I recently signed up for a trial account on SA - basic/non-paid. I liked what I saw in terms of local talent, and was going to sign up for a paid account. However, was not able to do so, as I was unable to sign in, and instead got an email saying I was "permabanned"! Remember, as a basic member, I was unable to do anything other than browse - was unable to PM anyone. All I can think of is that I always use Tor to connect - is that somehow a TOS violation? If so, can't see how I could signup (I take privacy and discretion seriously
Think of it as a fancy proxy server. Using Tor, I don't give away my real IP address to SA - it will be different every time. I also use a disposable email address whenever needed for hobby/SA contacts.
Tor is a web browser that allows you to browse the web anonymously and also access the Dark Web. See attached link.
