Preventing IP ban with multiple accounts

ddavidm · 02/25/2010, 05:26

So I heard from people and the forums that if you reset the password for 5 or more accounts, you will be IP banned. Can anyone confirm this is true? If it is, does anyone know of an IP changing programs? I have way more than 5 accounts and this would really screw me over.

Edit: Okay so I changed my IP address by simply unplugging my modem and resetting it. So far I have done it before resetting the password on each of my accounts. I've reset six with no problems left. I've been using whatismyip.com to check my IP and making sure it changes after each reset. Anyways, I'll finish all of my accounts and get back here.

Edit 2: Okay well it seems that the method I used above worked. I managed to change all of my accounts' passwords without any problem. Can someone delete/lock this thread since my problem has been resolved.

is that true about the ip ban though? because i have changed probly 4 passwords so far. so i guess later tonight ill get a different ip just to be safe.

Not true.

I've reset the passwords to over 10 accounts and used forgot password feature to find what email was associated with each account and no bans.

XD, gotta love em.

Well I heard from several different people that if you change passwords for more than five accounts on one IP then you get auto ip banned. Maybe I was just being paranoid and they never really did this at all lol. Ill have to go find out more. Anyways it doesnt hurt being extra safe.

Will a proxy or two be a safe alternative to changing your IP?

pawntobishop · 02/27/2010, 04:10

Hmmm... i don't know maybe... but sometimes they check to see if you are using a proxy, idk if Mabi does though.

Infylos · 02/27/2010, 08:30

You wanna find out for me? I'll be your best frieeeend. =D

tbstewa · 02/27/2010, 13:52

proxy is checked why do you think that outside US using proxy doesn't work?
