I’m pretty sure I haven’t done anything to get myself banned. Mods, a little help please?
FYI, they didn’t click a button that said “IP ban Shakes’ phone” so you’re going to have to provide more information before they can do anything. Here’s what you do:
-
Type “what is my ip” into Google from your phone. Google should just print your IP address. If it doesn’t for some reason, click one of the sites that pops up.
-
PM that IP address to one of the admins.
- Profit.
Thanks Giraffe.
PM sent.
I think the new version of vBulletin has that feature as standard, FYI.
Is there no way to set up IP bans that exclude non-banned members? I’ve seen it on other websites (like Wikipedia).
Not on vBulletin. The IP ban feature is wholly separate from the usergroups, which is what determines banning.
Fortunately for Shakes, we’re two full versions behind. I think the hamsters just have a chalkboard with a list of banned IP addresses.
Shakes, if you hadn’t have butt dialed every time you passed gas, you never would have been banned for threat shartting.
Heh.
HEY! We GOT them a whiteboard and an eraser. Surely that counts as a full upgrade from a chalkboard.
Does it still say Kick/Ban at the top?
Ya’ know, it’s not even 9am yet and all ready I can say the most regretful thing I’m gonna do or did do today is look up what the word ‘shart’ means. :smack:
Thanks Muffin!
I keep tellin’ y’all to get capybaras, but no… :smack:
Hell, we’ve NEVER had a Kick button. We’ve always had to use just plain Ban. And we LIKE it.
Might not be a bad idea. Those guys are much more muscular than the hamsters. Even a guinea pig would be an improvement.
More seriously, though, I remember the days when Ed or one of the other guys in Chicago would have to manually reboot the board at 3 PM Central…EVERY SINGLE DAY. Somehow, whenever people wax nostalgic about Ye Goode Ole Dayes of the Dope, when there were a lot more Es floating around, the daily board fail is never remembered fondly.
