Now at the PC everything works fine - obviously. Looking at my smartphone again there is no "banned message" any longer. That's weird isn't it?
Any idea what might have happened? I had this a couple of days before already.

Since we four moderators did nothing, it happened to no one else, and it doesn't happen at your computer but only on your "smart" phone (from which it disappears); I'd suspect your phone or your reading of the small screen.

What was identified as "banned" in the software was renamed by Dave as "on vacation". That is what it says on all the 70 or so spammers and people trying to lay malware eggs here. The six banned accounts from the king of multiple accounts are also identified as "on vacation" - not "banned".

There have been 3 spammers put on permanent vacation so far this year, which is a bit over average. However if you haven't signed up on your phone as "qkxpanbeulef" and tried sell a large red bridge north of San Francisco; you're probably safe.
