Title: An error has occurred! You are banned from using this forum.
Post by: helpwhyamibanned on October 01, 2015, 10:32:59 PM: So this past week, whenever I've tried to check up on m42club, it seems that my main account (timothymcn) is banned, but I can't figure out why. I haven't made any posts since April 16th, and it doesn't seem like my account was compromised by spammers, considering I still have my low 34 post count. I've never made any monetary transactions on this forum, or posted anything remotely controversial. What's going on?
Has my home IP address been compromised somehow? Even if I use an incognito window, at home, I'm still banned as a "guest." (I'm writing this from a different network.) I've attached a screenshot of the page, when I attempt to view m42club, as well as an image of my member page as viewed by a guest (which doesn't say I'm banned). If possible, I'd really appreciate some help or an explanation from a moderator or administrator.

Thanks,

If my account has been compromised by spammers, and I am just unaware of it, I sincerely apologize for the scam posts!

PM me if you can find your phone's IP, I'll unblock the whole subnet. I believe you can just google "what's my ip" from your device.

Sorry for any inconvenience, but we get 10-20 new spambots registering here every day.
