Hi mate

Sent you a message yesterday.

Can you or one of your fellow admins let me know what happened please?

Not a big deal I know but it was massively frustrating not being able to get on the board.

Thanks for any help bud

PS Feel free to completely delete this thread once one of you has answered

Not an admin or anything and probably being nosey.
Could you not get on because it said you've been 'banned'? If so happens occasionally as some kind of glitch. There are threads from time to time on it.

Hi 1MM

Yeah, was just coming up with a mostly blank white page saying "You are banned from this forum"

Thought it might have been an error of some kind, sent Big Daddy G a DM yesterday but not answered yet.

Not a big deal at all, I was just (VERY) surprised as I've never had a warning let alone a yellow card lol

Thanks for the info bud

You weren't banned pal. I've had a repeated Error message accessing the site on occasion before and it stating I was banned. Happened for years on different phones. Never had it via the desktop web browser. Do you use an app called Tapatalk to access the site or..? How'd you generally view?

Either way. Call it a glitch in the matrix, you deffo weren't banned though

Whenever I've had it, it's been when I'm using data or public WiFi.

I assume it's an IP address thing as when I once couldn't access DATM on a pub's WiFi my mate also had exactly the same issue. Presumably, some places are on the naughty list because of what previous posters have done.

Without meaning to get really geeky, Proboards approach of banning by IP address is fundamentally flawed. It's less like a home address, and more like a hotel you're staying in on an Interail trip. If you can't get on at home over WiFi but can via your phone on a cellular network, then you know you're not banned - it's just Proboards taking a flawed approach. It'll generally sort itself out; most/many IP addresses change.

RR: No clue how my tablet accesses the site, originally just searched on Google when I first got the tablet, a Zeisoo (think that's how it's spelt) cheapo product.

I&B: Only ever really access this site at home (tablet) or at my parents' on a Sunday (laptop), don't usually trust public WiFi anyway.

Thanks for all your input fellas (or ladies) I'll just take it as a cat walking past twice and I took the blue AND the red pill

Edit: Thanks Hukkas, if it happens again I'll know not to panic or think are admins playing at hahaha

Should add - if you happen to live in Kent, I think the whole county has been banned thanks to a former favourite creating so many extra accounts. But then, if you like in Kent, you've got bigger problems than not being able to access DATM

Thanks to all for answering - I've been off here over the weekend but the answers above are all correct.
