Thought I Was Banned

[liquido 1,393]

I thought I would post a to[ic about motorbike rentals in Bogo.I went to the site here and it pops up BANNED..This profile has been banned..Im thinking what the hell did I say or do?Im using Firefox and have this add-on called SetupVPN which is a free VPN..I was previously using that to watch a sports clip.Im thinking if I disable it and retry going to LINC just maybe thats the reason it said Bannned..Now mind you I really never logout from LINC..Well as soon as I did the disable I was able to go to the site..I guess that this site detects VPN's and if your a naughty boy they got you....haha

The site doesn't discriminate against VPNs.

However there could be an IP Address that it's blocking because it is on a spam list or the forums ban list because it was used by a member who has been banned.

I've checked and the IP Address you were using is on the ban list.

Never..been a member since 2006

Try logging on to the site with a VPN and see if it says your banned?  But make sure your signed into LINC prior..

Could be that LINC ban on the IP

Did the  BANNED pop up even before you did try any login ?

SetupVPN could have given you an IP, that was previously banned

I was logged in to LINC before I went to the LINC site..I never really log out..Like I said I disconnected from the setupVPN and was able to get to the LINC site with no problem..

I have found on many many occasions that when I went to log in I got a sign saying that I was banned.   

I have no idea at all why I am so unlucky that I always get these signs.  I think  maybe it is a forum bias against Canadians ???

You may know a lot but I'm waiting for Whippy to comment since he's the expert on this subject.
