Random Bann?

[Purplegrl94]

Ok.. Well i have a couple of penguins.And everytime I log onto any penguin of mine it says I have been banned for 24hr. But the thing is I dont remember doing anything bad really..
Has this been happening to anybody else? Because its getting on my last nerve.

It could be from when someone reports you.

Happened to me once.
It could be either a bug like you said
or someone is going on your account and getting banned.

might wanna watch it, you get perma banned at 4 or 5.

Its on club penguin not forums.
And yea i figured its a hacker but its happing to like every penguin i have.

Have any brothers or sisters?, or have you
recently used a public computer at a school, library, study hall?

You could e-mail Club Penguin because if it happens too many times, it will result in a perma-ban. Change your password as soon as you are unbanned. Make it a bit more tricky.

a hacker banned mine for 3 days!!!:mad: :mad: :mad:

That is not good........like your grammar.


Anyways, when it happened to me I emailed
cp and they responded with "your account has
been located and you were banned for cussing"

Well I don't remember cussing.

Email them it helps alot.

But they respond faster if you use good grammar and puncuiation.

Keylogging.

It's a virus of sorts that you can pick up without noticing. You might be clicking around on the internet and pick it up. Make sure your Internet Security is updated, and use a security program such has Norton, Spysweeper, McAfee, etc. Check for updates on those, and make sure it alerts you whenever it picks up something.

Now for keylogging: keyloggers basically send a virus which sends every letter you type to their computer, allowing them to get your passwords, log in names, credit card numbers, or anything else of value. I've been keylogged twice, and I learned my lesson the hard way. Now, I use tight internet security programs, and it hasn't happened since.

Also, like Phemon said; did you log into CP at school or somewhere on a public computer? Someone can easily go into the system files and knab your password. Or, you could have accidentally used the 'Remember Me' on a public computer, and someone else goes to log in on CP, and see's your name and password. That's happened before as well.

Check with Club Penguin staff via e-mail and track your online status.

Be careful! Hope that helped!

And it did help.
But i emailed them and they said i was cursing..I dont remember cursing at all.

Pretty close. A keylogger does not usually drop a virus. A keylogger is spyware. SpySweeper (not free) Spybot-Search & Destroy (free) and Ad-Aware (free, the best freebie out there) are all great products for eliminating these info-stealing pests. Some of them also take screenshots of what you are doing so they can see what password is used in which context.

When this happens, just email CP.
They will usually tell you if you have done something wrong.
They may now if you were banned from a hacker.
