What's happened to Dave's Account?
It gives him a mesage that an administrator has banned his IP address.
It was probably his GepperRankings account he was using but since it's an IP ban, I don't think it matters.
Seems to me he hasn't done anything wrong - unless it was in GameboyWorld. I don't read that drivel.
I reckon it's a mistake, he said that it's okay for me to ask about it. So what's up :D
Re: What's happened to Dave's Account?
No IP's are banned by mistake.
Are we talking about TheDave?
EDIT:
Not so long ago we banned a proxy IP. I just checked all TheDave's used IP's and he also used that proxy/IP.
I won't remove the IP from the blocklist, so he needs to disable his proxy or change proxy.
Re: What's happened to Dave's Account?
Yesh he's talking about TheDave.
He's done nothing wrong is teh Gameworld :unsure:
Re: What's happened to Dave's Account?
And neither the "thedave" account nor the "gepperrankins" account bear the infamous mark of the banned.

Cheers, IKE :D
I don't think he uses a proxy but it may be that his ISP uses a local proxy for a lot of its users in the area. I don't really know the specifics of how it works but it might be a problem for him.
He could use a proxy to get around it, I guess - but then again, his IP is probably dynamic and a reboot might sort it out :unsure:
Re: What's happened to Dave's Account?
Isn't the IP tool thingy on this board a bit crap? I seem to remember a mod accusing DanB or SnnY of being UKResident afew months back.
Anyhow if by banning IP's you accidentally ban members then you need to stop banning IP's.
Re: What's happened to Dave's Account?
Dave still can't get on the board after re-booting and using teh proxies.
Is there some reason the proxy Dave appears to be stuck with is banned? If it's not something Dave did then this situation is a bit harsh on him :(

it works fine :huh: It's only a bit slow sometimes when you do an IP search (because we have so many IP's stored in the DB)

The IP in question is banned because of BoB!1! .
I banned the IP after talking with Rperry (I think) on MSN about the BoB!1! account.
As soon as I see him online. I will ask him if we can remove the IP from the blocklist. I know the BoB!1! account was used by an old member here but I can't remember if it was TheDave or one of the other 2 that match this IP.

Ah, BoB!1! is Dave's RL mate. They both have the same ISP too.
I think he's a bit of an arse but kinda funny. Anyway, Dave shouldn't have to suffer so thanks for looking into it.
Re: What's happened to Dave's Account?
Any news?
Dave still can't get on here, even with a proxy.
