Banned out the blue

[riddymon]

Hi folks,

Sorry this is off-topic but not too sure where to post it. I'm writing this from my phone because my IP i'm assuming was banned so I can no longer access the site from home. Any idea of what I should do to get unbanned? Not sure what happened and anyone who's seen me around here knows I don't cause any issues. Any help would be great. Please advise. Thanks.. ???

The best suggestion is to power cycle your modem, since you probably have a dynamic IP.

It seems that there was a significant banning problem earlier. I and my wife were both banned for a while. For now, it look looks as if it's been corrected. We were using rogers.ca IP addresses. What about you guys?

Looking at the IP Address that it claims that I am posting from, it says 198.143.32.33 - which is not my own IP Address. It's the address of a proxy server run by Incapsula, which I'm not intending to use. What do you see on your posts?

Restarting the modem helped.

Same..except my last octet is .1
The ISPs maybe using their routers/servers....no idea *shrug*

That won't help me as I'm allocated a fixed address. Same for a lot of Rogers cable customers I suspect.
