That's a relief. I was worried in case you were upset that I'd slept with your wife.

The joy of the internet. ER you have accessed the site on a number of different IP addresses. This may be because you have accessed the site from different locations and/or your ISP has dynamic IP addresses. What has happened is that through no fault of your own one of those IPs has previously been associated with a spammer and has been banned. There is nothing that can be done about this unless you log the IP number you are using when you can't get in. Then we can have a look at that IP and if the ban isn't triggered often we can clear the ban.

As a general point if you see the message 'Known Spammer', 'Spammer', or no reason is given for banning  you can bet you're not at fault and the ban is through external circumstances as described above.

Members that do get banned generally get a context specific message.

If any member can't gain access the forum do the following.
1) Don't panic
2) Note the ban message if there is one
3) Note the IP address you are attempting to access the forum from using http://www.whatismyip.com/ or equivalent
4) Send an email to tankathaf@gmail and (admin address which I need to find) with the IP and ban message

Any questions?

You couldn't possibly have slept with my wife; she snores too loudly. :D

As long as you keep believing that, we'll all be happy.
Some ideas are so stupid only an intellectual could believe them (Orwell).

When I try to access the site from my phone I get the following message "Sorry Ali, you are banned from using this forum! Spam server, please change your ISP to access this site."  Well I never.

Yes, 3g.  But it always worked before!

Tank

Not much we can do about this sort of thing I'm afraid a spammer has been associated with the IP you logged in on :(

I don't suppose yo know the IP address you came in on?

"We've thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.

I'm surprised she has lasted this long.
I always suspected, it's so obvious when you look back at it all.
