Banned IP Message

Post by BigglesNBella »

When I try to logon to AvCanada at my girlfriend's house I get this message:
You have been permanently banned from this board.

Please contact the Board Administrator for more information.

Reason given for ban: die spammer scum

A ban has been issued on your IP address.
What gives? I even grabbed a new IP but it still does this.

My apologies - I've been using her computer
afterwards, when she's asleep.

Sorry about that,

DAMN!

I was gonna say, "I'd ask Hedley where he's been the last few days."

But you beat me to it.

I already released and renewed her IP address from the ISP and got the same message. Maybe it didn't work though, I'll PM you her IP address when I get a chance later.

It could have been an IP range which was banned ... and it may not be "us" that initiated the ban.

Try looking up the IP address here: http://www.spamhaus.org/lookup.lasso

It will also give you instructions on what to do if you are on the list.

The "die spammer scum" message is courtesy of me, that IP must have previously spammed the AvCanada board before.

I haven't banned an ip range in ages, so I'm not sure why it would still show that if you got a new IP.

Pls PM me or another mod the related info and we'll fix it up.
