Please, I have a large account and I dont want to have to redo it. Also since the e-mail address is already in the system it will not let me use it again with another member name. This happened before to that's why they had me to change it from walknmud to ******. I depend on the web site garage heavely, and every time I ask a question, they lock me out. I feel this is deliberate because just as quickly after I complain to 'higher-ups', like AOL, it's turned back on. I just wanted to know if the e-mail reports had been discontinued and why. I don't think it's right for people to be shut down for asking a question.

Dear Netscape member, Please provide any and all residential address information you may have used at the time of registration. Once we have this matching information, we can proceed in resolving your issue.

Thank you,

I appreciate your reply, But this needs to be sent to AOL management, as this just keeps happening to me. This is the 4th time they have done this and it isn't a technical problem, it's deliberate. Now they pretend I don't exist. I have answered all the questions and they are still playing dumb. Can you plese forward this to the approiate department that can address this? If not send me a phone number so I can call the right person who can fix this I know somebody can if they want to..

The error page I get cannot be mailed to An error has occurred -- Invalid ureg_id at /home/atweb/user/engine/states/router_server.cgi line 1720 Please report this to webmaster@register-it.com Error at /home/atweb/user/engine/states/router_server.cgi line 310, chunk 2.

I appreciate your reply, but..

The phone number wants $29.95 to even talk to a tech, I can't do that . Please just send this to somebody that can resolve this or let me have an address at netscape that goes to somebody besides .nscpsupport@netscape.com or a phone number that is not to a recorded message.

I know you have thousands of requests but this is a deliberate lock out because it has happened before, and should go to someone in management who can stop this kind of childish behavior. Every time I ask a question they do this. I am nice and I say Please and then they lock me out of the account.

Please help me...

I have been locked out of my website Garage account for more than a week now. I have sent several e-mails to the Feedback site and support asking for help, all to be ignored, except one named Jay who sent me a password, . that doesn't work on 4/16/02.

I can't seem to get anybody to fix this.

I had reported that the e-mail reports weren't working 2 weeks ago, and was then locked out of my account for the 4th time now. I was sent an e-mail that said the WSG didn't service or care about free accounts or their maintance. They fixed this however on 4/20/2002. Now it doesn't work again

My member name is ******. My name is I**** , address ***************** , my password ******* , they changed it to 'temppw' on 4/22/02 but that one doesn't work either. Please I would like to get into my account. I would like for somebody to explain to me why it is wrong to ask a question, like why did the e-mail reports stop? I assumed that I was reporting a problem that effected other members also.

I have reported this to AOL because nobody will answer my mail now. I am not being a pest, I just want to be able to get into my account and I did nothing wrong to be locked out.

Please help me....I*****

Then I sent Snail mail to Costumer service, Netscape, Ogden Utah, AOL and Time Warner.

Executive Escalations

Letter to Netscape management, May 9th

May 9th, 2002

Netscape Communications
P.O. Box 1559
Ogden Utah

May 9, 2002

Management,

Your Escalations person sent me this letter in May 2nd.

It does not address the problem and does not offer a solution or a reason for the misbehavior of your Web Site Garage employees.

I have enclosed a copy of my letter to Time Warner and AOL addressing the problem.

All the letter from escalations shows me is your personal don’t care about FREE ACCOUNTS and YOU are NOT willing to fix this.

The apology offered is not excepted on this issue.

I know it can be fixed as it’s been fixed in the past when your personal got mad at me and deliberately deleted my password or when I moved and they were able to reconnect me with the account under a different e-mail address.

This issue will not be dropped until somebody sees what’s going on here. IT IS NOT MY FAULT, NOR DID I VIOLATE ANY TERMS OF SERVICE. I simply asked a question.

The solution simple. RESTORE MY PASSWORD or send me one that works and let me into my Account. If you can’t do that, let me have a new account. That means not blocking my E-MAIL ADDRESS FROM YOU SERVICES, which is being done now.

This is nonsense and if it isn’t fixed I will scan the letter and post it to the main web page you won’t restore my accounts to, at http://www.dreamwater.org/walknmud1/hiramdiscovered.html.

Then I will create a separate page on two or three web page host pages and have the search engine find keyword Netscape and this will be posted there also. I have accounts already on three that I can use. This is not slander or libel since I have the letters describing the unwillingness of your company to fix the problem.

My e-mail reports were also shut down by this so-called executive after he got my first letter. Explain that. Upgrading is not the issue here, it’s plain and simple, I am being blocked out of my account on purpose. ******** ***********
