Tim please help...
« on: December 14, 2009, 10:09:20 AM »
I'm putting this through on my phone, but on my computer it won't let me see or post anyhing.  It says I'm banned from using this forum, chinese spammer. 

What in the world is going on?

It appears the IP you used was a banned IP at one time, I removed the ban. I was wondering if that would ever happen, it did!!  ::)

Hmmm, now you're online and the new IP is that of a Ukraine spammer!  ???

I sent him a PM and advised running spyware along with antivirus. It sounds like a Trojan Horse downloaded via e-mail or other unsafe website.

It happens all the time.

The Adm at Chasing Game was banned from another gun board that was and advertiser  I think.  Same reason. A spammer hacked his IP address.

Mrgd's post history shows he's used many IPs from all over the world tho, many are spammers. Matt thinks he may be using a proxy server or anonymizer which isn't going to be allowed.

I restored the banned IP since it had a bunch of hits, so expect more ban messages if you connect using that IP again, only two were yours.

I have turned off the proxy.  That's no problem.  I was advised to go that route from work, but I cleared connecting normally with the i.t. folks.  Sorry for the confusion.
