How can I check if I’m banned on 4chan? Any reliable methods?

If you're seeing "forbidden," it's likely a ban. 4chan doesn't make it obvious, so it's hard to check if banned on 4chan.

Try logging out and seeing if you can view the board. If you can, then your account or IP is banned.

VPNs might work, but 4chan is pretty strict about bans, so it might not last long.
