|  understanding IP banning from forum
How can someone get banned from a forum? i've read things where members of a forum get banned via their IP address, but how is that possible when an IP address changes? i am curious about this and been having a discussion about it with a friend of mine. Also if a person is banned is their a way to get back onto the forum? i ask this because on another forum i visit, someone got banned then came back under a different username several times, and the webmaster who usually was verygood couldn't do much.
thanks |

Well ive been banned from a forum myself and trust me it wasnt because i was being a moron or anything, basically had a argument with someone and this person happen to be best mates with the mod, so yeah you can guess what happened! very childish!?
Anyway i cant get onto this forum, not even to make a new id, it just point blank rufuses to load up! so it must have been an ip ban he did on me

Your IP is only Dynamic with DSL or Dial up, (Usally), If you have cable its static and can't be changed unless you call your ISP and ask for a new IP Address, which usally costs money.

If you knew how to read, you would have seen I told you how. Call your ISP and ask for a new IP.

By reconnecting to the internet or resetting modem. If it is still the same then contact your ISP and ask them to do it.
