Keep getting tempbanned

Post by dwitrem »

I think. I can log into the game at the beginning of the day, but when I try to log in later I see nothing and then it disconnects me.

Someone has suggested that hyperterminal or telnet is automatically reconnecting itself, and so I am being tempbanned daily. If this is the problem, how do I disable the automatic reconnect?

I am not using a client, and this did not happen before a few days ago.

Much obliged!

Reconnecting too many times or making too many characters causes you to become temporarily sitebanned so that is the case here.

Removed the current tempban.

temp-ban

Why is it that whenever I get kicked off the mud, I cannot log back in until the server has rebooted?
This even applies to leaving the game normally.

Am I flagged for some kind of automatic temp-ban? Cause I use Zmud, and until recently I had not turned off the automatic reconnect option.

IF you leave zmud on at your home and it keeps reconnecting to mud, your IP gets temp banned.

This is because we had problems with hacking/polish spammers some while back.

Apparently I'm also banned now, probably due to a shaky connection.

I need my fix plz.
