Swimmer and CA3LE:

Thanks! The ban appears to be lifted.

I am using a personal computer through WildBlue satellite and do use their recommended proxy.  Many WB users do their speed tests @ testmy and frequently post those on a WB dedicated forum.

Damon:  Thanks for the PM and the resolution of this issue.

dlewis23:

Thanks for the link; I sent a PM.

TG:

Thanks for the welcome and to all the others for the replies.

Well, I also get banned even as a member most of the time I try to login.  I am on satellite and I guess I will just have to live with the inconvenience.

Is there a way I can contact the sysops of this forum to get this resolved?

Thanks.

Thanks for the explanations; I understand now what is happening.

I seldom visit testmy.net but the past 2 days, including earlier today,  I got this:

Sorry Guest, you are banned from using this forum!

advertising - banned once before

The computer ID is not the same as mine when I get this message.  I have NEVER advertised on any site.

I was just able to get on this forum (not sure why) so I wanted to find out why I am being banned to see if it can be prevented in the future. 

I ran NAV and got no threats.

Thanks.
