Title: Stumped
Stumped - March 5, 2008 01:44 PM (GMT)
Problem.
I can't make new threads. It says I don't have permission to start any.
And the other problem is, my college IP has been banned. I have no idea why, but my original account also seems to be banned.
I'm sure I haven't posted anything against the TOS or whatever, so I'm wondering whats up?
My home IP is fine, so it's something to do with the college one. Only thing is I can't make threads on this new account and I don't undestand why.
Can TK or Bluezone or whoever sort this out for me?
The original account name was Word.
Thanks.

Your ip address associated with the "word" account is linked to a vast series of accounts.. one of which initiated a spam attack upon CL and since the initial bans of all accounts associated with the spammer's ip address were banned, more accounts aimed at attacking us again have been created and also banned.

It's probably linked with loads of accounts as it's a dynamic IP.

After I banned the ip and all accounts found using it, another account was created to spam us and it's ip is pretty much the same as the one you are using with the stumped account.

Dynamic IP addresses are pretty much the same. Static are different. Yours are definitely dynamic. But I'll tell you this. I can tell if it is a college or not. B/c colleges don't use any local ISP. They use their own and gateway it into their server.
So we shall see.
