Lurkerfag here. My IP was banned on Feb. 14th and appealed on Feb. 17th. I have never posted~ before or after. I tried once AFTER these dates and got the notice ban. Suspect a good deal of the shills are lurker IP’s being comped. Doubly good for them. 1) Free IP to use and 2) bump off one that would not be missed, from adding anything. Will continue to lurk and learn.
