Why has my IP address been banned by Money Saving Expert?

Can't sleep, quit counting sheep and talk directly to the shepherd :cool:

    Some ISPs do issue static IP addresses, which never change. However, they are in the minority and most issue dynamic addresses. But each ISP has only a limited ‘stock’ of IPs, so they get passed between customers - meaning you may have picked up an IP address from a different Money Saving Expert (MSE) forum user who got themselves banned.

    This happened to me once. My IP was banned, so I logged in again and it was all ok.
    Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.
