IP Banned

try vpn .. or try with your phone .. or someone elses phone .. as they will beIP blocks they may/will not all be blocked ..

or mail me .. but even when odido was so frriendly as to give my main mail address to the public .. I'll not mention it here Shocked

Butteh below all my posts there is a mail link .. it will not show you the mail address .. but you can use .. then when I'd reply that mail .. you'd have my email ... but eh .. when banned .. that'd be too late Laughing

Not sure if you could contact admin .. but eh .. admin is a bit of a lousy message reader.

Maybe the forum should not block everything .. but just disallow logins .. don't know what pandora effects that would have though ..

Cheers Jan, hopefully I won't need it at home as I've not been banned here yet, maybe I need to get a chat app for my phone, always something else to find Laughing

Well it appears that my IP address has been blocked, I can only access the forum using data on my phone. Using my desktop or wifi results in a "banned" message appearing. Help!!!

The new server will have many improvements. One is we will have smarter. less brutal security methods.

Another communications option is ::

https://irc.swartzel.nl/kiwi/?nick=change_this_to_your_nick_here_please

this will open the electro-music chat window and there is no need to log into the forum first .. handy in case you were banned.

Do use a sensible nick name please.

So after almost two months of being unable to access the forum and multiple requests for assistance nothing has changed. It's too bad, but I guess that this is the end. I'm going to miss the equinox concerts the most, and the DIY posts as well. I wonder how many people this happens to that just never complain or come back.

Anyways, I always really enjoyed the site and the people here. Best of luck in the future!

Take care,
Doug

Sorry to hear Doug,

I do not know of your multiple requests - I saw one message here but was involved in personal issues and not having any room for the forum.

I still have no IP address to unban - altough I have, in this thread, mentioned several times that i need it to be able to unban it.

And I'm having time again.

I have been working on automating the methods of dealing with site scrapers and the like. It may be time to unban all of the ips in the forum's database and let the tools do their job. They don't permanently ban ips, unless they are repeat offenders.

Give me time this evening and I'll post progress here, assuming there is progress.

I have to borrow a phone when I want to post, sorry for the delay.

I received an email from howardmosc@gmail.com on May 22 and replied with my ip address the next day. I followed up again on May 30 and again on June 11, copying admin@electro-music.com as well. No replies received at all. I don't really want to post ip addresses in the thread, what should I do now?

Doug
