Hello community, I have little experience of other forum but I'm now interested bitcoin now so I tried signing up here for a long time now but I have been getting ban alert that I'm using an IP that just committed a crime or something or should say evil IP.

But I haven't committed any crime ! So I used Tor browser to register the forum and it worked. So what exactly is the problem here ?

Thanks for your honest response!

It happened to me once but as I cleared all browsers cache and cleared the history and it all begin to work again. you really didn't have to install tor browser for that you just needed to refresh the browser if would have worked

I think I don't need the whitelisting anymore because I have this account already.

Since you can post, you're not proxybanned. None of that matters to your account anymore.

Most members in this forum got this confusion when they were trying to register, so the experience is not peculiar to you, infact if there's no experienced forum member to guide a newbie through the registration process, they'll think that they've probably violated some forum rules or some unknown person was trying to compromise their registration. I'm sure you've been given enough reasons why this happens at registration, you've passed that stage now, so you're officially welcomed to the forum.

It is evil IP but eventually you created another account, this one, and does not have evil IP point so you can post normally.

You can buy a Copper membership that includes Whitelisting.

OK, I reduced the maximum to the same price as copper membership, since it doesn't really make sense for copper membership to be cheaper when it includes whitelisting.

You can send your request to be whitelisted and there are some forum volunteers who do whitelisting for free.

Only abused IP ranges have to pay a fee. The fee is an anti-abuse measure, and it is not meant to be (and isn't) much of a source of revenue.

If any very-veteran members want to volunteer, I can give you the ability to whitelist users. (All Staff can already whitelist users, as well.) Perhaps then someone could create a topic like "List of email addresses for people who can whitelist you for free", which I could link-to on the evil fee page. However, these IPs have evil for a reason. If it was sufficient for them to just solve a captcha or something, I'd have them do that. Before whitelisting someone, you have to do something to be pretty sure that they're not evading a ban and just going to get banned again. You may get the impression from complaints on the forum that everyone hits the fee and it's never warranted, but this is selection bias: the fee is more rare, and the vast majority of accounts that hit it should not be whitelisted.

It can't be a group of people residing there that committed the crime because I know quite well that some of the countries are not supportive to register in the forum, because sometimes you will see people paid for evil fee before they could have access to make a post after registration, so it's not caused by group of people living in that geographical environment.

I don't think I have ever read or come across anything in this forum where anything concerning restricted countries was mentioned. If there were ever some countries restricted from registering here on the forum, even the evil pay won't grant them access to the forum.

Like what the admin said about Evil Pay, it's not far from what I mentioned above. Maybe the country, which you might think was banned from making registration here in this forum, was once totally free from doing that without being tagged evil, but due to the high rate of bans, users from the IP will contribute an effective proxy ban every user who registers from their will receive.

Take Nigeria, for example. I was told there was a time when people from here could also register an account freely without anything like being tagged to pay for evil, which the individual didn't literally commit, but as time goes on, things change, and even in those countries and areas where their IP addresses are clean, if there is a rapid growth in forum rule violations by those who use the forum over there, which leads to their account getting banned, there will also be a high possibility of new users getting the proxy ban too.

But finally you have registered for my own opinion I will think that since you have registered and that is why you are allowed to be post in this community you should let it go because you have succeeded already by registering yourself into the community of bitcointalk, sometimes people who try to register like this has already own account in the forum but the account was created by someone Who introduced them to the forum.

Let me answer you base on your question, the cause of the problem you are having is base on your location, because when your location is not permitted to have an easy registration to bitcointalk you neither use vpn to register or you change a system and make payment of evil fees they will demand for you.

You are not the one who committed the evil, but it's someone or group of people who stay around that area who committed the evil, which has affected your own IP and registration.

It can't be a group of people residing there that committed the crime because I know quite well that some of the countries are not supportive to register in the forum, because sometimes you will see people paid for evil fee before they could have access to make a post after registration, so it's not caused by group of people living in that geographical environment.

So what you can do is either pay for the evil or apply for your account to be whitelisted by by person who have access to whitelist users It's just how the forum has been designed to operate to reduce the number of users who register from a banned IP address.

The right and correct answer is already stated here as this speak more I am about to say. But in addition to this many pass through this issue of IP just as you experience but just be determined by doing the right thing as guidelines is already given.

The problem is not from you the problem is from your IP location, it has been tagged evil meaning that there has been some bad experiences from that location but this doesn't mean you as a person can't join the forum, they also gave an option for you to pay small fee and get your access back to the forum.
The fee is just small fee that can also be used to help the forum in some ways. Good a thing you are here now, first you how have to check out the rules and regulations and other forum related topics.

Paying of evil fee have to depend on the ip address or location you're connecting from, it your ip address is one of the reported ones for evil deeds in the past then you have no option than to pay this, while we still have some ip addresses that doesn't support in for this, you can also apply for whitelisting, which is another means of scaling through the request for making such payment, so don't termed this as a problem, but your own ip location problem.

Thanks coiners for your wonderful response.

I think I don't need the whitelisting anymore because I have this account already.

So I will go straight to my aim here, have a good time around coiners

Quote from: theymos on July 27, 2014, 12:08:57 AM

When you register, the IP that you used when you submitted the registration form is used to calculate your evilness. The more frequently this IP or its neighbors were banned, the more evil is associated with your account. The amount of evil associated with an IP decays slowly over time, but the amount of evil associated with an account does not. You must pay or be manually whitelisted to enable posting on one of these "banned" accounts.

Here are some stats:

Evil	% new users
0	53
0-1	35
1-10	4.4
10-20	0.80
20-50	2.2
50-100	1.3
100+	2.9

Currently each unit of evil requires a payment of 4023 satoshi. You only need to pay something if you have 1 or more, though.

You didn't do anything wrong, buddy. Some spammers have used your IP address on the forum before, and they've been banned by the admins along with their IP. So, it seems like your IP is in the same location as those banned users. Usually, you're supposed to pay a fee to remove posting restrictions. But you used Tor, which is another way to bypass the fee and IP ban. There's also another method called whitelisting. You have to message some certain members and you get whitelisted to avoid the fee. So, don't feel upset or discouraged by the fee because there are other ways to deal with it.
