[resolved] Why was my account banned?

Nuke Cadet Joined: Aug 11, 2004 Posts: 5

I always love this site as it has MANY helpful peopel in it.
It also have TONS of great stuff for PhP-Nuke, which I am trying to learn.

So I am at a lost when my account somehow got banned.
Why is this so?
I know I have not done anything wrong.

Original account username:
Kilim

You can contact me at kilim@sinvida.net if needed.
I am just so very confused why my account is banned w/o any warnings at all or reason Sad

Banned how? Through Fortress? Perhaps that certain IP was used for hacking and it was stopped and blocked.

I've no idea why you have been banned, it was a username ban so wasnt automatic.
Ill see if I can find out who and why it was done.

Hrm...

I'm developing a custom Google Search center block on my site. One of the things it does is search Nuke Cops. So, I entered 'Kilim banned'. Here's the URL of the search if you're interested:

View Google Search DSL on Nuke Cops for 'Kilim banned'

The results turned up this thread:

In that thread, you will see the following:

Mike, you and all your aliases are banned:

Users posting from this IP

Kilim [ 15 Posts ]

MikieMouse [ 6 Posts ]

amped [ 5 Posts ]

zanis [ 3 Posts ]

squiresmk2 [ 3 Posts ]

ado [ 1 Post ]

I did a little research. Some simple IP lookup reveals many of these posts to be coming from the IBM Almaden Research Center in West Haven, Connecticut.

It seems highly unlikely that all these ppl work at the same place, thus ZX put 2+2 together and banned the whole lot.

I reconize one of the names on that list, which explains the why, to me at least.

Edit: The first nick on that list IS NOT Rainbow Bright. It's b-u-r-n-w-a-v-e (Rainbow Brite) . Why is that nick being censored? I know for a fact the guy has trolled the forums here as well as the forums on my own site

Now I reconize 2 names on that list.

If I remember, there was a little backstabbing going on - stuff we shouldn't discuss in the public venue.

Let's just say, poking bears with sticks is a dangerous hobby... Cool

I for one is Kilim.
There is ONLY 1 kilim and that is me.

I do work in an IMB site but its not in CT and its actually in NY.
Maybe taht is the main ISP that the whole server side of r east coast IBM Bldgs use, I hoenstly don't know.

I would just like to have my account name unbanned if possible.

PS: I did notice that when I am at work, I cannot access the forums at all.
I can somehow access the forums here at home.

Considering I spend most of my time doing webworks at work, unbanning me would be very helpful.
I have found this site VERY helpful for all my website needs due to the fact that I am suing a nuke site and slowly learning it Very Happy

SO is there anyway to unban me?
I am not any of those above peopel except Kilim.

If there is any way I can prove it I will.

Corky:

What 'other topic' are you talking about?
It pisses ppl off when you lock threads.

'Kilim', since you have been removed from the 'banned' list, I went ahead and deactivated 'Kilim1' and 'Kilim2'. These accounts have different eMail addys than 'Kilim', which is suspicious in itself, but were created from the same IP - apparently from your home. I assume all these accounts are you, e.g. these nicks, but not the others. Is that correct?
