddb page itself, but it's probably the fact that there's nothing in your website. Freewebs is OK (despite what many will tell you), but you do have to put a little content in your site first. A description of the mod, some mdeia, a news post, whatever. Just something more than 'Small Title | Big Title'.

Yes, freewebs is ok, but if you really want to attract team members you may want to try and get something a little better. If you're not bothered, I don't see the problem with a freewebs site.

I believe. You a staff member should have sent you a Private Message detailing why your mod was banned. There should be something in the upper-right corner next to your user name that says if you have any PMs. BTW, good luck on your mod. Looks very intresting and creative :D

If it is setup, and still follows our guidelines for a mod profile, yes it will be unbanned. Just notify the admin who banned your mod initially.

That is exactly why it got banned, Next time, please check your private message inbox by clicking the gray underlined text just below the moddb logo in the top left corner of this page.

Not a bad idea, but unlikely (We don't like subscription services). We'll add it to the list though.
