Title: Iv been BANNED from the site!!!!!!
Post by: DragoSapien on January 20, 2014, 09:39:21 PM
Hope this is in the right place. Everything looks good here on the site with my computer, But if I log on with my phone it says,

"Sorry DragpSapien, you are banned from using this forum! This ban is not set to expire."

WHY!!!!!!!  What did I say or do?  Something not right. This was done by a  "Bad Behavior".

If banning is done by username crossed linked with an IP address, and a person used a dynamic address that your phone also accessed, it's possible that it has crosslinked your phone, or dropped a "banned" cookie in your cookie jar. 
Have you tried clearing all cookies on the smartphone?

I can't see anywhere it indicates you are banned. If you still have problems let us know.

Looks like thats what it was. I have a new phone now and dont have that problem now.  I like this site and was glad it wasn't real.

We have some automated banning systems to stop spammers. As well as we ban by IP address from time to time. Honestly, I don't think we have had any bad behavior bans. You probably just got caught up with a spammers IP or part of a larger block.

You can e-mail me directly webmaster@preparedham.com if you have issues in the future.
