Exclamation My IP address banned?

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.

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

Question

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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
