This site sometimes has problems with what are known as "trolls". These are troublemakers who don't believe in chronic Lyme disease and try to discourage people from being treated.
The administrators track the IP #'s of people who have been banned to prevent them from accessing the site.
Or at least that is my understanding.

Bea, wonderful explaination and how true.
Raz, it is better to post something like this in GENERAL support since majority of folks don't go to off topic.
MEDICAL is for MEDICAL questions/situations only. We've had problems galore with folks misusing this section. ok.
Did you fix the post I asked you to that became super WIDE of 2 full screens wide? Hope so; I do want to read what you postd, but my neuro lyme won't let me read/comprehend as is.
Welcome to this 24/7 LYME support group board!
Here's TREEPATROL's and Tincup's combination newbie links.
Print off the links then check them off as you read as you could spend several months reading all of this.
print & read Dr. Burrascono's 2005 info first; you will come back to this often.
Extensive info in Treepatrol''s newbie links about the meaning of WESTERN BLOT IGM/IGG test results from Igenex! Be sure to read or print this info IF Igenex tested you ok!
Also, see Cheryl''s extensive web sites on: LD DIAGNOSIS, SYMPTOMS, & TREATMENT ... wonderful! Read the area on CO-INFECTIONS! You could have from 1-12 other illnesses that tick is carrying...lyme, malaria, etc.
If you are showing symptoms of co-infections, I would like to suggest being tested for co-infections when you have LYME western blots done. It isn''t cheap!! But if you are positive, you can treat the co-infections first, and then work on LYME symptoms.
mention you have lyme and marshall protocol, they will give you 20% off!
Also they have been kind enough to replace the SCRATCHED LENSES & BROKEN BOWS! How's that for service?
I don't drive often at night, but I can wear NOIR's 901 lenses at night while driving; it creates soft candle lights coming at me...tolerable. NOT to wear in town with all the action of people crossing where they shouldn't be, etc.
from LOU to Betty on LONG web links and Thank You Lou!: "If you hit the return key in the middle of a link, I don't think it will be clickable anymore. An alternative that maybe Betty should be telling people about is the tiny url website. I have it on my tool bar at the top of the page and use it for those incredablylongwebsiteaddresses.
All you have to do is ask tiny url to produce a short version, which it will do with a unique address, which you then use instead in your post. Works just the same when clicked! Here is the website, spread the word!
3-1-06, fyi, I tried dragging tinyurl to my toolbar without success, so that''s why I currently have LONG addresses vs. short tiny ones! I''ll keep trying.

Likely every single website you visit has the capability to log your IP address. When I look on my web site statisitics I can see who visited, when, how many pages they looked at, search terms that got them there, what page they exit on, etc.
Besides to gain an understanding of the site users for marketing purposes, it is also for protection of the website. If there is a security issue they can trace the source of the problem.
Don't be concerned at all about it. Hackers can easily get your IP address. The best way to protect your computer is to ensure your firewall and security settings are properly configured and are up to date. The site administrators here are not hacking our puters. Rest easy.
