It Keeps Telling Me I've been Banned When I try to post, it tells me I have been banned. It doesn't do it all the time. Did I do something wrong? How can I resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Willie

I see no infractions. I'll check into it. EDIT: I checked and your name didn't come up as ever being banned or anything.
Copy and paste the message here next time it happens.
In the mean time, delete all your cookies and Internet cashe and log out and log back in.
If it keeps doing it after that, an Admin will fix the problem.

Might be the same thing I've seen a couple times today too, just clicking on a post. It's a vBulletin Message: "Sorry, the administrator has banned your IP address. To contact the administrator click here." I'll try deleting cache and cookies too.
Edit: Worked for me.

If you have an Internet connection, you can bypass this by not using the AOL browser. I'm assuming you have internet through a cable provider (like Comcast) or DSL provider (like Bellsouth) and are just using AOL as a content provider?

So you are using AOL browser? If so, you are behind an AOL proxy. That would also suggest ls1tech may be blocking AOL proxies. Hate to say it, but it's a bit fruitless to do so. There is so many AOL users that, as this thread shows, end up sharing the same AOL proxy and getting banned. This also applies to viewers, not just registered members. How many viewers are seeing the banned error?

Gotcha! Sorry a$$ AOL! just kidding guys! 
it tells me the same thing. click here to notify admin. a minute later the mail gets returned to me saying. Your e-mail is being returned to you because there was a problem with its
delivery. The address which was undeliverable is listed in the section
labeled: "----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----".

It is looking as if the staff has put an AOL proxy or two on the ban list. A proxy serves a lot of traffic/users.
Really, I'm surprised that AOL proxies are on the ban list. As these past few threads have proved, those proxies serve a lot of legitimate traffic as AOL is still a large content provider. We've heard about the few registered who are seeing the banned error because of this proxy issue, but what about the people who may not be registered? If they're using an AOL browser, and they get behind the AOL proxy/proxies that are on the banned list, they'll see the same error and may not have reported it (or have and it's private).
If it's just Nike shoe type spam, it's probably not worth listing AOL proxies on the ban list when, as these threads are showing, it is affecting a lot of legitimate traffic.

Send Crager a PM with your IP address:

Given AOL is becoming more of a content provider and not an ISP, are you using any ISP (Time Warner, Road Runner, Verizon, etc)? If so, just use Internet Explorer or FireFox and not the AOL browser. When you have an ISP and connect to AOL, using the AOL software, you're behind their proxy servers - which apparently some are banned from LS1Tech.

At this moment, you either need to contact Crager with your IP address so that he can remove the ban, or you need to use Internet Explorer which will bypass the AOL proxies (since you have a true ISP).
