How would it be any different on a rooted phone to people totally independent of me trying here?
The main reason why I am asking this is that they are the forum at the forefront of skeptical thinking and critical analysis online, in terms of user numbers. And the fact that they have taken this rather bizarre step of making it hard to sign up there makes me rather uneasy at where such a large community is heading. No open community should do this. They should take a leaf out of the book of this forum. They need more input from people to make people change their minds, they hated the idea of bitcoin when I talked about it there!
The app I would have you install requires root access. Then with that app you can mask your device, network address, etc.. It has worked with many phone apps that block you, so I would assume you could use it to get online and sign up on a simple forum as well.
