High ban rate #13

Closed TEBandCo closed 1 year ago

TEBandCo commented 1 year ago

I'm currently experiencing a high ban rate (seemly 100%) on new accounts.

I'm testing to see if this is the script, proxy, or something I'm doing.

First test: Change from data centre proxies to residential proxies from Webshare. This seemed to make no change.

Next test: Create accounts without specifying email address - currently created 10 accounts and will wait for a day or so to age them and test if they're banned or not.

That's interesting

Just checked some of my accounts created during the whole testing time, I don't see any bans

I have only 2 assumptions: they didn't like your email or this ip was used by dirty people

Well, I'll be waiting for your results, keep me posted!

Think this can be closed! I believe the email address I used originally (not the randomly generated ones) caused the subsequent accounts to be banned.
