| 1143285 | 2010-10-11 00:06:00 | I remember a few years ago I was banned from a gaming site, nothing serious just got modded too many times over the years. Rebooted modem, made sure IP addy was different and signed up with a new email and username. Banned almost straight away. Tried again, new email, ip, username, banned again. Then I realized I was using the same password as my original account. New password and bam, they didn't suspect a thing. I wonder how many people actually use a completely different password if they create a new account, because IMO that is a very cunning way of doing it. |

| 1143287 | 2010-10-11 04:17:00 | The reason I asked is that my neighbor bought a used laptop and for some reason she is banned from places that she is visiting for the first time. I have four neighbor/users on my WIFI, and I am sure that it's not MY modem - so I was wondering if it's the laptop that's bad. |

| 1143289 | 2010-10-11 05:20:00 | My thoughts exactly. We're not forcing users to come here if they dislike the moderation. It's not like they paid for this service ;) Still, without the members, we'd just have chiefs and no Indians, therefor no forums... Enough of the racial slurs please Chill |

| 1143294 | 2010-10-11 10:27:00 | Bans aren't hard to get around (at least for viewing the forum). I know when I've been banned, I just force a logout, and read away. I don't think that's breaking any rules, is it? But with the right knowledge (Tor, anyone?) you could hide quite well. But then again I don't think this forum is big enough for people to bother with, after a while they'll just give up. Look at angry. Thank god this isn't similar to 4chan. A few people have written and publicly shared auto-spammers for that site, so any moron can flood it with whatever they like. I shudder to think... |
