Title: Apparently I'm banned...?
Post by: GastronomicKleptomaniac on 05 January 2020, 13:35:59

So. While passing the time babysitting some poor misunderstood person at hospital last night, once said person was safely catching some Zs, I thought I'd pop on here on my mobile. Only to get a message telling me that I'm banned?!

I mean, I know I'm hardly Member of the Year but it's a bit harsh... how do I fix it? It's the same now on mobile but desktop is fine?

I was banned from the Jag forum. They said I was a trouble maker.

They always pick on the innocent and blameless first.

Presumably you are accessing from a banned IP address - would be odd for TB et al to ban a mobile carriers range wholesale, though.

Were you accessing via WiFi, via mobile internet or via a VPN?

Pointless me looking at the logs, unless you can provide almost exact time and/or your IP.

If you can provide one/both of these, I can investigate :)

and/or your IP.

And if you aren't aware how to figure that out, go to https://ipchicken.com (I swear, that is a legitimate link!) or https://ipinfo.io (the former just gives you what you want, the latter gives a lot more information).

And if our esteemed member who was looking at VPNs recently (Shackeng, was it?) clicks on those, his head will explode  :D
