Title: IP Spam
Post by: Sara50840 on December 15, 2013, 11:00:44 pm

Occasionally when I log onto my forum, Amazing Grace (http://amazinggrace.createaforum.com), it will say that my IP has been reported as spam, and I have to insert in a code to access MY OWN forum.  How do I fix this?  It has happened twice now.

You need to answer the code each time that means your IP changes.

Odd, it never happened to me before.

Are you able to post a screenshot?

It only happens occasionally, but I'll try to screenshot it next time it happens.

google what is your ip.

Save it and the next time it happens google your ip again and see if it is the same.

The server spam filter is blocking members, mods.  They have to pass their BS everytime too.

I just wonder how many new members cant get signed up due to this spam filter................Been told by 1 so far that contacted me on another site.

Yes it can happen. They are probably on the database of http://www.stopforumspam.com

If we did not use it forums would be a lot slower and have more spam problems

If you have a forum url that you can give I can also try to remove antispam from your forum as well as an option
