About a week ago I tried to go to /toy/ and was shocked to find I had been banned from 4chan. Permanently. The charge was posting Anontalk spam. My first reaction was to complain for a mistaken ban, but then reconsidered and ran some scans first. I found some malware on my computer, so I assume my computer had been hijacked and used to spam 4chan. I cleaned things up, got all the latest updates, made sure all auto-updaters were working. Then I appealed to tell what (I think) had happened and that I had done all I could to prevent it from happening again. And waited. And waited. And I'm still waiting.

Anyhow, thanks to /toy/ I now have some websites I can check to get info on western toys coming out in the near future, but /toy/ used to be my only sauce of info on Japanese toys like Revoltech, Figma, Robot Tamashii etc. Now I've got nothing. Do you know any good sites that could be of use? I can't read moonrunes to save my life, so anything in English would be preferrable.

tl;dr: Now that 4chan won't let me back, where can I find the latest info on Japanese toys?

You could just reset your IP. What sort of internet connection do you have, and do you use a router?

I've already looked into that, and found that the only way to change my IP on this ISP is by changing the MAC address. And since I'm not sure I'll know how to do that without screwing things up royally, I'd rather leave it as an option of last resort. For all I know somebody may still review my appeal some day... I hope.

They'll just deny it. Same deal here. That's what happened.

Your computer got raped by a spambot too? How long did it take for them to review your appeal?

like a week. I'd suggest trying IRC but you honestly aren't going to get much. just reset your ip.

Well, looks like I'm in a similar boat now... my work IP got blocked for spam. I ran some scans and there nothing malicious here, but it's a shared IP I think so who knows what really happened to earn the block. Whatever the reason, I'm pretty much out of luck. Oh well. I shouldn't be on 4chan at work anyways.

I appealed and got unblocked a month ago for the same problem. It's a minor hassle, like losing a TV station you thought you never watched.

Wow. I decided to give changing my MAC address a try to see if I could get back to 4chan again, and before doing that I went to check one more time, and I had been unbanned! It only took them a little over two months do review my appeal. Good thing I wasn't in a hurry.

Aaaaand I'm banned again, because of a fucking anontalk spam virus. I don't even know how it managed to snake through two antivirus/malware scanners, but here we are. Can't someone go strangle Kimmo Alm to death with his own intestines already?
