Title: Whats up with the Banned message?
Post by: Rorschach on November 09, 2012, 09:36 am
Hi guys, I'm having trouble accessing the forum with my account I'm getting a message saying that I've been banned.

I can't be the only one as I can see there are only 14 users active in the past 15 minutes which is not normal for SR...

Any thoughts?

It appears the site had some issues.

Me and about 6 other people I spoke to got the same message.

Go back to your regular method of logging on though and it should now be fine.

+1 to muslix. i learned just about every way to get around a forum ban, though, so it wasn't all for naught.

I'd typed up a pretty pitiful, "I don't know what I did, but I'm sorry, just please tell me why you've banned me, and I'll make it better" message to SR support when the forums came back online. Thank goodness it stayed un-sent, because that shit was pathetic.

I'm so glad that I didn't get voted off the island, after all.

what likely happened was another mod trying to prevent the spam banned the IP of one of the accounts. but he must not have realized we all appear to be on the same IP to the forum, so essentially it banned the entire forum and no one could get on

Thank you for the clarification miRNA!!! It seems like this caused several of us, myself included, to have our hearts sink deep in worries/concerns. I went to bed feeling awful last night, but I guess we can all rest better tonight  :)

As I've mentioned in other threads, as long as security > convenience prevails on the SR (+SR Forums) I think we'll have an excellent chance to sustain the community as a whole.

microRNA, I'm a huge supporter of DRP and SR and believe it's the future here now, but I am concerned about what's happening as are many others. The drama I have is if the Road goes down forever would DPR take off with our BTC much like duderugs and other scumbags did in your opinion or return them to us upon request? I just wired into my account another 150 BTC on top of the 39 I had in there means I can't afford to lose it especially since I was doing this for a mate I can't afford to give him $2K out of my pocket. You would have a better idea than the rest of us... any news?
