Title: If your account was recently banned.
Post by: Wolvenar on February 01, 2020, 06:59:59 pm

Sorry this was not intentional or meant to be personal.
Recently this forum has had a flood of spam bots finding their way past the spam protections.

In tweaking the automated anti bot/spammer a rule got put in that was missing a character.
Instead of banning a single email address, it banned an entire domain.

Also, since spammers and bots use VPN *a lot*, a significant amount of the commercial VPN IP are blocked from signing up a new user.

  Had no problem Wolv.  Maybe just lucky?  Thanks for the heads up though.
