You must speak to the operators of the channel and only to them. The operators of the channel do not need to have “reasons” to ban you, they decide what happens in the channel. Complaining to the staff of Kampungchat for having been kicked out or banned from a channel is considered extremely childish and will not change the outcome. The staff of KampungChat will not interfere in the rules of the channel, this is the sole responsibility of the operator of the channel itself. If you have been kicked out or banned from a channel you are free to create your own and decide your own rules and regulations. Consider every channel as if it were a home: the owner of that home has the right to share it with others or not and it is he/she who decides whom to let in and whom to exclude. In your home you decide, you are free to create your channel and establish your own rules.

If you are not able to receive email at the address listed on the account, we will likely not be able to recover your account, as the email address is the means of verifying ownership. In the event we cannot verify the account is yours and you cannot remember the password, you will have to wait 365 days for that registration to expire. This is why it is very important that all accounts are registered with valid email addresses!
