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...

This is also happening on my desktop at times.

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

    • I think this will appeal to a lot of enthusiasts. If the thermals are similar to those of a single system in a compact case, many people running multiple systems may choose to combine them into one machine, provided the case footprint remains reasonable.
    • No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.
    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
