When im at school i use a different browser which gives me access to all websites unblocked. its called "Tor Browser" but after about 30 mins of being on the forums i get IP banned then i can just get on the forums the next day. I know its not the biggest deal but it would be appreciated if someone could help me or if a staff member could do something. take care <3

I think that when you use a Tor Browser, it's sort of a VPN Browser. What that means is that you use it, and it gives you an alternate IP that makes it accessible to other websites you may be banned from and connect to websites that are not accessible to the regular internet. So therefore, it could've been used by a spam bot or another person on the forums who broke the rules, and it ended up getting banned.

I'd suggesting finding a different browser or VPN to access the forums from school if you'd like. I use Betternet and it works great with a WiFi connection.
