Cannot Register on Support Forum
« on: May 21, 2023, 06:45:30 am »
I have been unable to register on the support forum under my own screen (Faith) name and ip because it says I am a "spam" poster.
Additionally, I paid once to have my forum (https://underground.smfnew2.com/) listed in your directory ($10) and nothing happened. I did get a refund but I would rather have been listed so people can find the forum.  Also, nothing appears in any search engines. Is there any way to correct this?

If it says spam poster means your ip is in the stopforumspam.com database
The directory fee. I missed that fee but anyways smfnew doesn't have a forum directory so have removed that option.

For search engines
Submit it to google using webmaster tools from google.
And the same for bing with webmaster tools.
It also helps if you add links from other sites to your forum.
There is a sitemap link under Forum Settings you can use in google and bing webmaster tools

Just an additional tip: if you happen to use a VPN, there's a good chance that the VPN's IPs have been used by spammers in the past, thus why you may be in the aforementioned database. In the future, if you encounter an issue like that, either switch VPN servers or disable it altogether. If your bare IP is listed in that database, however, you'll need to get a new IP for yourself. See this article for how to get a new IP without using a VPN.
