Title: Why Is My IP banned
Post by: eServiZes on March 21, 2014, 12:45:16 PM
Hi,
My IP was banned for some unknown reason and I could not get anyone to tell me why.  I was FORCED into paying the small fee to unban my IP address.  After paying I created another account and now it is saying that my IP is banned??  I paid the fees so why am I still banned?  Better yet, why did I even get banned in the first place.  I still have not received any answers?

It's really very strange. Did you write to the moderator about it?

Are you using Tor? Or are you in a college or a big office that many people share the same IP?

Well please post more information, where did u posted, what kind of stuff. Also try to scan your PC with some anti virus program, maybe that was some kind of worm or so.
Best regards.

Paying the fee whitelists your account, not the IP address.

The most likely scenario is that your return to the forum with a different account name didn't undo the previous IP ban you already earned.

If you are on an ISP with dynamically-assigned and changing IP addresses, there is an impossibly remote chance that another user on the ISP earned the ban. If you are accessing through Tor or a proxy, the exit IP was likely previously abused and must stay IP banned.

How much is this "fee"?

I think it depends on evil unit.
i.e. "Your account contains 1.00 units of evil. To atone, you must pay a total of 0.00004023 bitcoins (0.04023 mBTC; 4023 satoshi)"

Ah Ok. So if you scammed the hell out of people and you get banned, it would only cost you 100000 BTC?

This is off-topic discussion but, scammers aren't banned here.

Sent you a message about it.

I'm pretty sure they can't do much for you unless you give them your account name ;).

If you post your old account name, we might be able to figure out what happened.

If an IP landed a lot of accounts, then it will be banned.
