    You should have a different IP, so you will be able to reregister.

    You should have used a different email. You must have used the same email that's how they knew it was you.

    Which site was it?

    The site I own has a number of keyboard warriors who have a problem working out where they are not wanted, bit of a pain in the hole :rolleyes:

    I've got a few methods which can automatically determine if someone is trying to re-register, in my experience idiots who have been banned always give away their real identity either by username, ip, or email but ultimately by their posting style.

    Some people are incapable of change :)

    You were using a private tracker for legal content? I seriously doubt that. Either way if you're getting a new ISP, you'll get a new IP address and will be able to re-register. Next time don't be a leech; upload what you download.

    one of the torrent sites i use blocked all new zealand ip due to one guy doing what you want to do, they block his ip for plain abusive emails and posts, then all ip from his isp and then all his countrys ips when he kept changing

    Hmm... I was on a certain site and they banned my ISP's entire IP range recently because of somebody just like yourself.

    Now I can't access the site anymore.

    If there wasn't a rule against personal abuse I'd be personally abusing you at this very moment.

    Legal content on a private tracker is VERY unlikely....anyway if you leeched and they banned you then you deserve it :)

    I don't think you're going to get that chance.

    I'm pretty sure it's the same site we're taking about and I'm going to make sure they know you're switching to UPC :pac:

    You're going to have to go back to shoplifting from HMV

    nah i dont think you know the site im talking about,:p

    Well, I'm on all the big ones and a few smaller ones.

    This one is the only one that's banned an Irish ISP. And they specifically told me that they banned the IP ranges because the user had attempted to rejoin with a new account.

    I think it's safe to say that you're the reason I can no longer access the place and I intend to make you pay, boyo :D

    the site im talking about is not very well known, it is for one thing in particular,

    its not a general site like most of them,

    im a member of most good private ones

    Sure you are, :rolleyes:

    Anyway this thread is going nowhere and the content is questionable, needless to say the site most likely banned your ISP, IP range or if you have a static IP just one.

    In short, don't leech on any site.
