Title: I got banned :(
Post by: RobertMartino on October 13, 2018, 06:50:59 PM
whats up guys my names Robert, I used to go by ludicium gaming, Ive been on the cover project since about 2012, 2013, but for some reason when I tried to log back in yesterday It said I was banned. :/

I guess Im just a little confused because I haven't really even posted a cover or anything on here in a long long time, so I was just wondering why my account got taken down. If I violated some of the terms of use or something my bad, but I just was wondering if someone could tell me whats up.

I don't see your username banned. Either another admin already fixed it or it's your IP that was banned. If this is so, try logging in from another IP and let us know if that worked.

If it is the IP, let us know what is the IP you are unable to log in from and we will look into it.

Happened to me too a few weeks back.  Even though i've been a good boy.  You just have to clear your cache and cookies, it's an ongoing problem the TCP overlords are working on.

And again while posting this.

Unregistered no problem but lgged in only front page is accessible.

That's what was happening to me last month.  I kept clearing cache, but I could only log in for a few seconds before getting banned again.  I couldn't even post anything. 

In my situation, it was resolved when Sheep removed the large IP ban that was recently put up.

I wish i had more info on what is causing this issue, but unfortunately I haven't quite put my finger on the root cause. Sorry it's causing so many issues for folks.

I believe it was all down any ban starting with IP numbers.
the problematic IP can be found in Mod's Lair in topic What's going on with all these bans?

I had issues logging in using at least 4 different IPs.  Shenske looked at my login history and made note that I've used a LOT of IPs to login over the years, but none looked problematic.  I'm not sure what changes were eventually made on TCP's end, but I haven't had any issues recently.

But there were 3 on the IP band that causes huge bunch of our members getting banned.
PMed you link to the post that shows which one I mean.

Actually old Finnish Gods were stronger than Viking Gods.
They were on par with Greek Gods, in addition we our own as strong ones for snow and such that Greeks didn't.

I guess that I shouldn't have said anything.  Tried posting on my phone this am, got banned.

but just on my phone.  For now...

There is certain IP band that blocks lot of members including you but does not show on members' IP list.
I don't think its anybody's actual IP address but some sort of band that either our site uses for something or browsers.
But if you look at that IP band it does show who it blocks (I'll PM you the list soon so you se what I mean).
If I see someone saying that they are blocked but nothing shows up, I just check is there any IPs blocked on that band and remove it and 100% time all is clear... until someone blocks an IP on the band.

That’s bizarre. My only guess is that it’s a mobile band, since most phones use non-static IP addresses.

Though I was (and am at this moment) on the WiFi in my house that I use all the time.

I'm currently IP Banned again... getting a banned message under my normal account and as "guest" from multiple "normal" devises.   I'm posting this from a computer in the UK (I have my ways :P) but my US devices are all banned.

I found myself banned today! Clearing my history worked. Oddly, I couldn't log on with another browser.

I tried clearing everything. Got re-logged in and a few pages in.  As soon as I was going to post all was clear, I got banned again...

Just been contacted by TDIRunner again.  He’s not able to log on.  When I try to track his IP address i get a message that it’s invalid. 

I can’t see any new up range bans.

So, has anyone done anything today?  I know we’ve had a lot of spam, so wondering if anyone is trying to block it by other means?

On Bear78 I did find one and removed it, hope that was the cause of all this.

...and I'm banned again... did all the normal clearing, went to make a post and got the banned page.  Posting this from my UK PC again...

It seems like a regular thing. I was banned, I cleared my cache and things were ok. Only two hours later, I checked TCP and I was banned again. Cleared my cache and repeat. Only SnowCone can fix the issue.

I'm reading "I got banned" in Charlie Brown's voice from It's the Great Pumpkin when he says, "I got a rock":
