    I'm confused!

    I singed up here less than a week ago,

    I had a good half day here, then I seem to have gotten IP banned.

    I try to log on now, and I am successful. I see I have a warning for profanity, and it is not even an infraction. What is going on?

    Thanks,

    Kess

    If you are using a proxy IP from overseas the system can ID it associated with a spamming account and it can get banned.

    Suggestion would be not to use proxy IPs

      Ah, thank you. I was indeed using a VPN in Ukraine.

              Not from you guys, just the questionable websites I visit from time to time.

                I was using one for a while too, forget which one.

                    Who he really is:

                    knightly, Canadian1911, twiggy, nooneatall, carcinogenius, et al.

                    Always does a new intro though in an attempt to deceive everyone.

                      Can I ask, why is this not encrypted (https)?

                        Last VPN I run into was a girl asking for money to buy a plane ticket to come live with me.

                            Yes, a lot of major websites are encrypted and for good reason. An unencrypted website, is a vulnerable website.

                              Perhaps you need to spend some time understanding encryption. Merry Christmas!
