Banned IP addresses? Why?

Abo Bob: the link doesn't work.

lwells, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

  1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?

  2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

My home computers IP address seems to have been banned for no reason I can fathom, so I would like to know what's going on :)

Sorry mate. All it is is a few people saying how their IP address is banned and discussing why that might be. Some suggested TPG but my gf works at a corporate in Sydney which I wouldn't expect to be using TPG and she has the same issue.

Hi Tony,

Could you do me a favour?  For some stupid reason my IP address has been banned from SAU sometime over the weekend.  Given my computer was switched off over the weekend I find it hard to believe this is anything but a mistake on the part of a moderator.

Could you possibly PM one of the mods on SAU (because no one seems to be answering the SAU email addresses) and ask WTF is going on? :(

Username is (obviously) lwells and my IP is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Thanks,

Lucien.

Could you guys follow this one up?

T.

Please be aware that a little turd has been registering SAU accounts and sending PM's to people like this one;

The user has now forced us to disallow any registrations from the @westnet.com.au domain as talks with the ISP have not resolved anything. If you have an @westnet.com.au email address and would like to become a member, please use the contact form to get a hold of me.

I apologise for any inconvenience and hope that this little idiot realises that nobody likes him or finds him entertaining.

I understand the above however my gf is at a corporate domain in sydney and has a banned IP address.

Exactly.

I have nothing to do with Westnet -- I am on Telstra Bigpond Cable in NSW -- and my IP address has been banned. I should point out I can (obviously) log in to my account from other IP addresses, hence the ban is not connected to accounts but to IP addresses.

I'm guessing a moderator/admin banned (either wittingly or unwittingly) an entire range of IP addresses. Either way, it would be nice if someone could actually look in to this *hint hint*. :(

I hear it's something to do with a firewall SAU has.

If it was a firewall or an htaccess file setting, you (and I) would be blocked before we saw a VBulletin page: ie. not webpage would be served.

We are being served the page which suggests its a setting within VB.

well I just tried checking the database that SAU forums use. It seems like the servername has changed.

as for firewall, about 2 months ago the server got a firewall installed, and since then, the IPs of people have always been 192.168.x.x ie the forum software couldn't see past the firewall. To get around this I made a script that checks the forwarded IP instead of the addressed IP. I'll disable this mod and see if you can access it tonight.

      Hello sau 👋

      Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
