Title: Mistaken as a spammer
Post by: Master_of_the_blade on February 22, 2013, 01:51:06 am

I live in India and when I try to log into HLP from my school or another device where I hadn't previously logged in, I get the 'Error has occured' page with me being a spammer and asking me to GTFO.
I cleared the cookies and cache from my brower on both phone and PC and, now, I get the same error.
Currently, I'm using a proxy server in Chicago.

Don't worry, it was certainly nothing against you. Our anti-spam system is a bit... overzealous at times. I'm sure the admins will handle your case soon.

Also, posting your e-mail in plain text is s recipe to receive loads of spam.  Try doing something like this: alafalafel <at> ymail.com

Admins, could you PLEASE hurry up with this? I can't keep using proxies all the time. They're quite slow.

Since you've been using proxies, there are a lot of IP addresses associated with your activity here.

Please send me a PM with what your actual home world-facing IP address is or ISP IP-Range so that I can address the issue for you.

Goober enforced a ban that apparently serves the majority of the nation of India. My apologies.

You have been accidentally hit by the Spam Hammer. Not to be confused with the mighty Ban Hammer of internet justice, the Spam Hammer is a rogue cop with an unnatural hatred of bots.
