DO NOT USE DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time it is unfortunately not possible to white list users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

Banned off Facebook (resolved)

More stupidness.. Other than moderate 3 channels and post funny cat videos.. Apparently that was enough.

I had like 39 friends in my list. Profile was hidden as much as possible. Other than a occasional post on atari st fans.. That was it.

Years ago I got banned for poking to many people.. Adding friends to quickly ( yeah adding your friends on a social network gets you banned) . plus many other equally dumb things.

I don't really care that much. It was going to happen again at some point. A bit annoying as I only really keept in touch with some old work mates who will wonder where I've gone which sucks. I ran a group for them to keep in touch as well.

Yeah give Facebook my mugshot. No thanks. It's AI image recognition will get me associated with some terrorist group and I'll end up on some government watch list or something!!
Confirm your identity with a video selfie
To make sure that you're a real person, we need you to record a video selfie. We'll ask you to move your head during the recording to help us capture your face at different angles.
:sigh:

YouTube will likely be next. I removed a ton of throwaway content already due to-no views. I guess if anyone wants to clone any remaining videos then it be a good time to do so.

This is all why I never bothered with YouTube. To easy to get banned. If your making money, your screwed. Spend time making content turns into time wasted.

Cloudflare blocked me from reddit this past week. WHY? I think the only thing I ever posted was Sony xm4 headphones fix. Cloudflare also blocking me from submitting IP abuse reports to abuseipdb.

The the whole Microsoft banning which I fought for years!! Ebay.... PayPal.. It never feking ends!!

Some may remember Google banned me a few months ago. Sign of the times.. Not good. Well back to X then. Don't think there's anything else left to be banned from now :roll:

Ah, well, Reddit has banned access to many threads, including retro computing, due to the impact of the Online Safety Act.

Madness. Its all just gone way too far. Like I said before many times, small forums like this one are just hanging by a thread these days.

I suppose I should mention, unless I specify otherwise, if this forum does vanish, it won't be my own doing.

We will end up needing peoples ID's, face scans, passport and utility bills, phone numbers, to log into this forum at this rate. Then ill get done for keeping peoples personal info which I am trying very hard not to do !
