Banned for spamming links?
« on: November 03, 2015, 01:58:06 PM »
For some reason when I try to log onto the forum via Tapatalk on my phone I get a message saying I've been banned for spamming links.  I've uninstalled, reinstalled, logged out, logged in, but still receive this message.  Anyone run into this issue?

You're probably using the same IP that a banned spammer used.  PM me the exact text of the message and date/time you tried to log in, I can probably fix.

If you visit the forums on that same phone, but through the browser (chrome or safari or whatever) does it work?

Make sure you clear all cookies/temporary files.

This happens in both tapa talk and on safari on my iPhone 5.

The message is

Sorry Jags4186, you are banned from using this forum!  Spamming links to your site without contributing content.  This ban is not set to expire.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
