VPNs, 4chanPass, and Bans

No.90184 ViewReplyOriginalReport
I just tried to make a post and got a notified that I needed to read a warning before posting. So I clicked that, and apparently that IP had been banned in February which expired March 9th ... yeah, that wasn't me.

I use a VPN. Now I'm paranoid. If I wake up and log in one day with a VPN IP that has a lifetime ban, 4chan will instantly link it to my 4chanPass making the pass useless. How are we supposed to combat something like that?
