Can't access forum from any russian IP

Help me please ! 

"Sorry Guest, you are banned from using this forum!
This ban is not set to expire."

Yes, we do have quite a few Russian IPs banned due to thousands of automated registration attempts. Spammers never rest...the Chinese and Ukrainian subnets are very active as well.

If you could let me know what your IP range is, I'll remove it from the banned list.

Sorry to restore this old topic but I am having the same problem.
I am on dynamic IP and every time my connection fails or my modem restarts it's very difficult to find an unbanned IP.

Sorry about that, but this site gets a LOT of spammers from Russian hosts & ISPs. I suspect that it's just bots using Russian bandwidth to cover up their true geographic location.

I temporarily removed the Russian spam filter, please try to log in and see if it's working for you.

Thanks Dave, I tried a few manual disconnect/connect and didnt get any problems loging in.
Dunno how my IPs are related to Russia though, anyone of them I get resolved comes back as Greek.

Oh - I wasn't aware that you were coming from a Greek ISP. I figured you were using Russian servers since this is a "Russian IP" thread. 

If you get a chance, send me some info like username, email address, ISP domain or IP range. I can check to see which of the filters is blocking you and remove them from the ban list.

Sorry about that, I should have been more specific.
