[ONLY TOPIC] detected suspicious activity
[ONLY TOPIC] Detected suspicious activity |
Dear members We have a small amount of reports of detected suspicious activity Problems. We are working on this problem but if you find your members can not log in and they are getting the detected suspicious activity warning then Please post here and then after posting here Please PM one of the following staff members @APE @Luffy @Brandon_g @Nemo @SLGray PM us the following information: IP address of the member: Username: Email address: Url of your forum: All this information is important With out this data we can not help with your problem. How to find the IP address of the member. To find the IP address of the member log on to your forum as Admin and then go to any post of that members and then click on the IP button on that post it will give you 1 to 100's of IP addresses we need the first one in the list. Please Don't list all the IP's as the ones below the first one is no longer getting used on that account. Our Process: The staff will then report this to our team and get this fixed as soon as we can. Please Note that on weekends our office is closed so it may take some time to get this done. A staff member will then post back to acknowledge your report and when your problem has been looked at we will report back here to each member by tagging your name on the posts. Why This is occurring: once or twice a year we get an update of a black list and some Email addresses, Ip addresses common usernames are on that list. when added to our systems it will then ban them names ip's or Emails We also have a Ip addresses blocker on our system that will pick up any member that has a lot of IP addresses and if it changes lots of times in a day / week / month it then Flags up on our servers and will keep a eye on that account and if it keeps going on it will ban the IP address. This is called a Blacklist we then go in and remove you / your members from that list. We apologize for the any delay and the inconvenience caused to you and your members. Forumotion Team |

Thanks good to see your helping ,but what ban list ? My member who is having trouble is on no ban list that I know of ? And members that I have banned I don't want in banning
Re: [ONLY TOPIC] detected suspicious activity
Hello,
I can explain further for you on this.
What Ape is referring to is a blacklist esstentially that is made by google containing usernames, ip addresses, email addresses, etc that may be a spammer or something along those lines. Now every few months, FM's servers add updates and stuff on Google's huge list to its own blacklist/ban list. When this happens, we get alot if reports users all around the world in many different forums getting the message your user is getting and we need all the information asked above pmed to us so we can pass it onto to our pro staff in the head office and remove whatever is banned in regards to that user (username, email address, ip address, etc). Now being on the list may or may not have anything to do with your user, but regardless, the process is still the same.
Most of the time the cause is a username or a user who may use alot of different ip addresses for whatever reason (sometimes this could not even be the user's fault, but the user's ISP, or something) and this causes them to be flagged and added to the ban list.
When you give us the info we asked for in the first post via pm, we pass it on to the pro staff in the head office like I said earlier, then they have to go in and check what (username, ip address, email address, etc) is banned and then manually remove it from the list. Once they do this, the issue is then usually resolved.
I hope this helps provide you and everyone else who reads this thread a better understanding of this black list/ban list is, how this issue comes about and how it is resolved.
