Title: Problem with GH access from phones (fixed)
Post by: bavman on Thu, 31 January 2013, 05:13:53
So naturally I was upset when I saw this, but I don't really do anything that would warrant me a lifetime ban. I turned on my desktop and I'm logged in a everything works fine. I then downloaded another browser on my phone and logged into GH from there and it works fine as well. Eventually fixed it by clearing cookies, still was a little annoying and I have no idea why this happened as I've never been banned before.

Well several people did get banned recently with that same message. Although moderators have said its temporary, not actually permanent.
Perhaps you said something 'wrong' when the ban hammer was in full force?
Hopefully it was just a technical issue.

I don't know, a 2 hour ban doesn't really seem like much of a punishment for anything, but then again I don't know if I actually did get banned or if this just randomly popped up on my phone.

There was a problem with phone access.  It has been found and fixed.  At least two people were affected.

If you have a problem, please do what Bavman did: clear your cache and try again.  If the problem persists, feel free to PM me.

Bavman (OP), do I have your permission to change the title of this thread?
