In an effort to reduce trolls and punishment evasion we have made the following changes:
Signing up with a VPN will immediately have your account to be disabled. You’lll need to email staff@amcforum.wiki to ensure that you are a real user.
Signing up with a disposable email will have your account disabled instantly. We have various ways of checking this but we won’t reveal them so you can’t bypass it
You can login to your account with a VPN, but you may no longer sign up with one. Changing your email to a throwaway email will also lock you out.
Yes we can? A majority of VPNs fall under the commercial or datacentre ASN type, so it’s not hard to block them. Self-hosted VPNs, like if you host it at home and you connect to school is fine, but we aim to block VPN connections from places like ProtonVPN or IPvanish, not you proxying your traffic through your house (I do this myself, actually).
Yes we can. I spent about 3 hours gathering temporary email server data. We take the domain of the temporary emails and trace the IP back to the server and block it that way. GitHub - aboutdavid/0shade: 0shade: No more throwaway emails
Even if it’s not on the list, temporary emails are usually nonsensical (i.e. uxtwhsba.com or polywah.com), and when we find a new one that slipped through the cracks, we update it
We’ve had several troll accounts and ban-evaders. Over the past month, we’ve banned 8 of them already.
