I was banned from a forum I read a lot. Every time I try to log on I get this message.....

I use several different IP's(Home, Truck Stops and Hotels). I get that message at every IP on my laptop. My question is can a forum mod tag my computer and prevent me from viewing the site? I keep getting emails that members have responded to threads I've started. Is there something on my computer preventing me from viewing the site?

Yes, the def can do that, but I'm guessing your missing a plugin. Maybe java or flash or etc

From that message, I would be at least 95%+ that you aren't banned and it's just something on their end (probably database issues) With that said, it is possible that they changed their "banned" message to something more generic to not let people onto the real problem.

Yes I would have to agree. Check to see if you have the latest updates. What browser are you using, Modzilla, IE, etc.., you may need to add the site to an approved list. You browser might block the site, if it deems it as spam or malware or has excessive pop ups.

no, mods cannot tag your computer per se. they can tag your IP addy that is assigned to your computer. and when you say other IP's are you referring to the same computer but changing your IP with a program?
