I got a message saying I was banned - AGAIN!

April · Post by **April** » Fri Sep 15, 2006 10:04 pm

When I tried to log on a few hours ago it wouldn't let me access the board. Saying I was banned. Any idea what's going on? As I'm obviously not banned. Because I can now post.

Very confusing.

what message was it? i've been having some trouble with a server thing that keeps out people using anonymous servers.

I think it said something like (sorry, should have made a note) "You have been banned from accessing this forum."

I've had no problems since, so maybe it was just a one off thing.

It happened again. This time for about 24 hours. The message said

"You have been banned from this forum.
Please contact the webmaster or board administrator for more information."

Anything I can do to stop it?

Maybe try this (from a similar thread)?

if it happens again, go to http://www.dslreports.com/whois and find out what your current ip address is, then email me at llama@drizzle.com. put "bus access" in the subject line so i won't think it's spam.

thanks.

Thanks. I'll try that.

It happened again.

I was already pretty low. It didn't help.

I'm sure it didn't.

It's not a friendly message to have popping up when you're trying to find support.

Don't suppose you remembered to get your IP address? I don't know a way of stopping this without finding that out somehow, I'm afraid.

I got it and e-mailed it. But I never heard back. Maybe it got lost in the junk mail filter?

Hello

I can't log on from public access computers, specifically the ones at schoo. It's not a problem (I'm not asking for a fix, it's fine jsut to log on at home) but you might find that if you are using computers whcih are in the education system they may have a firewall to stop you using the site. It comes back to me saying "Forbidden, you are not allowed to access this site. please ocntact the system admin" or somethign to that effect. Which computers are you using or is it the same one each time.

Sorry can't be more help. Sending hugs (if that's ok). It's a rotten thign to happen.

If you still have it, could you pm it to me and I'll have a look?

Thanks namaste.

I only access BUS at home. And am sadly no longer in the education system. But thanks for posting. The hugs are appreciated.
