 Why did my username get blocked?
Article If you tried to log in and got a 'blocked' message, one of the following will apply:

  • Temporary IP Block / Too Many Failed Attempts to Log In
    • If you have multiple unsuccessful log-in attempts, your IP address will be blocked for a short period of time.
    • Please ensure that you wait at least 10 minutes and re-start your web browser before trying to log-in again.
  • Username Block / Account sharing violation:
    • Too many unique IP addresses have accessed the member area using the same username and password.
      • This can happen if you share your log-in information.  Remember that your membership is for you only, and that you are not permitted to give out your username and password to anyone.
      • Repeated abuse will result in termination of your membership without refund.
      • Please submit a ticket to support to have your user name unblocked.
  • Max Download Violation
    • In order to ensure fast page-loading and download speeds for all our members, we have implemented a reasonable daily download limit on all user accounts.
    • Please note that our limit is higher than industry standard, and you can still download thousands of photos and video files every day.
    • If you were blocked for maximum download violation, you will be sent an email from our support staff.
    • Please note that we do not allow website mirroring, ripping or scraping software to be used to download our site.
