Thandal Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 On 1/7/2018 at 5:20 AM, PoorlyAged said: I see contradictory information. Thandal tells me No, IP addresses are not blocked. Now, Dark0ne says that IP addresses get placed on a "banlist". As I read it, a "banlist" IP is the semantic equivalent of a blocked IP. So Thandal, please get with Dark0ne and clarify. Are IP addresses blocked or banned or as you state " the Nexus does NOT block IP addresses"? I said we don't block IP addresses "except in extremely rare cases." If one were to divide the number of Blocked IP Addresses by the number of Bans, (let alone Bans + Warnings) the result would be infinitesimal.

PoorlyAged Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Thanks Dark0ne. However, you have piqued my curiosity. What is the relationship between a banned user and an IP address getting on the 'banlist' as you referenced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thandal Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 @PoorlyAged; The amount and/or type of misbehaviour. (And no, we don't publish an algorithm.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
