My IP blocked?

[Torakhan]

I went to change some account details for myself and got this message:

Your IP 24.247.96.19 or your username N/A or your e-mail address N/A has been blocked because it is blacklisted. For details please see http://www.stopforumspam.com/api?ip=24.247.96.19.
An entry on the blacklist may have several reasons:
1. You are a well-known spammer.
2. Last time a well-known spammer was using the dynamic IP address which you got from your ISP (Internet Service Provider), your e-mail address or the username you have choosen.
3. Your ISP is well-known for a lot of spamming customers and is not fighting against spammers enough.

Now, I don't have a static IP, so it could be that the IP had been used before on that list, but it seems strange that I can post, but I can't update my personal details.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Wow that message doesnt even sound very professionally crafted, was it the forum host that showed that message?

[Torakhan]

It comes up as an error message when I try to modify my account, but not when I go to post a message. I don't know why it would let a Spammer account post messages, but not modify their account... so maybe it's a bug?

I haven't had that problem, but probably 'cause I'm not a spammer like you.

I am trying to figure this out, incidentally.

I've sent StopForumSpam a request to remove my IP from their database.

I haven't been on in a while, so apologies for missing this. Is the problem still happening? If so, I did some research in the logs.

You're being blocked by the barracudacentral.org list. You can file for removal here: http://www.barracudacentral.org/rbl/rem ... .247.96.19

We have 6887 pages of blocked spam IPs and registrations with 50 results per page (344,350 blocks!), so I'm sure a couple errors are in there.

I will play with the settings and see if I can whitelist you until you get removed from the blocklist.

Any questions, feel free to PM me!
