If you have a VPN, suspicous ip activity, high fraud score, poor behavior, other suspect things, you may find yourself locked at trust level 1. Especially if its a combination of these things.
As I go through accounts and see anything suspect like this, especially from new/unknown users, I may lock your account at trust level 1. You are still able to post like 20 replies a day, but you will not be able to access private members section.
We are not outright banning vpns like the old site at the current time, but instead restricting trust levels and access to the higher level abilities/category.
If you want this access , the best bet is to use your real IP address and just dont be a jerk or break rules.
Anything too suspect may find their accounts banned from the site without warning.
Just a matter of site security.
Thanks.
