I don’t know how to get unbanned. I created an account with a wrong username (with typo) a few nights ago, tried again, and failed, gave up. Tried to create an account with a different name/email and got this. Unsure how long this will take to cool off. It said something about “send a mail to explain why you’re creating accounts” before It just shows everything as this.
The only bloody reason I wanted to create an account was to see if I could set some kind of dark mode, looking at that wiki makes me feel like I’m starting into a lightbulb, but I’m running debian, and wanted to get info on the init system in use in debian.
VPN providers don’t have unlimited IPs. At some point, you’ve blocked all the VPN IPs, and suddenly it gets much harder to abuse the site.
If this doesn’t solve anything in your eyes, what exactly should a provider do when they’re getting hammered by VPN IPs? Should they tell their customers “sorry our service is offline, but there might be people legitimately attempting to access it through the IPs that are DDoSing us”?
