It says my IP is banned and I can not post on my forum...
« on: July 07, 2011, 12:03:34 pm »
When I try to post anything on my board, I get the following message:

Your IP is Banned

Your IP address has been banned by our system for spamming. You can't post on any of our hosted forums.
Why?

The IP address 131.191.45.157 was banned on Jul 3, 2011 for spamming one of our forums.

This ban was generated manually by an SMFNEW Administrator. We checked what you were trying to post and it was flagged as inappropriate. We also verified that your IP address was associated with forum spam.

The reason for this specific ban: You have posted material that violated our terms of service.



I have followed the instructions MULTIPLE times and it says I am unbanned each and every time but I am not! I still can not post.  My forum manager says that I am not listed as banned on her end.  What can I do?  Following the instructions has not given me any results and I'd really like to post! 

Thanks.

Have you checked your emails? You need to read the email before you will get unbanned,

Thanks

Yes, my email says:

Your appeal has been successful and you have been unbanned. We urge you to continue to read the whole email as we have important information for you.

Your ban was triggered due to your IP being registered on a global blacklist. You should request for it to be removed, to avoid this ever happening again.

http://www.stopforumspam.com/removal

SMFNEW Administrators WILL review this appeal shortly, as your appeal has not triggered an Administrator verification.


However, if I go to that stopforumspam site it says: "Sorry, due to issues with removing entries from the database, Ive had to take this page down for testing"  What else am I supposed to do?

Ask on stopforumspam's forum how to do this :)

Well, I contacted supportforum, they sent me an email saying my IP had been removed. I was able to post exactly THREE times and now I am rebanned.


UGH!
