Title: banned for no specific reason
Post by: whyiambanned on October 03, 2014, 05:48:39 PM
I registered the other day and found myself banned today when I wanted to post again. this is my account:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=381134

Apparently they ban here for no reason... it just says im banned? I've tried to guess why im banned, but

1) I didn't shitpost, there's much much worse that this:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=381134;sa=showPosts

2) I didn't spam. There are enough minutes between messages to not be considered spam.

I did use a proxy because where i post from a lot of sites are blocked, and just for privacy reasons. But I wasnt warned about using proxies or anything.

I also tried to register again and got banned because I used a proxy. It said I needed to pay BTC to get my account back... LOL.

So people that need public proxies because they can't afford VPNs and can't browse the site any other way... what are they supossed to do?

Anyway, still dont know why the hell im banned.

There should be a ban reason displayed; what does it say? As for the public proxies, that fee is in place to prevent scammers while still allowing people to register accounts anonymously. You could always register from your local library / coffee shop / etc. if it's that much of an issue for you, though (depending on the proxy) the fee shouldn't be more than a few cents.

Maybe they think you are someone else that was already banned because you are using proxies or you are simply lying.

Your account is still new why not create another one using this free vpn. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=810375.0
