Warning from AndyAirgun

Postby Lee G » Wed Jul 07, 2021 7:37 pm

Had the following message from AndyAirgun

Hi Lee, could you do me a favour please?
My network has been hit by a nasty ransomware attack and I went to post a warning on Shootforum...
Anyway, my post has been rejected with the following message:
"An entry on the blacklist may have several reasons:
1. You are a well-known spammer.
2. Last time a well-known spammer was using the dynamic IP address which you got from your ISP (Internet Service Provider), your e-mail address or the username you have choosen.
3. Your ISP is well-known for a lot of spamming customers and is not fighting against spammers enough.
I have no idea if my ransomware attack is related to this but could you pass this on to the mods because it's a bit worrying for me, please?

Hi Lee:

AndyAirgun is definitely banned as no information exists on the this website for him. It's likely that spammer got him banned for the reason below. I'm not sure how to un-ban him. He may have to register again under a new user name. This is the first time that I've had this happen.

1. Last time a well-known spammer was using the dynamic IP address which you got from your ISP (Internet Service Provider), your e-mail address or the username you have choosen.

Andy and AndyI are both active accounts. Perhaps he use the wrong user name.

Afternoon all
Andy's user name was/is AndyI.
He has asked me to publish this:

I can log in to ShootForum.com as I always have, either from from details saved in my browser or manually and also from my phone.
The problem I have is that I can't post a new thread or reply to existing threads. I get the following error messages in bold red:
==
An entry on the blacklist may have several reasons:
1. You are a well-known spammer.
2. Last time a well-known spammer was using the dynamic IP address which you got from your ISP (Internet Service Provider), your e-mail address or the username you have choosen.
3. 3. Your ISP is well-known for a lot of spamming customers and is not fighting against spammers enough.
==
This message is nonsense: I have a business connection with a fixed IP address, it's not dynamic and my ISP would suspend my account if I were spamming! Somehow my IP address seems to have been given a false positive. I have submitted my IP address (79.78.129.133 to numerous blacklist checkers and I can't find it listed anywhere.

When I saw the exchange between Lee G and Flintlock was going nowhere (see Lee G's post under General Chat) I tried to PM Flintlock but I received the following error in bold red:
==
The requested users to be added do not exist.


Can the Mods/Admin please investigate this so that Andy can contribute again?

The IPP address associated with Any's account is in our account management is
109.146.226.237
I don't know how to change the IPP. We need an IT guy.

I did a search by IPP and found AndyI with the correct IPP address. I did a force reactivation. I hope it works. Please try again.

Information
Successfully forced reactivation.
