Title: Banned from forum ???
Post by: holtadit on March 30, 2010, 12:40:39 pm
When i try to log on using IE8 I receive a message from the forum saying:


Sorry Ari Ben Canaan, you have been banned from using this forum.


Whats up with that ? I m using chrome right now...

Does your IP address change when you are using Internet Explorer from the one you using in google chrome?

If that's even possible this might mean that you got trapped with a banned member's IP address.

This link shows your IP http://whatismyipaddress.com/ (do not post your IP in public)

but I can see your IP address. I dont know, you are not there in the ban list.

I will ask Astar maybe.

Yes I think the same.

Meaning that when we banned a person on his IP address, your IP was similar to his, so you also got banned.

I tracked you, but you had many members having the same IP as you. I will look for which one of them is banned and ill not ban on IP address. I will just try.

Open command prompt.

Type "ipconfig /release". Press enter. Then try logging in whenever the problem occurs.

Simply dont use IE, use firefox instead.
Title: Re: Banned from forum ???
Post by: $tyli$h Executive on March 31, 2010, 04:55:25 pm
Oh sorry, there was a mistake.

Type "ipconfig /release" (without the quotes, on the command line by itself).
Type "ipconfig /renew" (without the quotes, on the command line by itself).

This will change your IP automatically

Post by: Saladin on March 31, 2010, 05:10:20 pm
actually, that will simply see if the ip has changed, but well, u can try using a proxy.

But the renew shud work, cud u previously log onto here with IE8 b4?

I think the cause of this problem is because I switched from firefox to IE recently. I am back to using firefox now.

Everything seems good.

All the SF ppl im new at this so i got questions...u noe how in the rules it said tht after 24 hours of the exam they said tht v could discuss...the 24hours refers to both us and the other person or only them...cuz i was asking a question n one of u guys said "v r watching"i thought u could discuss ...so basically i dont get the rules ryt ...can u or not?
Title: Re: Banned from forum ???
Post by: holtadit on April 07, 2010, 05:32:05 pm
It must be 24 hours after the examination for both you and the person you are discussing with.

Only after this time period can you start to discuss questions. After 24 hours you will have finished the exam already, hence no cheating can take place.


I said that ''we are watching' to send  a message to anyone atempting to pass on info to you.

If you have not done the exam yet and you attempt to gain information regarding certain question you will be banned.
