cloud flare IP bans
This has apparently been happening to people, and not resolving itself or not quickly.
I do not have a solution to this or know why it's happening. We ourselves are not IP banning people that I know of, not the ones who've contacted me. |

I don't know exactly,but i think the forum block members automatically when they make for example another account with the same IP {this happen to a member of the Dutch section,when he try to help someone else to create a profile on his pc}.
Also if people have a IP ban they can't read the forum,for that the need to use the IP version of the forum ; http://****************/index.php {login isn't posible on this way}. So i think it's a technical protection of the forum,how to change that?I really don't know,in person i have never any problem.When it work good there is no need to change things,when people start doing that the problems come. |

That happened to me a while back.
I got a message that I was being blocked by the owner of the site. I thought it was bizarre as I had gotten pretty much the level of rep I currently have in just a few months. It took me much longer on SF to get that level. Maybe it's because over here I can let my hair down, curse like a pirate, use racial epithets and blow off steam.

I will work on fixing this. Though it would be helpful if people told me what they are doing when it happens. Every thread about it people never tell me.

The Cloudflare IP ban happened to me after clicking "New Posts" three times in under minute. It was user error on my part, but by the time I figured out what I was doing wrong, Cloudflare had banned my IP.

If this happens to anyone going forward let us know: what you were accessing while it happened, if you were loading too many pages in a short period of time, etc. |

This should be resolved now. I had to do some fine tuning.
Thanks for being patient. |
