Come now... you don't disrupt forum functionality BY using a proxy.
We even have a nice list with examples of how you can disrupt forum functionality:
Quote:Disrupting Forum Functionality
Attempting to disrupt or disable forum functionality, through any means possible is not allowed. This includes but is not limited to the following behaviors:
Removing all content from posts.
Attempting to bypass the permissions system to gain access to forums which are restricted.
Attempting to access other member's accounts.
Uploading malicious files, either by using the attachment functionality, or by storing the file within the database.
Attempting to exploit bugs or vulnerabilities in the forum software or the server on which the forums run.
Organizing or participating in denial of service attacks against the forum.
It is true that I've been seeing a lot of errors, today, due to server overload.... so, maybe, now, someone is disrupting forum functionality.... but those need not be members...
