Has it been sorted yet?
no. because I haven't talked with Rperry yet.
So Dave can stay banned till then ?
Dave isnt banned. the IP is blocked,Originally Posted by DanB
The IP was blocked for a reason. I'm not gonna post why etc...
So if he can't change IP he cannot access FST until I speak with Rperry,
I cannot say yet if we will remove the IP from the blocklist.

Can't you make a decision by talking to the other mods on your team?Originally Posted by {I}{K}{E}
At the moment you make it sound as if the whole matter is up to Rperry when really it should be a team decision for something as important as this.
I have just returned home to this, so sorry that there had to be a wait, I wouldn't have minded at all if the ban had been lifted if it was necessary. The ony confusion here is to why all of a sudden would there be a problem, I know Ike said it was banned recently, but it has been more than a month I believe, would have to check team chat to be sure of the time frame. Dave has been posting on here with his other account all this time , and there never was a problem, so why now

'cos he can't get here no matter what, now.
Dunno' what is wrong, have you managed to do something to the board software to make it better at blocking proxied up ips?
not that I'm aware, so I believe the answer is no.... and the only ip that could have been blocked was blocked on 6/21 btw....Originally Posted by SnnY
His ISP assigns local users to an IP block. Probably in groups of up to 100 users, they all share a T3 connection. There are several hundred such blocks all over the UK and probably about 15 in Dave's area.Originally Posted by RPerry
He will stay connected to that hub (and therefore IP address) until such a time as he disconnects and when reconnecting there is no space at that particular hib - he will then get connected to one of his ISP's other T3lines and share that with several other users. Only then will he get a different IP.
His IP could switch everytime he disconnects or never, depending on the availability of a slot in the last hub he connected to.
Right - I may have got some facts and figures wrong there as it's from memory but that's basically the way it works. The upshot is that Dave isn't using a proxy and could be using the very same IP that BoB!1! used when he was banned some time ago.
Please lift the ban from the IP he is using because it's not really fair for him to get punished for what some other user did.
