Issue logging in with Tor

Post by Myridiam »

Due to some restrictions @ my work I installed Tor to use as a sort of proxy.
Now when trying to login using the tor network I got a message right after I logged in
"You have been permanenlty banned, blah blah blah.

Logging in with my regular IP doesn't give this issue, and I can post this message :-)

Still, something seems a bit weird...

(Just to let you know, should other people encounter the same...)

It's because everyone uses tor to avoid IP-bans. Including spambots. But yeah, between ISP issues and this, it would be more sensible to have a less strict IP-ban, checked only on registration.
So, use Vidalia, "new identity" from menu allows you to try another relay.
