Because the issue seems to be with WiFi networks mostly … and as far as I’m aware most won’t be connecting to those on the farm 

Most seems to be affecting people who use the phone networks to use here.

A restart of the phone normally gets a different ip address

Imagine the scene next year if the IP ban range covers Pilton and the surrounding area…

Mobile provider's IP ranges are not that localised... My IP on my mobile as I speak says I'm in London... I'm in the midlands.

Someone has told the geolocation services that they are in London when they have been using that ip. Which just shows how they get shared around

Yep, geolocation is pointless on a county to county level. I could be given the same IP address in Newcastle upon Tyne as I could be given in St Ives with my mobile provider... (If I could get a signal in St Ives that is!) 

Geoblocking works well on a national level... Ask Netflix... It doesn't work well on a local level, well not in the UK anyway, we're way too small.

won't unblock the address you're using.

So Quark, Clarkete and Mr.B all regulars and or Gold Members are being banned and you won't change this crazy policy?

You said yourself, "A restart of the phone normally gets a different ip address ". so how does the ban stop the spammers posting? You are lucky the regulars are sympathetic, a lot of people would be livid at this.

I've only experienced it a couple of times and tbh it amused me that it happened to me and I just did something else. 

I can certainly see that if it happened during one of the big days in the festival calendar I'd likely find it more troublesome.

Just been using my mobile data via Giffgaff and I am banned. Using the WiFi in spoons and I am OK. Its not causing me to self harm but does it mean I can't use Giffgaff as I rely on that at home.

hopefully soon there will be an end to all this stuff

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
