Title: Banned from AirGunNation
Post by: JohanG on October 14, 2024, 06:00:30 AM
I suddenly found I have been banned from AGN. No reason, No message nothing, just banned.
Have this happened to anyone else? How can one contact them?

This is not an uncommon complaint. I believe it has something to do with their IT software, thinking that you're software is that of a spambot.
Have you try reaching out to mods or administrators there?

If you use a VPN, chances are you will be blocked.

To be honest, I'm kinda surprised y'all were able to get on the GTA while running on a VPN.

This is more and more common nowadays.  I switched internet providers this past year and got banned from several sights.  I can still get on the sites if I use my phone with WiFi off, at work, at a hotel, etc.  just not on my home internet.  Not sure how to fix it.

Well I'm back. This is now my old new home. AGN's app has made it unusable for me, among other reasons, I'm pretty much done there.

Back when I did get thrown out of or banned from places, I never got thrown out of or banned from the good places.  Looking back, I feel a little proud of that [chuckling].

Surprisingly, considering that was some shameful $h@!.

If you go to the main website, choose "Help" and "Contact Us" which should allow you to message the website moderator. He was very helpful when I contacted him. Only took a few hours to resolve the issue. Apparently, the forum software is very sensitive to potential Spam and/or fake IP addresses.

Johan,

Is this your profile: https://www.airgunnation.com/members/johang.29908/
From Pietermaritzburg, KZNatal, South Africa

If you are actually banned, I won't be able to send you a PM.  Let me try that.

PM sent without any trouble...

I can log in by using my tablet through a cellphone data provider, but through work we now using VPN and that is what they block.
When you are in blocked mode you cannot even go to the contact area and mail them, you are totally locked out.
I actually reached out to Micheal on Facebook.

Glad to see my home language used here....:-)

Understanding the problem is useful.

What is interesting about AGN's security is that they allow non-members to see attached images and download files.  I actually prefer GTA's protocol where you need to be a member and logged in to see attached images and download files.  However, I can that being able to log on being a bummer because you can't participate.

I hope that Michael responded to you on FB.

Ek is verbaas dat niemand geklaa het oor my Afrikaans nie :).  Ek woon nou 30 jaar aan "hierdie kant" van Bloubergstrand.

 Before you jump off the cliff,  Sometimes some one has been banned and you have picked up their ip number or even host, so try clearing your cach and restarting your comp or what ever you use and try that. I watch the bann logs when i see one showing up i know isnt banned i send him a email and fix it, but in his mind he thinks we banned him and we did not. David

Pretty sure it's Afrikaans. Nice to read other languages even if I don't speak them. I like the variety.

Bingo!

It probably sounds more like Dutch or German that Greek.  I which case, this short clip may amuse you:

Unless you have been banned form there before, I don't understand it.  Perhaps someone else used a similar name before, and left in disgrace.  Or your IP address is somehow associated with a bad apple.

I reported on your profile, asking how someone gets banned before they post anything.  That might get me banned too :)
