ok I just made a new account, i tried to reply to both of you, but got message that I’ve been banned from the forum. I don’t know for what reason.

+1 for the banned message. I am currently banned on my gaekwad account, so this is a new temporary account. I would be grateful if someone could unban me, assuming I haven’t committed a bannable offence. I emailed the [removed] email address about 8-9 hours ago, but haven’t heard back yet.

Edit. removed the email address -Gocom

Hi guys

None of your accounts appear in the banned list. The messages might be because of the spam prevention measures. I hope that Jukka might be able to help re sorting this one out.

Neither of you is personally banned; its the IP address. Seemingly, one of the admins (don’t know how, as the author isn’t saved with the record) had banned ’0.0.0.0’ IP address by accident. As we do not harvest personal information, our forum server sees all our verified users using that non-existent address (this prevents FluxBB from storing IP data). As you might imagine this action then successfully had banned us all from the forum.

I’ve removed the ban record and you all should once again have access to the forums.

Dear admins, do not use the ‘ban’ option when removing users and spammers. Use the delete one. If you do ban an user, do not ban the IP address of ’0.0.0.0’. FluxBB’s ban option doesn’t ban users, it bans IP and emails, plus blacklists the username. All banning and user-data clean up is done automatically by bot. The bans the bot does are not permanent either.

Once a week we clear logs and old unverified account from the server.

You wouldn’t be able to find it from there by username. FluxBB’s ban option doesn’t ban users; it bans IP addresses and emails. When you ban an user it associates the username it with the ban record, that then blacklistes the name and prevents it from being used in the future.

The messages might be because of the spam prevention measures.

Just simple accident done by one of the admins. Had us all banned by IP. Who of you is banning users? Don’t ban, but delete.

Maybe it is your ip?

We don’t collect IP addresses of members. All validated accounts (member and above) will not send any personal information to the server. Their requests all show up as coming from ’0.0.0.0’.

email address about 8-9 hours ago, but haven’t heard back yet.

I’m not sure that address even exits, or who would be reading it. We probably should setup support email for the forum and set up a mailing list to it. I’m not even sure if we have DNS set up properly to receive emails from that address. The crazy it sound, we don’t actually own ‘textpattern.com’ domain.

Don’t ban me bro — next update will prevent admins from banning certain IPs.

thx · 2013-12-24 22:31:50

am i back? :)

I e-mailed to that address too, didn’t do much.

If in the future someone gets tired of my troubleshooting questions, just tell me straight ;)

Lol, don’t worry, we love troubleshooting questions! ;)

BTW Jukka, I never ban, I only delete (old instruction from Ruud).

After transferring a site to other hosting I had db from txp 4.5.5 but files from 4.5.4 (there was an old installation already there) so I had the same problem. After I replace txp 4.5.4 with 4.5.5, all was Ok.

hmm, there’s no way to check but this might’ve been it. In any case, I’ve wiped the old files out and started afresh.

I still need to figure out why txp wasn’t/isn’t working on the subdomain, but no rush (also christmas). Thanks for the help, all.
