Hi, I suppose that’s in order.

So I finally succeeded in creating an account that allows me to post after 2 attempts as, I felt unsuccessful with the registration as I saw something like an evil IP or something of that nature, coupled with other write-ups in red ink captions.

Does that mean I did something wrong on my previous attempts?
What did I do please and how do I avoid that?

It came with posting restrictions. Why? Those attempts actually did restrict me from posting which tells me something went wrong. When I finally succeeded with this one day ago, I must say I’ve been a little skeptical about writing anything less I do something wrong and trigger another evil IP.

What do I need to know to be safe here, just briefly, please.
I’ll be in the comments.
Good to know that you finally create an account that is free from the proxy banned and if you have taken all the steps to get this account up and working it then means you may have gone through some process that will have already opened up your understanding of the subject matters, and also you should take the time to read all the forum rules to avoid making same mistakes that those that where here before made that dented the il of your region because the forum only ban Ils that have violated the forum laws one way or the other before the Ip become blacklisted in that situations.

Sorry that your first experience was bad, and your insistence on creating more than one account is a good idea, but since there is high spam, some free IP addresses are blocked. Therefore, if you register using a free VPN, Tor, there is a high probability that the IP address used to log in is part of the evil IP, in general, if your account is whitelisted, this automatically means making your IP address cleaner.
Besides submitting to some topics from community members, with allowance from theymos to whitelist users, OP can have another option. Buying a forum's copper membership with which accounts will be automatically whitelisted after the purchase process is done.

I guess this is your first time of having such experience on ip address restrictions, it happens and anyone can choose on what they want concerning their platform created, if you're a regular gambler , maybe you would have been used to some of these while passing through the regular gambling registration stage, for here, you either choose to pay for an evil fee or got whitelisted for free if applied for.

You talked about someone who might have broken rules in the past registering with my IP. Just how is that possible? I thought IPs are supposed to be unique. Wouldn’t that create some crime map for innocent people even in the real world problems?

Yes, IP addresses are unique to each Internet-connected device.  But even though every gadget needs its own exclusive IP address to get online, there arent actually enough IP numbers to go around forever.  The companies that give you your Wi-Fi assign you an IP from their pool of addresses.  But that pool is not bottomless - there are way more people that need IPs than there are available IPs! So what a lot of these Internet providers do is reuse and recycle IP addresses and  the IP you get today was likely used by someone else yesterday, and next day it will get reassigned again to another new user once you log off.

So the IPs are kinda like library book numbers - they get checked out and returned a lot!

I just think it is a punishment from the forum administrators for a people from a certain region who flouted the forum rules. As a result their IPs were blacklisted.

A very similar topic was discussed here last week - Suggestion payment for those new member on evil IP. You can get some insights to your question there.

To be safe here, do not spam. Obey the forum rules. Do not plagiarize.

There will be people from your region who will encounter the same issues upon sign up. You can send an email to those who will whitelist the account and it will be done.

Hatchy,
You talked about someone who might have broken rules in the past registering with my IP. Just how is that possible? I thought IPs are supposed to be unique. Wouldn’t that create some screen map for innocent people even in the real world problems?

If you look at the first comment from _act_, you'll see that he explained what I said. But Let me clarify. "IP" is supposed to be a unique address for each device connected to the internet. Now, here's how the "evil fees" work on this forum. If someone in your local area who uses the same internet service provider has been banned for breaking the forum rules, it's possible that the ban affects all users sharing the same external IP address. Many internet users share the same external IP address because they use the same internet service or network provider.

Okay, I see a ton of things I need to read here but, to the second person that commented and I mean,
Hatchy,

Oh! The VPN means to registration. Didn’t think of that but, could it be what happened to my IP too?

Again, on the third comment,
SquirrelJulietGarden,
Yes, I did created a different account on that day or the day before and it came with that evil IP stuff. I had to try again at a later time before I got some success with this one so, I’ll rather stay with this one though.
Hope that ain’t a problem either.

Took a brief look at the first post in the suggestion already but, I don’t really get the hang of most of what is said there already. I’ll study it again and how it works because, it seems to be a zoning there that suggest I could have people around on the platform right? Maybe I get to connect someday.

So I finally succeeded in creating an account that allows me to post after 2 attempts as, I feel unsuccessful with the registration as I saw something like an evil IP or something of that nature, coupled with other write ups in red ink captions.
It means you created two accounts. The first one was restricted to post by evil IP points. The second one is this one. Is it what you do?

Evil IP can be false positive too and when you is banned with evil IP, it does not mean you did something wrong by yourself. It can be other people who create accounts from that same IP address, but not you.

From now, you will have to only worry about ban if you break forum rules.

No mate, you didn't do anything wrong. The evil ip you saw was because some users who must have broken the forum rules and have been banned registered using the same IP as yours. It's no fault of yours as the evil ip was meant to prevent spammers from registering another account on the forum. Read here
Quote
Why is my IP banned? What are those units of evil?
A: Your IP might be banned because it was used by a user that got perma banned. Don't worry - IP bans decay over time if there's not too many of them issued during a small period of time. If you register using a banned IP, are using TOR, VPNs or well known proxies, you will have to pay a small fee. This is to prevent spammers while allowing legitimate members to post without many restrictions.

There are some ways you might use to get through the evil ip which are

1. Using good VPN
2. Whitelisting
3. Paying the evil ban fee.

Using all these methods you can access the forum and get an account without post restrictions.

If you are unable to post, you have done nothing wrong. People theymos give permission can whitelist the account for you. Read this thread

Remove Proxyban (evil fees) - email to get whitelisted for free

Send email to one of the people that can whitelist your account for you. You will see them on the link I provided.

If people are many from a certain countries, spamming on this forum and their accounts are getting banned but keep opening another account to post and banned again and again, such people countries IP are blacklisted.
