I think there may be a glitch on this site.

I have reason to believe that different people using the same computer in my Internet café are being treated as if they are the same person when they are not, and it has been brought to my attention that SW users are being auto-blocked just because they've used the same computer as a person who has already been blocked. Will SW please sort this mess out as soon as possible?

I don't think, blocking a user should do anything with IP address. It simply should be based on your login session. And if they are considering IP address solely apart from that, then this is a mistake.

Although, I myself noticed they allow few VPNs but block few.

IP Tracer will find the location, if as you state it is found to NOT be Internet café the IP address will be auto blocked.

YOU need to prove to the SW Team it is a shared computer

@ShenaniganFoodie Nice caps

@ShenaniganFoodie The IP address is not static and it doesn't even trace it to my home city in most cases, so that will never work.

@Nuno is it true?

@Royricky09 It's no use asking Nuno, he never answers anyone. You might as well ask the cat.

@pentagrammom Please be serious. You know as well as I do that this site isn't that old.

@Bewilderbeeste but how did they know about sw? Did you leave it on screen? 😅

Bewilderbeeste · 70-79, M

@YoMomma Because a lot of them are friends of mine and they join SW and other similar sites as an anti-troll team. It all began on a site called Answerbag in 2011.

@Bewilderbeeste ok

Who has an internet cafe this side of 1998?

Must be an African nation?

@DazzaTheHutt I opened it in 2009. It's in England, just round the corner from my house.

@Bewilderbeeste Is the truth that you’re using multiple accounts from the same device and you’re frustrated with the IP blocking?

Bewilderbeeste · 70-79, M

@DazzaTheHutt I have one other account apart from this one.

I don't see for the life of me how two (or even twenty) different people can suddenly become the same person just by using the same device at different times, it's just not logical. Remember that even if the site admin can track what device is being used, there is no way they can see who is using it.
