Banned

[samiow]

Hello,

Just after some help,Advice.

After looking at website links I clicked on FlightRadar24 and after browsing decided to register. I received a email which I had to activate which I did and then logged in only to find this..

Bulletin Message

You have been banned for the following reason:
spammer i.p.

Date the ban will be lifted: Never


To be honest it took me back a little as I have never been banned before moreover never classed as a spammer.!!!

I am a member or various forums and have never had a problem with myself or my email address which i have had now for quite a few years.

I also received a welcome email , which I don't understand why they would class my email address as a spammer. sure why reply to a spammer address ( which i'm not)

I have replied to there welcome email asking why they class me as a spammer.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated and I don't really want my email address to be classed as such....

Regards,

Sam

I don't really understand,  if you posted a message here you cannot be banned,  are you talking about this forum or another one.

You might have a variety of DNSChanger malware on your router (rather than your pc) 

It could mean that you are unaware anything's changed, but on the Forum end your showing up as a spammer.

Sometimes the malware cloaks itself and goes into sleep mode, so that it can evade detection, at other times it will be active.

Your ordinary security software won't pick this bug up, as it's likely resident on your router and not your pc. You will probably have to get your isp to help you, or take it to a decent computer engineer.

You can check for dodgy DNS server addresses by typing in ipconfig/all in the "Run" box in your Windows "Start" menu. Although this is not always a foolproof way of checking for the malware.

Thank you Viking9, I should read the posts more carefully.

I believe that Anmer (Radarspotting.com Owner) is friendly with the owner of Flight radar 24, I am sure that he will step in to help upon his return.

Thanks for your reply which I have noted, The only thing is that this is the first time it has happened and I would have thought that all my other forums which i am in would have picked up on it and acted the same way???


Thanks for your advice though.

Hi Sam

I'm away this week, back Friday when I'll speak to FR24 as Jamie has suggested.

[samiow]

Hello Anmer,

Thanks for that, Not quite sure why they have considered me a spammer

I really appreciate it.

Cheers,

Sam.

Now I'm back home I've made contact with FR24 and hope to have some news later.

Hi Samiow.

Many apologies for banning you by mistake, Flightradar24 has a huge amount of spammers joining everyday and i was in the process of banning someone with a similar username and selected yours in error.

I have sent you a PM on the Forum.

Thanks for helping out Mike.
