[Solved] Account Suspended

[metalcorpe]

Hello, user is metalcorpe. My account is suspended. I have just created this account.

You were suspended because our logs indicate you used a bot to obtain the account. Botting the signup page is not permitted because it is unfair to those who are trying to get an account normally.

Can you explain?

[metalcorpe]

Hi, I understand. I have not used any bot nor did anything programmatically. I followed the https://wiki.helionet.org/Signing_Up#Helpful_Tips_for_Getting_a_Free_Account_on_Johnny and when at 30 seconds i began clicking. Due to network lag and because i didn't now how the page reacts on success, instead of clicking and waiting, i spawned a new tab in every click (Ctrl+Click). This resulted in multiple open tabs that I later searched for the one with the mail form.

Again all actions where done manually 🙂.

Thank you

There were 94 attempts after you got the account, which seems a bit excessive. Usually there's far fewer if any. That doesn't count the 207 clicks before the registrations even opened...I don't know of too many browsers that would even handle running that number of tabs without running out of memory and crashing.

Any insights on this? Once we receive your response to the above,  I'll consider them and decide.

At least this should prove against a bot. I couldn't see what the new opened tab shows and if succeded. Ctrl+Click opens it in the background.

The guide says you can start 30 seconds before so i did.

This is the sqlite from firefox history. You can look at the visit count.

The signup page is pretty light to my understanding. 200 pages open shouldn't be that hard for a 24GB computer. I casualy have 50-80 tabs open during research.


I hope this helps. Thank you for your time.

Impressive that FF stays running, but then not surprised with the memory and the fact its FF. Chrome just falls over once I go beyond maybe 30-40 tabs on a 16GB box. The logs on our side make it look like someone beating on the page with an auto-clicker or script tool like cURL. Either way, unsuspended.  

It might take a few minutes to work.
