Error 1006 Access Denied Message (IP banned)

[johnbelushi]

Forum URL: versuscomicverse.proboards.com/

It appears that one of our members has had their IP banned. Screenshot: i.imgur.com/12YMdBA.jpg

IP is 68.205.71.6

Researching previous support thread (http://support.proboards.com/thread/484468/error-1006-access-denied-message) indicates Proboards system admins will need to unban the IP.

I'll follow up with the user to find out what actions they were doing that may have caused the ban, but as of now, it's all the information I have.

Thanks in advance.

Admins will return on Saturday November 29th at 9am to 5pm PDT

I dont recall doing any of those things. I actually fell asleep with the laptop in bed. I randomly woke up, refreshed and got the message.

The IP isn't listed on stopforumspam, so it's possible he fell asleep and accidentally laid on the refresh button. That's what usually causes something like this.

Go to versuscomicverse.boards.net/admin/security/ban_members and check if his ip is there. If it is remove it or remove his username.

I'm the site admin here and there are no banned members. We're currently engaged in an online game at the board.

He's still banned unless he uses a proxy, which he'd prefer not to do.

It's likely the game; when I play at one that involves a game inside the RP, it oftentimes kicks me off (not a great perk of "bundled" internet/TV packages). I think the others are right-sadly, it will need to wait for Saturday.

Thanks anyway for your help, guys. ^_^ I know I have an account here somewhere but I'm buggered if I can remember what it is. We'll be accommodating of this player while this gets sorted. Appreciate the responses.

An error 1006 is a proboards system ban message. That's why the forum's owner didn't find it on his ban list.

CheatAreZee should be able to look further into this soon.

Hi johnbelushi,

I looked up the IP address and it appears it was blocked automatically by our system due to suspicious activity, which in this case was excessively refreshing a page on the forum. I've gone ahead and removed the IP entry so they should be able to access forums again now. You may want to note to them to allow more time in between refreshes just to ensure it won't occur again

Thanks so much Ricky. I think he fell asleep on his laptop - which could explain it. Butt-dialling the F5 key lol. I will let him (and John Belushi) know.

It's not a problem, have a good weekend
