A range-ban is a type of punishment handed down by 4chan moderators. Unlike a normal ban, a range of several IP addresses associated with a user is blocked from posting preemptively. This is needed to ban some users whose internet connections assign IP addresses dynamically. A range-ban may only apply to certain boards.
Controversies
There is a popular conspiracy theory claiming that moderators are intentionally trigger-happy when issuing range-bans because it will force more posters to purchase a 4chan pass.
The range-ban system in general has been criticized because innocent users who happen to share an ISP with rule-breaking posters become banned despite having done nothing wrong.
Sometimes entire countries or large swathes of them are rangebanned, usually Finland[1][2][3][4] and India,[5][6][7] as part of the temporary extended length global rules to fight spam and build back better. Denmark was rangebanned temporarily when a Danish /pol/ user spammed flat earth infographics redpills for several weeks.
Trivia
They will never rangeban Israel.
Types
Full
Completely prevents posting. OP posts, image/file replies, and text replies are blocked.
Uploading files
Blocks any posts that have a file, which also includes new threads since they require an image/file. Thanks moot.
Creating new threads
Prevents the IP range from creating new OPs. Users of the range can still post images/files in replies to other threads.
