Title: The forum accuses me of being a spammer Post by: Rina Ascura on January 14, 2013, 02:21:52 AM Every other time I visit Saberforum, it claims that spam is being sent from my IP address, and demands me to answer humiliating questions to prove I am not a bot. What the hell? I never made even one forbidden post in this forum! I have an antivirus program that updates regularly. Will it, please, STOP accusing me and remember that presumption of innocence exists?

You might want to send a PM to either Ultra or Deep as it might be a small program flaw that they can fix or have it further investigated. If you are not allowed to send PM's, you can email them directly at [email protected].

It happened to me once on another forum site. They were having trouble from a guy named Hell Kaiser who had created 30 Gmail accounts to spam people to buy his products over the company that was running forum. To lock him out, they locked out all Gmail accounts. Aggravating but a necessary precaution sometimes.

Hope things get fixed for you@Rina.
Title: Re: The forum accuses me of being a spammer Post by: eerockk on January 15, 2013, 07:05:21 PM I know that a lot of *.ru domains are blocked in the US to shut down spamming. I wonder if the forum's filters are set to include .ru domains by default? If so, an email to Deep requesting an exception in the spam filter should clear that up right away.

I have enjoyed seeing your interactions while trying to catch up from not logging on for 4 days. Also, please let us know what the issues ultimately is so that if we see it in the future, we can better direct new arrivals on how to proceed.
