[QUOTE="machineelf, post: 7711172, member: 6774924"] Yes, but it's not the VPN IP address [I]only[/I] that's banned. It's the entire account, even when you log in using a normal IP address. And then getting that account restored is very hard to impossible to do. I find that policy to be a little on the extreme side, especially considering they don't do a good job warning you this will happen. In fact, I wish they had banned the VPN IP address in a way that kept me from logging on in the first place. I would have realized what was going on, and simply logged in with a normal IP, and could have avoided having my account banned (which I only used to watch videos every now and then, I never posted anything). It seems to me to be a better way to handle things and not to exclude your clients who aren't problems or trouble-makers. Regardless of whether you think it's a good policy or not (Facebook and Youtube don't have that policy, by the way), I'm simply letting people know so they don't run into the problems I did. A lot of people use VPNs. It was not a net gain for [I]my[/I] user experience. :P [/QUOTE]
