Accessing the forum with a VPN (Have I been banned!?)
« on: August 19, 2025, 03:57:24 PM »

No, you've not been banned.

With the sudden increase of VPN users (Virtual Private Network) some members may find they have been 'banned' - but don't worry, you're not banned. You will see this 'banned' message if your internet address is on our banned list. (We have a list of naughty countries where the spammers come from) If this happens, you can turn off your VPN or change the country you're being routed through.

If you are similarly encountering trouble registering, take the same action. If you are in the UK, it's best to register with your VPN off.
