Because the issue seems to be with WiFi networks mostly … and as far as I’m aware most won’t be connecting to those on the farm

Get your mates the w*nkers to stop being w*nkers, which the ip bans have succeeded with.

Most seems to be affecting people who use the phone networks to use here.

A restart of the phone normally gets a different ip address

turning mobile data off and on will reassign a new IP in the same way, no need to restart...

Imagine the scene next year if the IP ban range covers Pilton and the surrounding area…

Mobile provider's IP ranges are not that localised... My IP on my mobile as I speak says I'm in London... I'm in the midlands.

Someone has told the geolocation services that they are in London when they have been using that ip. Which just shows how they get shared around

Yep, geolocation is pointless on a county to county level. I could be given the same IP address in Newcastle upon Tyne as I could be given in St Ives with my mobile provider... (If I could get a signal in St Ives that is!) 

Geoblocking works well on a national level... Ask Netflix... It doesn't work well on a local level, well not in the UK anyway, we're way too small.

Yeah, can't see the point in this thread anymore. We know the IP thing exists. We know nothing is going to change. Time to kill the thread

@Crazyfool01 @eFestivals

I've had a message from @Quark saying he's banned and could I check. Might just be an IP thing or has he been a very naughty boy?

I've had it on a couple of occasions recently, during the rare times I connect via mobile (I'm on Voda). 

[SwallowOrSleepOnTheWetSpot]

I get the Banned thing every now and then, but then later on I can post and lurk as usual. It's weird but oh well.

[km9]

Same here. Any chance those ip addresses could be unbanned?

[Mr. B]

Still getting banned

So Quark, Clarkete and Mr.B all regulars and or Gold Members are being banned and you won't change this crazy policy?

You said yourself, "A restart of the phone normally gets a different ip address ". so how does the ban stop the spammers posting? You are lucky the regulars are sympathetic, a lot of people would be livid at this.

I've only experienced it a couple of times and tbh it amused me that it happened to me and I just did something else. 

I can certainly see that if it happened during one of the big days in the festival calendar I'd likely find it more troublesome.

Just been using my mobile data via Giffgaff and I am banned. Using the WiFi in spoons and I am OK. Its not causing me to self harm but does it mean I can't use Giffgaff as I rely on that at home.
