I Got Banned, Not Sure Why, Little Help?
Ehya,

I sent a mail to the provided link in the ban notice, but have heard nothing in 10 hours, so thought I would post this for some help.

I made a reply post in the "Army humvees (HMMWV) sightings: Western PA in back streets"

Thread: Army humvees (HMMWV) sightings: Western PA in back streets (Page 6)

at 10/22/2008 10:49 AM

The link I posted somehow was from the wrong window, but it posted ok (and still sits there as a bunk link). I went for edit to correct it to the proper link at Gas_oven, that's when I got an auto IP-ban?

Is Gas_oven a banned site?

I had to reset the IP here (a bitch) to post. Not too sure what to do about that post, except for just editing it to reflect that I can't post the proper link, but it would be nice to know what happened - ie: did I post a bannable site?
Thanks,

Tumbleweed

Happened to me too. You tell us to email you, we email you, you don't reply. What's up with that?
At least reply to the emails and let us know why we were banned in error, because we have the same IP as someone else who was banned....
whatever.
I hope I'm not banned now.
Maybe I won't post this at all.
They'll ban me.
Shit.

Re: I Got Banned, Not Sure Why, Little Help?
I hit an autoban last week and only got on today. I wrote the name of a place that was auto censored to a festive greeting. Seems a strange thing to be banned, I didn't post a link or anything but what I reallly want to know is how do we know what is banned? is there a list? I've never been banned from anywhere before......it was a bit of a shock!

Yes, Chases, linking to that site is not allowed on this site and trips the autoban.

Re: I Got Banned, Not Sure Why, Little Help?
I look into this ... the fact that it looks like the name of the site has been changed to Gas_oven is a good sigh that it is an autoban

the autobans are a pain, but they are there because of past spammers ...

But that's what's weird, that's NOT the site I posted a link to; furthermore, when I posted the site which I DID link to in this OP, I used only the site name, no 'www' no 'com', and the letters of the site URL entered with a space in between each letter - but even then, when I hit to post, GLP changes the site (and spaced letters of the site name) to what you see NOW in the OP.
Where you see "Gas oven" in this thread, as in the Humvee post, is where I typed in the site of where I was TRYING to link to, as well as when I tried to just spell out the site with spaces, changes to gas oven !!

And no, clearing the IP would obviously be futile, as I forced an IP change to post. Was just looking for insight.

Re: I Got Banned, Not Sure Why, Little Help?
lol...getting banned isn't terribly difficult, depends on the day, the mod, etc.

I got banned a long time ago because I jokingly called a certain mod a star wars nerd...in a creatively funny way. Didn't go over too well, I guess...

For the most part though, bans are pretty reasonable, and there are situations were it wouldn't hurt to have a few more (the current mccain/obama spasm is a good example).

OP, what are the steps you took to change you IP, i know you reset it, but it doesn´t work that way for me, i have a dinamic IP, but it depends on the company that provides de IP for me, they asign it for you. If you let me in on how you reset it, i will appreciate it.

Re: I Got Banned, Not Sure Why, Little Help?
if your connected to a router then you can power down your modem and connect your computer directly to the modem, then renew your IP and it should be different; afterwards turn off modem and turn router back on and log into your router, clone your mac address, renew IP in router, and then rehook back up the modem and power cycle everything.

this will work unless your MAC is already cloned in the router in which case do the opposite of what i said. after a couple weeks you can do the opposite procedure and get yet another new IP adress.

Most likely an auto ban from a "Bot" system manager. I wouldn't take it seriously. It happened to a lot of folks here. It happened to me, just last week. It's not like I said anything bad either. Don't worry about it.
