Title: IP Ban?
Post by: drgnslyr on September 07, 2010, 05:25:39 AM

It seems ive been IP banned, and my old account deleted, despite having it for about an hour, not posting with it, and now, i have to use a proxy to register this account, with my second email adress, because i tried re-registering, and i got "banned" again.

the message I get when trying to use the forums normally (withoug proxy) is :
An Error Has Occurred!

Sorry Guest, you are banned from using this forum!
This ban is not set to expire.


This is very confusing, because I hadnt done anything...

You don't have any relatives on the forum, do you? 'Cause if they used the same comp or router to register, and then they got banned, I imagine that your old account would get banned too. I'm not entirely sure if I'm right on that, though.

No, I live with my Fiancee, and our internet line is 6 months old, so the IP adress shouldnt be linked to anyone else...

Right, well I'm clueless about that. Serge probably knows more about IP stuff than I do, anyways. Maybe it's one of ACAMS' extremely rare balls-ups.

I remember on the old forum I got a similar message the day after signing up.. I emailed ACAMS (contact admin) and he fixed it.. dont know of that was intentional or not :P

its because i had my xbox clans website in the web address section when i signed up, and i must have mistyped it, ive pm'd ACAMS with my IP and explained that, just waiting on a reply.

USUALLY the only time we IP Ban is when Spambots are involved. Your email address or IP may be linked to (or is similar to) a spam website.

That depends, you may have a dynamic IP.

Go to whatismyip.com, take note of IP, restart computer, router and gateway (if any), visit site again, compare. If the IP is different it means you're probably getting a new one every 24 hours.
