Re: [DSL] Problems with a forum/ IP addresssaid by mj05:This is what I don't understand. I am using a new email address and it doesn't help. I don't get it. I don't have a static IP. The only way a forum can ban you is using the IP and e mail address to identify you . The forum is likely having issues causing it to be slow . |

But it's only at a crawl, after I log in, and sometimes it won't let me log in. Without logging in, everything is super quick. I don't understand, I think it must be IP related, but then i'd think they would ban me. I don't think it's their server causing problems.
I'll attempt to leave my modem/pc off over night and see if it resets the ip. |

On 3g now, so I don't think it's the IP... still confused though, I guess they somehow are doing something to the new account, because it originated on the banned IP? So frustrating.. I successfully created a new account on 3g, and it seems to be working fine on the current IP. Either in time they will mess up that account too, or I was successful in reseting my ip by turning the modem off for an hour. So far so good |

They have you throttled. It's a common tactic on modern forums to slow you down. Stop trolling next time. |

lol thanks, you got it. I wasn't trolling though, just honestly broke a rule that I didn't know existed...selling something in my signature. I have somehow fixed the issue either with a different IP, or email address...not sure, but all is well.
Thanks! |

Yep, you have to be really careful and read the forums rules. The admins can do pretty much anything to make you go away these days. |

Imagine that maybe they are using a cookie, so every time you show up, even with a different IP and different e-mail, they can identify you. Either that, or magic. |

Nope, all is good under a different account/email/ and possibly IP... haven't had one issue since. Really appreciate all your responses though fellas. THANKS! |
