Hi guys,
The issue should be sorted now and it should only have affected some members who are with Tiscali. The change to IE7 and losing access should be puire coincidence.
Please let me know if the problem continues.

My personal apologies on this folks. Sadly we've had a lot of (sometimes nasty) spammers and are trying to deal with them. When that happens we can block their IP address, it seems this time it affected others too - apologies.
One poster noted about how to do proxy IPs - while i know it was for a good reason; we're actually about to ban the use of proxy's to access the site - as many spammers or PPR people try to utilise it that way - so I've deleted the post.
Sorry again folks.

The new term has been drafted carefully - its about deliberately disguising your IP; don't worry.Martin Lewis, Money Saving Expert.

Hi
I was banned yesterday!!! I only registered yesterday and posted one thread and then was banned immediately. To my knowledge, there was nothing wrong with my post??? I posted in the Referral section re: Xbox 360Premium giveaway which is a legitimate referral site which could result in many Moneysavers gaining free goods. It does not state that my IP address has been banned. It just says you have been banned; Reason : None & Ban to be Lifted : Never!!
I can't believe it, I have tryed to e-mail the Webmaster but as of yet have not had a response. I have had to register as another user to even post this!!! Can anyone help me????0 -
Hi
If this was a pyramid technique (where you sign up for a free trial to something like Lovefilm and then get 10 other people to do the same) this is clearly prohibited in our Rules and Terms & Conditions.
However, if this was done by accident as you didn't realise our rules, please contact us on [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL] explaining things and we will look into sorting this out for you
