Title: help from MEM Mods
Post by: ozzie46 on March 17, 2026, 07:25:17 AM: I have been banned from MEM for a supposed North Korean scraper thingy.

This has to be an error as I have not had any issues with any other site.
I have been a member since it the site started and have had no issues before.

Can a MEM Moderator please help?

I suspect your ISP's IP address is sufficiently close to an address used by a Korean ISP (North Korean seems unlikely tbh, but could be I suppose) - can you do me a favour & use the "contact" link at the top of the page - that should work for you - and just ping a message in? It can be anything - the useful thing about that page is it records your IP address... so I should be able to find out which IP range to remove from that particular ban to restore your full access...

Apologies for the inconvenience!

Cheers,
Ade.

Post by: ozzie46 on March 19, 2026, 06:26:11 AM: I tried another windows device and I can login just fine. I'm starting to suspect my new paid for security software (AURA), the other device does not have it.

I'll have to do some more checking with the software people.

Hmm, odd... what was the error? It should let you use that, even if your IP is on a ban list... God knows I get enough spam through it!

Post by: ozzie46 on March 20, 2026, 04:36:24 PM: I figured it out. There was a setting in my browser that was causing the issue . reset everything to default and all is well with the world and MEM access!!!

Thanks for the help

No worries Ron!

Was it the "Kim Jong Un" switch?
