I Keep Getting Banned Warnings


Recommended Posts

Was kind of shocked this morning when I opened up the site and was logged out on my tablet (Galaxy Pro S7), so I logged in and was hit with the following screen

IMG_1102.thumb.jpeg.2affe0b607dbd971ab156f2e0e6bef30.jpeg

I refreshed and was still logged in, clicked another paged and got the screen again and this time was logged out.

 

i will say I was a little panicked as I haven’t been to active in a while or done anything that I could think of that would cause it, but this seem to be the only device/browser affected.

 

Troubleshooting done:

restarted

Cleared cache and cookies

reset chrome

tried in incognito 

 

Firefox on the device works perfectly fine and all other devices. Don’t know if it is just a me thing or not, but figured I’d post in case anyone else sees this scare!

 

Good news(or bad, depending), my account is not banned for now!

Coincidentally just happened again, server side caching issue maybe?

It has calmed down for me. Then again, I have not been on my tablet for a bit now and it was only happening on that. Tested on different devices and OS's, and no problems. Still made me skip a beat though!

Glad its not just me, but also not. hope it stops for you as well

Looks like it is spreading... So far, (fingers crossed) I have not seen it on any other devices. But outside of my phone and tablet, all my other devices use FireFox. I have not see the issue on anything other than my tablet so far.

And jinxed myself. Happened today on my main laptop running Windows and the latest Firefox. Think you're right close with the server side caching or some DB issues @Som

Yeah at least two staff members have reported this too. I have pinged @DaveLeggbecause idk what it could be. The IPs of those affected are not in the ban list.

and it just happened to me too

Went ahead and merged this with the "Possible issue with Mobile chrome on Android" ...

I don't have an answer.  I was doing a little research...thinking maybe IPs were temporarily flagged.  I did ping the back area with an oddity I saw...

yeah, that's why I kept the "I Keep Getting Banned Warnings" title. :) Probably isn't a platform specific issue.

    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
