I have not been able to connect to the forum over the last few days because my IP address is banned. Can an administrator please explain why? How do I get unbanned? I have already contacted "the administrator" but have not gotten an explaination.

stop blowing up buses

 

but yet you're here. It's Mind Bottling.

I would send a PM to an administrator; Zoom44, Elara, Omicron, etc. One of them can review why you were banned and explain the situation to you

 

I am here because I am, and I can connect using a different internet connection.
and I don't blow up buses because I burn my mouth on the exhaust.

 

Stop posting Pr0n

 

........I burn my mouth on the exhaust.

Nice one.

I musta banned 50 spammers today, you probably live close to one, 'collateral damage.'

I'll check and unban you.....

Still banned but waiting patiently on a favourable outcome.

ps. What's ****?

 

Every Argentina IP is banned due to spam! Hopefully we don't have anyone from there.

 

but there's HOT women from Argentina! surely ONE of them must drive an RX-8.

 

Many thanks to all those hard working admins but especially Elara for restoring my IP to normal.
Frank

 

Elara is the greatest! She's very understanding and un-bias unlike some of the mods!

Besides...why do you even use your own IP to get on an internet forum?? random proxy servers, anyone? haha..j/k

 

+2, proxy servers FTW

 

Forgive my ignorance on this subject, but can the spammers use these "proxy servers" also?

 

anyone can, but spammers are usually automated from what I understand so I am not sure if they could use them or not.

 

I also have this problem and I'm not a spammer and it's really pissing me off!!!

 

As a Moderator, my access to such things are limited. But, I can see that you have accessed this site from 3 different IP addresses. Please PM either Zoom44 or Elara with the one you are having problems with so it can be investigated.

 

I don't see that any of the IP addresses you've logged on from are banned. Is there one in particular you can't get on from?

 

Hey thanks for investigating this so quickly- I'm DZNUTZUK and I'm writing this on behalf of rotary-x, like I said I live 300miles away from him and he accesses the site from work and home. He's having the problem from work so I'll have to ask him what his IP address is.

 

Ok, his ip address is 92.118.226.200

 

It could be that there is a block at the work site that isn't allowing him to access the site. Or, a browser problem. Clear the history, cookies & cache in the browser and try again.

 

yeah seems like his work blocked the site.

 

No, it's his privately owned business and only he is there. I don't think it would be a settings problem either because it's a notebook and when he uses it at home there's no problem. Hmmmm very troubling...

ps. when he tries to get on the site it say's he's banned and he should contact an administrator, that's why I thought it was a problem from the rx8 site. He has no problem getting onto the rx7site from work

 

LOL, nice to know....
Let me reset my neighbors router....
Arrr

 

Can we get a screen print of the banned message?
