Default I think I've been banned without reason and without notice from twcenter.net

I've had increasing trouble accessing the site in recent weeks then I found out today that everybody else could access the site without problem while I couldn't at all. I received server time out error.

I managed to access the site through tor but that now no longer work too

I ran tracert and this is the result



My IP is dynamic so I don't think they could ban my IP and friend with the same ISP had no trouble accessing twcenter.net

The most disturbing fact is they did this without noticing me. Well at least they know what they're doing is unethical.

I suspect it's my critical signature that got me banned. And I suspect that an influential member in twcenter.net probably asked me to be banned. Or a moderator there is the one who sent me death threat letters through various forum PM and he felt upset because everytime I reported the PM his user name was banned but he only registered to send me the death threats anyway. Too many possibilities I know but it just sucks.

I believe the precise words is I've been censored out

Of interesting note how the ping slowed significantly at the second singtel router which is Singapore's govt telecommunication company...I don't know what happens there but it surely takes a long time there perhaps my traffic as expected being monitored and recorded. Actually all traffic is monitored and recorded even in US so I watch in tv. There is a room in AT&T internet hub that record internet traffic coming in and out of US the room is operated by intelligence agency. Saw it in a documentary in television.

Anyway I don't care I'm just upset why I can't access twcenter.net

Your being blocked from accessing certain sites? Maybe they see subsim as some big western conspiracy site . In the paper other day some of our major ISP have had the same problem with their customers, sites they visit on a daily basis are blocked where all of the sites are based in the USA. This is cause the ISP connect to some Asian provider first and that provider has started blocking sites. There's nothing they can do about it atm. Its like they are targeting the big companies here like Telecom and Slingshot are the only one's affected by the blocking.

I'm with a small isp company so far so good.

Hi Frank it's not ISP it's ONLY me my other friends even with the same ISP has no problem accessing the site. So does friends who use different local ISP. So I guess now they block certain machine instead of the whole country from accessing.

I believe you can easily get around this by spoofing which is changing your mac address. It is easy to do as there is free software on the net. I would start by changing the mac address on your nic which is your ethernet card, and if you connect wirelessly change the mac on your wireless card.

Perhaps someone on the site will chip in and offer additional help with changing other identifiable markers inside the PC itself.

If you are connected through a cable modem that mac can not be changed legally, so your out of luck but could take the modem back to your ISP and exchange it for another if the one you have got fried somehow........
