Why am I seeing “Registrations from this IP address are not allowed.”?
If you receive this message while trying to create a BrickVerse account, it means our system has temporarily blocked new registrations from your current internet connection (IP address).
This doesn’t always mean you did something wrong — but it does mean the IP you’re using has been linked to activity that violated our rules.
🚫 Why this happens
BrickVerse uses automated and manual security systems to protect the platform from abuse. Your IP address may be restricted from registering new accounts for one of the following reasons:
1. Connection to a banned or suspended account
Your IP address was recently used by an account that was:
Permanently banned
Temporarily suspended
Involved in serious rule violations (scams, exploits, harassment, etc.)
To prevent repeat abuse, new registrations from that same connection may be blocked.
2. Repeated rule-breaking from the same network
If multiple accounts created from the same IP were banned in a short time, the system may automatically restrict further sign-ups from that network.
This commonly happens with:
Shared households where someone previously broke the rules
School or public networks
VPN or proxy services used by many people
3. Use of VPNs, proxies, or anonymizers
Some VPN and proxy IP ranges are flagged because they are frequently used to:
Evade bans
Create spam accounts
Abuse platform systems
If you are using a VPN, try turning it off and registering again using your normal home connection.
4. Public or shared internet connections
If you’re on:
School Wi-Fi
Library or café internet
Apartment or dorm shared networks
Another person on that same network may have violated BrickVerse rules, which can cause the entire IP to be restricted.
✅ What you can do
✔ Try switching networks
If possible, attempt registration using:
Your home internet (without a VPN)
Mobile data (cellular hotspot)
Sometimes simply changing networks resolves the issue immediately.
✔ Restart your router (home users)
Some internet providers assign dynamic IP addresses. Restarting your modem/router may give you a new IP that is not restricted.
🔎 Registration Error Codes
Along with the message “Registrations from this IP address are not allowed.”, you may sometimes see a numeric error code. These codes help our support team understand the reason for the restriction more quickly.
Error 101 — Linked to a banned or suspended account
This IP address was recently used by an account that is currently:
Banned, or
Temporarily suspended
To prevent repeat violations, new registrations from the same connection are blocked for a period of time.
This does not automatically mean you were the person who broke the rules, but someone using this network did.
Error 102 — Manual network restriction
This IP address is part of a restriction manually placed by BrickVerse staff.
Unlike Error 101, this restriction may be applied even if there is no single specific account directly tied to the action. This can occur when a network is repeatedly used for:
Large-scale abuse
Coordinated spam or scams
Attempts to bypass enforcement systems
Because this type of restriction is reviewed and applied by staff, it may take longer to be lifted.
📨 Appealing with an error code
If you contact support, include the error code shown with the message. This allows us to review the situation much faster.
Example:
“I receive ‘Registrations from this IP address are not allowed’ with error code 101 when trying to sign up.”
❗ Important to know
This block only affects new account registrations
Existing accounts can still log in normally (unless separately restricted)
Attempting to bypass this system to avoid a ban may result in further enforcement
✔ Contact BrickVerse Support
If you believe this restriction is a mistake, you can appeal.
When contacting support, include:
The exact error message
Your approximate location (country/state only — no exact address)
Whether you’re on home, school, work, or public Wi-Fi
Confirmation that you are not trying to bypass a previous ban
This helps us review your case faster.
Still stuck?
If you continue seeing this error after trying a different network, please reach out to BrickVerse Support so we can investigate and help you get started safely.
We appreciate your patience — these protections help keep BrickVerse fun and fair for everyone.
