Sorry I know this question is not about MDS but I hope it will be allowed.
I began to read a thread about a missing person Amy Bradley (who vanished off a cruise ship) as a non member but it only would let me read so much before it said if i wanted to continue i had to join.
I joined and continued to read. I did not even post so i know i have not offended anyone or defo not been trolling.
In hardly any time i got blocked saying i was banned due to a questionable IP address. I joined twice more using different email addresses and the same thing happened.
I messaged the admin and they replied saying 'it's no use re-joining because the same thing will keep on happening until you get an IP address. You don't have one we can see'
They suggested maybe I had a shield on it but I have never heard of this. I googled and saw a shield has to be downloaded.
I have never had trouble joining another site ever. I have not had problems here. It is also a vBulletin powered site.
I am so not computer savvy and I do not understand this.
I can see my IP address in my settings.
Any advice will be much appreciated.
Thankyou in advance
