- hilariousandco, thank you for step by step answer you gave to my post. I like the way you made the answers well formatted along with my questions. You said "evil" fee is to avoid people abusing some proxies. But why is the name "evil" used. It should have been an euphemism or to use a word synonymous to evil. I mean the "evil" on its own looks damaging and scary. Imagine coming to a forum and is immediately faced with an evil.

It's certainly the first time I've seen someone worried about this specific terminology but perhaps we could rename them? Naughty points? Mischief tokens? Cursed connection? I don't think you should take the word literally but just that someone has previously abused the connection.

It is noted... I also read this about the evil fee on the internet

There are instances when a newly registered account may not be able to post due to the reason that the IP address used in registering for the account has evil points. To be able to use the account, the member can opt to pay the necessary amount to lift the restriction. The reason for having an evil IP address is because of having a previously banned account that was linked to it.

Glad to hear you can now freely post and explore here. Just keep in mind those rules and you're good to go. Also don't forget check the other threads recommended on how to earn merits so you'll rank up.

This is why I don't really trust proxies when it comes to registering personal accounts coz usually those who sell share there IPs(specially those you don't know personally) has something on their mind other than sharing the IP. There is also a huge risk that you'd get affected if something will happen to them for example IP ban so best be careful.
