5.22 units of evil? Seriously?? Cheesy

I'd never heard of that one before, is there a thread on here where they explain this in detail?
In any case you've been warned and I think it's fair to assume that if you accumulate evil units beyond a certain threshold, they'll have no choice but to call in the resident priest for an exorcism Grin

Its basically:
Someone trolled hugely/spammed/broke many rules, and is permanently banned. To prevent him coming back from another account , some "units of evil" are added to the IP range. When someone registers from the "neighboring" IP they have to pay a fee to remove the "units of evil" to be able to post.

Bitcoin Forum > Remove Proxyban
Your IP address has previously been used for evil on this forum, or it is a known proxy/VPN/Tor exit node, so you are required to pay a small fee before you are able to post messages or send PMs. You can still use all of the read-only features without paying.

Your account contains 5.22 units of evil. To atone, you must pay a total of 0.00021008 bitcoins (0.21008 mBTC; 21008 satoshi). Pay to the address 16PuptUtnPWW2LH1uD3gQdn2TGCvgxF9XA. Once you have paid the full amount, wait a few seconds and then reload this page. If the fee is so small that your wallet is unable to send it, you can send any larger amount, though you will not be refunded the difference.

Alternatively, any forum staff member and some other notable members can manually whitelist you. Paying the fee is probably easier/quicker, though.

If you don't have any bitcoins, you can get small amounts of free bitcoins using the sites listed here. It is recommended that you give the free bitcoin sites the address listed above. Do not collect money in your own wallet and then send the bitcoins to the forum -- this will likely result in significant network fees.

If you find any bugs in this system, email pbbugs-...@.... For example, send email here if your payment is not registered an hour after sending it. You will be permanently banned if you send email here requesting free whitelisting.

i'm not on proxy, and if i was i would'n pay a cent for access

I have a same problem like this, I am using my phone data connection to make a new account so that account will have a new IP but I just receive this kind of message, Well I don't think someone has ever use my IP on the phone or in my speculation my phone IP gives me a random IP and gives a IP that has an evil doing with bitcointalk what do you think guys?

Are you using TOR?

It is known that TOR users can sometimes get dinged with that if they are using known access points.

I would suggest just bouncing off of another IP address or not using TOR to access the forums.
What were you doing when you tried and got that error? Were you doing evil things? wkwkwkwkwkwk

or you are using like MRKLYE said Tor. you can access site on TOR so if you think that you can do some sig with multiple accounts with Tor forget it or if you are on some college or university they have proxy and may this be the case that someone had been banned from this ip then you can do anything on that campus

i'm using my isp's dynamic ip, no tor, proxy, nothing.

The reason is this: within the users who used the same ISP with the same range of dynamic IP addresses, one of them are an evil and created an account for spamming. Then the IP address is banned and units of evil is added to that IP address and also addresses nearby. Myself have encountered some of them when I've used freedoge.co.in on my mobile 3G service's IP which also ban IP addresses for abusing.
If I were you, I would pay the 21008 satoshi, as a donation/support to the forum. That isn't a great amount as anyone could gain them by visiting only 21 faucets paying more than 1000 sat.

Ok that makes more sense then. This is in place because of spambots. Then might as well pay the mere cents to get yourself activated then.

Welcome to the SaltySpitoon, how Tough are ya?

Units of evil accumulate in particular on Tor nodes and Proxies, as people get banned on them. The explanations above pretty much have it all written out. The same could be true of whatever IP you are using now. Its to prevent floods of spammers. 21k satoshis is so easily obtainable, its only a hinderance to people trying to register hundreds of accounts. Finding a nickle in the street is about equivalent to spending a few minutes hitting faucets. If you have to find hundreds of nickles though, it gets time consuming, and makes it less attractive to make spambot operated accounts.

thanks for clarifying, i won't pay though Grin

good luck bitcointalk

It's 6.7 cents at the current rate... is that amount that much to you that you'd rather not participate?

not at all, it's nothing to me as it is nothing to bitcointalk, i'll just not support such activities. Bitcointalk is out of funds? Grin

Run your own Casino! See profile for more info

This has been around for a while, although I don't know why sending bitcoin is necessary, just emailing the mods is better. But I guess if I was banned for some reason I would pay the 0.0002, its not worth my time to email mods and wait for reply.

Creating new accounts will get your ip banned. It frowned upon. But I don't see why you need to pay to get that account proxy unlocked. It does sound like ransom too me. Is this a new rule instated recently or has it always been like that since day one?

I've created new account for a new service, but i won't pay for access, that's ridiculous 21k satoshi is nothing but i would rather been warned before registration, now i'm using this actual account without problem Huh

just wtf

If you try to create too many accounts with the same IP it is likely to get evil points.
Donot create too many accounts In the forum.
And if you want to create one then use a New IP address or a Private VPN and then register for a new one.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

Its a proxy ban, it means your current IP was banned by proxy for the banwothy actions someone else comitted while using said IP. The account created will have to pay the fee in order to post. The evil points decay over time.

Maybe the message in the IP ban should explain in more detail what could have been the cause or possible causes so people wont have to open a post in the meta section everytime they get their ip ''banned''
