[midospirit]

Wait, if you posted picture, how does it log our ip adress ?

yes how?

[General2k]

I dont know if that is how they did it but that is one of the possibilities.
The last time there was a ban like this I told people how it was done and no one beleived me, and told me it was not possible. Well now I just proved it is possible.

You can get the server host to log IPs for you, but not all log them, and even if they do, the normal user can't access them.

But yeah, some things can log your IPs. For example, there are services that help people see IPs of people who access their Xanga blogs.

Panther you could use a proxy to browse this page, thats the only thing I can think of.
Corey when you access anything your ip address is logged into a log file for example
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - - [17/Dec/2006:14:26:22 -0800] "GET <some file> HTTP/1.1" 200 81940

hmmm ok, and a proxy is what?

[Shadowfire]

A service that spoofs your IP. Private trackers can detect them and ban you for using them, so don't bother using them at their sites. But I guess you can use it at this site if you plan to trade. There are tons of lists of public anonymizing proxies. Just Google.

ok thanks, will check this out

WOW Thanks for the explanation dude. The man is a genius. 5hit i guess we all have to watch out then huh? dvhrld since you're so smart would it be possible to find out who is reporting everyone here?

[Shadowfire]

It could directly be a mod or admin there, since I see no posts in their publicity thread about this.

//: Although I don't exactly understand why they would take away invites for giving them away to good -trusted- users who show good ratio proofs. It's not trading at all, and it can potentially bring in good members.

Yes Detale if they used this method it would be possible to narrow it down to a few users. I started to do it to your thread and out of the first 2 pages I came out with a possibility of 4 users, and quite there because I didnt want to start pointing fingers and false accusations.
