Title: Banned for SPAM?
Post by: DLR Pyro on September 03, 2020, 11:21:32 AM
Last night I tried to go to this site on my Android phone using Chrome as I always do and saw a message telling me I was banned for spam posting and that the ban will not be lifted.  I couldn't recall any links I posted that may have been considered spam and could not log in.

I tried several times with no success then on an hunch tried the site on my computer and got in with no problem.  tried on my phone again and it said I was banned.  I cleared all of the cache and data from chrome on my phone and was then allowed back in. 

Anyone else ever experience this?

This morning when I tried to access this site on Chrome as I always do I discovered that I am banned once again.

Got this message:

Sorry DLR Pyro, you are banned from using this forum!

This ban is not set to expire.

Tried Brave with the same results so I tried Firefox with my VPN off and finally got in, but still can't with Chrome or Brave

What's the deal with this?  Do my posts here suck that bad?

By no means my area of expertise, but I'm going to hazard a guess. It was likely a glitch in the matrix. That has happened to me being locked out for spam on my Android phone via Chrome. Likely it'll be a self-fixing minor issue.

I've never known you especially nor any folks to post spam here. Unless they're a lib-turd troll.

It's happened to me several times.  When it happens I have to switch from DDG browser to Safari on my iPhone.

It eventually stops doing that and I can go back to the DDG browser.

I have had similar problems using NordVPN. I have to either disable it or create a bypass record so that the VPN is not used when connecting to these sites. For my banking app I have to turn VPN completely off.

It has become a daily occurrence now but have determined it happens when I access this site with ExpressVPN on.  I can "un-ban" myself if I go into settings and delete the cookie for this site then restart the browser with the VPN off.
