As salamu alaikum,
I've come across this situation alot. Usually members come on forums, have a disagreement with some of the mods or members and they end up getting banned. Sometimes, its necessary to gain entry and clear one of the false accusation or whatever they put up on the banned member.
So how do you gain re-entry to the forum? Well Forums ban people via their IP Address. So the simplest solution is to get another IP address that is not in the database of banned IP addresses for the forum. One can use a proxy to achieve this, which basically masks the person's IP address with the IP address of the proxy.
One of the simplest proxy is Hide My Ass (it's ok, you can laugh). Simply go to the site, type in the site you wish to access and voila! you've got access again (provided the IP address of that proxy isn't banned). Keep in mind, you probably won't be able to use your userID on whatever forum you've got banned from, but at least you can register a new userID and do as you please.
Keep in mind, this also works for certain other things where IP addresses have been banned.
Enjoy!
As salamu alaikum
