Why do forum owners behave in this way

    I often encounter so many problems with the big forum players. The first problem that I encounter starts with the registration itself. And the reason they display is that they do not allow spammers. This is what is the catual thing. I have a dynmaic IP and every IP I am assigned every time I connect to the internet is listed in one or the other black lists. And I am denied the right to register. I don't underastnd what to do. I really wish to participate in many forums but I am denied access everywhere.

    The second problem comes after registration. I see that many members post one line answers to many of the questions asked. But they are not banned because they have a good post count. But when I do the same thing and post some 20-30 replies at one strech(all of them are meaningful) I get abnned permanently. What do I di in such situations.

    I am talking here about other forums and not about Digital Point.

    Then don't join those forums, they are their forums, they can do what the hell they want. Deal with it.

    If you have heaps of issues with your IP try using a VPN. But, that can find you with the same issues...

    There's many free and paid VPNs out there (they change your IP address).

    Got all of a morning's emails returned to me couple of weeks back, due to the IP I'd been assigned being on a black list. ISP suggested I pay extra to get a static IP from them, but ended up just unplugging the router while I made coffee. By the time it came back on we'd been moved to a different IP and problem solved!

    Move to a country that 99% of the Internet traffic from that country isn't from spammers. :)

    Lol !!!

    I think, that country still does not exists :p

    BTW OP, why dont you try some internet cafe, if you cannot get a static ip connection. Make sure you only use that particular cafe and the computer, so you will never have any sign in problems. Also if you can get a portable connection, try getting it for your laptop so you will never have such issues.

    As per the one liner comments are concerned, well honey, you have to be talking about the topic in the thread and not just any crap. Also if you are just posting 20-30 posts with just one liners, even I would ban you, if I would be an admin :p

    I think its just about the location. You should try to use VPN or don't join the forums.
