Capetonian, I don't know about before, but neither of your accounts currently have any disciplinary actions against them.
Also, we do not have the ability to intentionally interfere with your email notifications. I know we had some server issues company-wide which affected email notifications at some of our other sites, so you may very well have experienced that. Things should be returning to normal in that regard, however.
Please also make sure that your email notifications settings are set to your liking in User CP.
