Title: I've been Banned!
Post by: ruSTynutz on June 08, 2025, 06:04:42 PM

Not sure what is going on but it appears I've been banned  :eek

(https://www.imghostr.net/images/2025/06/08/cc250fe09401d98b328cb8699d088f51.jpg)

I get this message when I try to access the forum using the "Edge" or "Brave" browsers yet I'm able to access the forum if I use my phone, laptop or if I use an "in private window" on my desktop computer.
Has any one else experienced this issue?  :popcorn

It may be because of using a banned VPN. I will have a look

OK, the ban was due to the IP address triggering a ban.

You banning has been removed, and the old ban..

You may need to go in to the cookies of those browsers, search for the ozstoc cookies and delete them to gain access again.

This can be a problem if you use VPNs, as Scammers page hijackers use them when trying to get access

They want you to tone down your use of caps.
