I don’t really know if it’s a ban evasion or n or, I didn’t see it in the forum rules that using VPN is against the forum rules, and I haven’t even seen any thread that’s against using VPN. I think maybe when you write a post and you plagiarize, or you did something wrong and your account got banned, if you create another account, then that’s ban evasion, and if the account is reported, it’s going to be banned also. But this case is a different one, I don’t know if the OP evaded a ban. Seriously, I will really like someone to explain this better to me.

I followed the thread briefly. To me it looks that the OP had an issue with proxy ban. A proxy ban could be entirely not a user's fault and may flag an IP range as evil because other users behaved nastly (e.g. if you use Tor and the Tor exit node had other evil users). OP didn't want the pay for other IP address range users evilness, that's totally understandable. This all assuming, OP tells the truth and doesn't hide something he did in the forum in the past (which he obviously wouldn't disclose with his alt account).

To my knowledge there are no forum rules against VPN use, so why do you bring it up? Additionally, what makes you postulate or phantasize OP got banned for some ban-worthy nefarious actions with his other account?

I guess you didn't follow the due process when creating the account because if you fail to do the requirement needed to create Bitcointalk.org account as a newbie, your account will be showing not enable to post in any forum but the moment you follow the due process to register your account, you will begin to have access to post or reply to any body in the forum.

I'm curious what this due process is? The forum poses minimal requirements for an an account registration: an unique username, a valid email address, a visual verification captcha and passing the additional Recaptcha (JavaScript required). (I verified via a Tor browser and initiated a registration process, but didn't finish it 'cause I don't need an alt account.)

I'm asking because I've no idea what due process there could be. If the forum's proxy flags your IP range as evil then you have
