Last couple of nights from my home address it says my IP is banned. Any ideas why?
use a proxy.
sometimes if someone gets banned their whole ip range gets banned with them making innocent people suffer too
he shouldn't have to
GazM's right, it's most likely the AOL IPs you are using. We do try not to ban AOL IPs because of this problem but occasionally in our rush to get rid of the latest pillock one slips through the net. I'm not about to go through the 200 or so banned IPs and ranges that are banned to see which ones are AOL as that involves individually searching each of them but have checked that none of your past IPs are on the banned list.Last couple of nights from my home address it says my IP is banned.

Okay. Thanks.GazM's right, it's most likely the AOL IPs you are using.

If it happens again please note down your IP address and PM it to myself or one of the other admin/mods so it can be removed from the list. As Gaz says, if you reboot the router your IP will change and you should be able to get back in. If you want someone to thank for this sort of trouble then blame the likes of Tommy, Kofi, Slabber, Welshred and all the other assorted cocktards who reregister on a regular basis and make policing the newbie forum about as much fun as a dose of clap.
actually your IP is bouncing around a lot so PM me the specific one so that i can check
why don't you lot let qualified people answer the questions?
Can only think something was blocking the route before the caf, which obviously it's difficult to do anything about
AOL assigns their IP addresses over a very large range and at random. It's easy to get a new IP address on AOL - disconnect/reconnect.Whats the problem with AOL IPs?
Is it just that most of the idiots who get banned tend to be AOL subscribers so when the Admins ban them they ban a whole IP range and in turn ban a host of innocent caftards who happen to be in the same IP range?
Or is the consensus that their is a larger issue with AOL itself?
