Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I am on a University of Georgia PC and I can't connect to the main server. I'm wondering if some goofball got this IP banned or what. I'd love to connect to the main server.
So is there an assumption I am evading a ban? If so, can you prove it? How can you be sure and can you justify blocking everyone on campus because one person broke a rule?
If the message is just "Couldn't connect to server" then you most likely aren't banned and it's somehow a problem with your connection, browser, or computer, although I'm not sure what it'd be.
