I have not used this site in years. When I tried to ask a question it says "we are not accepting questions from this account.

How to recover account? Or do I simply have to use another account to ask questions?

  • You are asking about your SU account, right?

Well, your account is working as designed - you, however have been question banned.

While link only answers are frowned on - there's a meta.se post explaining what to do

Using another account is probably not the best idea.

  • - Do you know if the 6 month rate limit also applies to answers as well?

  • That's literally the best information even us mods have, so no idea specifically

  • Well if the user is question banned then they will be allowed to ask a question after 6 months. If they are answer banned (which I thought they were asking about for some reason) I am not sure if the rate limit applies.

  • @Ramhound No rate limit for answer bans. See superuser.com/help/answer-bans "Stack Exchange cannot lift answer bans by request. The only way to end a posting block is to positively contribute to the site; automatic bans never expire or "time out". "

  • @DavidPostill - The problem is that, same answer indicates a 6-month rate limit, on submitting questions

  • @Ramhound Yes. There is a rate limit for questions. But not for answers.

  • @DavidPostill - I figured I knew the answer, but "question bans" have also morphed into "question rate limits" over the years. So I wasn't sure if the rate limit applied to answers or not.

Use another account, you are question banned. Final solution. Make sure to use new ip and email so they don't catch you. And leave at least 1 to 2 days in between logins to new and old account.

You must log in to answer this question.
