If you're using a proxy, it's not safe to log in and post comments, for that you'll need to get a VPN.

PirateBrowser is good for browsing, but isn't suitable for use in accessing your account to log in, so if you're considering a VPN, start here:

Proxies have nothing to with TPB and are really only good for browsing the site, so a VPN is the only way to remain anonymous.

You CANNOT use PirateBrowser or Vidalia or Tor to post comments on TPB.
They are blocked.
That is why you are getting the database error messages.
There is nothing that you or anyone here can do about that.
Either stop using them, and pay for a VPN so that you can comment, or continue using them for free and accept that you will not be able to comment.

There's a lot of talk of vpn's up in this thread.
Trust me, paying for a vpn doesn't necessarily allow you to comment.
Asshats use vpns as well and get them banned.
Cash does not necessarily equal win.

Yes, paid VPNs do get banned.
But, they're banned less often than free vpn's/proxies/whatever; because asshats prefer to abuse free services rather than ones they have to pay for.
And they're unbanned more often; because mods can see that the majority of users of a given IP are not banned, and because more legitimate users are affected by such bans so squeals arise more rapidly.
While cash does not necessarily equal win, using PirateBrowser to comment does almost always equal lose (as Catrix02 has discovered).
What is the point of banning ips? Ip doesn't equal a person. Why not just delete the comments/torrents from people who don't follow the rules.

Because that same person is still using the same IP and without the ban can continue to register new accounts and upload new garbage and comments.
There are also many IPs that are TOR exit nodes or proxies that are continually abused. Obviously leaving those unbanned will be nothing but trouble.
Until a better system comes along, banning IP addresses is the only way to block the flood.
