Hi gents.

No idea why but I can no longer view the forums from my home Wi-Fi as says my IP is banned. Have never had multiple accounts etc so very confused. Any ideas, it only started the other day?

Nope. I can try to look into it if you PM me the IP in question.

IP bans aren't all that common, though, for the very reason that you've started this thread - we don't want to catch up the innocent in a ban of spammers. Make sure this is a message you're getting from 2+2 and not something that could be non-2+2 related.

Not sure this is correct. Most of our spammers create accounts using vpns/proxy servers (the only ones who don't are posting pretty much from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, or Korea). If you create an account from a vpn or proxy server that ties to spammers, your account may get banned immediately.

VPN certainly is a great solution for spammers. Not sure about recommending it as a solution for legit users though.
