From time to time, Forum users receive a message telling them that their IP Address has been blocked for spamming, even though they did not spam the forum themselves.

This is because we run an IP blacklist checking system, which checks to see if a user's IP address has been blacklisted on any major spammer database. So if a user's IP address shows as blacklisted or blocked, they can use the following site to see which database they have been blacklisted on:

Options the users have for addressing this issue:

1. Change your IP address by contacting your ISP or on your own if you know how.

2. Contact each IP blacklist database site and ask them to remove their IP address. They will ask for some additional information to do so.

3. Use an Anonymous Proxy Browser Extension like the one below:
