"IP Ban" bug

Hey all,

There seems to be a bug if you post some character sequences that might cause you to get IP banned. If you fill out the redirect you get banned from systeminplace (not sc2mafia). Please don't fill it out. I think it's only going to cause MikeVipe trouble.

Here's a picture of the website. If you see it, just close your tab and you should be okay.

Attachment 27378

IF YOU FIND OUT THE CHARACTER SEQUENCE AND POST IT, YOU WILL RECEIVE A 2 WEEK BAN. Game or no game. Limit the damage.

If you have any other relevant information to help the site staff figure this out, please post it in this thread. We are doing our best to fix this situation as quickly as we can.

Thanks,
Voss

Thanks for your IP, I'll see you in a few hours

It's my work vpn, but feel free to take some honey anyway!

Martin's situation

So basically, regarding my issue:

1. I cannot access it using my home's wifi/internet network thingy, which is the primary and only thing my computer uses to access the internet. With this, I cannot access/connect to Sc2Mafia.com at all. I gave my IP address to aamirus last night and she didn't see my IP being banned. Since it was late at night, we didn't get to trouble shoot much.

2.With my phone, I can either use the network that my smartphone has (as part of its service), or the home wifi. When I use the home wifi, I cannot connect. However, when I use my phone's service (you know, the data plan stuff that also handles texting and what not), I can connect to Sc2Mafia.com

3. I have no clue as to why this is, but about 60 hours ago (not an exact estimate) I noticed Sc2Mafia was undergoing maintenance for about 3 hours. After that I've occasionally been hearing at one point or another about people being IP banned or whatever. Now I'm not a tech savvy person, but I almost want to point that out as a possible culprit :person_shrugging:

Btw, I never saw that redirect thing. I just only got randomly IP banned (or thats what it seemed like) from my home wifi network thing. If that information helps.

What the heck is the point of this honeypot...
Apo is going to begin living in nordVPN now...

This is not a scam, you will get redirected there if an invalid url is entered. It's a bot banning system.

There must be a bug in reply that is forwarding to a nonexistent url. I will look into it.

Blink got ip banned (i think) from the site after trying to make some posts in this thread. he was trying to quote post the thing that i did.

blinkskater and martingg99 and naz have issues currently.

Had the issue yesterday, was trying to post three toadette emojis with no spaces and it wasn't letting me. Appears to be working now though.

everyone who got ip banned, can you please send the banned IP to me in a PM. You can use whatismyip.com and send what it says for public IPv4. Then we can work on getting these bans removed from the host site.

@blinkskater
@naz
@oops_ur_dead


----------------------------

@MartinGG99 you should be able to access site again on your PC (only martin since he already sent me)





edit: sent requests for you 3 to be unbanned, will update when it is processed
