TrekBBS banned my work

[RoJoHen]

Once my transmatter ray is ready, my dear, you won't even need a ticket for your trip to Italy!

(now, if I could just avoid the molecules' tendency to, well, shift during the, uh, transmatter, mh, event.)

Hopefully they won't smell like cumin either.

It's not about making money; it's about taking money.

Maybe it's a banned member FROM THE FUTURE!

Or maybe it's BBS minority report: bonz actually spends her days semi-submerged in a shallow pool attached to electrodes, predicting future trolls and scoundrels and preemptively banning internet wrongdoers!

then how do you explain me?

I suspect a recycled IP address -- just hope the previous owner wasn't a terrorist or watching dodgy porn.

 

[Aragorn]

It's probable that a past or current employee at your workplace was a TrekBBS troll.

Best laugh all day. Good to see you round.

When I read the thread title, I immediately thought, "It's usually the other way around." Youtube is banned from my work. Anyway, hope you get it sorted out.

So can we assume Tom Cruise has taken her off on some wacky adventure when the site isn't available?

In all seriousness though, it's probably worth dropping Bonz or Spiff a PM, preferably with details of the IP address that's banned, so they can check out what's going on.

We can't have you actually working at work, you know.

I agree!!

Another thing could be- some ISPs give groups of people blocks of IPs, not a single static one... and it could be that a troll used one, was blocked, and that one is now being used by your company.

Well, at least that batter than Mr. Maxwell's technique.

New users are not thoroughly screened before being allowed to post. This "person" has been identified, taken out back, and shot. You have nothing further to fear.

I'm gonna have nightmares about this one...

I read that as doggy porn.

Not mutually exclusive.

I started a new job last week, and today I decided to bring in my laptop. The IP address at my job is banned by the TrekBBS! How the heck did that happen?

This usually is true of proxy servers, to prevent people from registering untraceable dual accounts.

My first thought is that your place of work is routing through a proxy server.

My second thought is to wonder why would they need to be set up like this unless there are nefarious goings on?

If the network is made accessible to the public, that setup would be understandable. (owners are initially accountable if illegal things are accessed from the network)


Click here and see what spyber has to say about your IP address. Then report back.

Nobody said bonz is perfect.

 

[Starbreaker]

They're only trying to help you succeed at your new job.

 

[RoJoHen]

For what it's worth, I was on my lunch break when I tried to log in.

Have you tried again recently?
