IP address blocked - why?

Options
I usually check the MSE forums on my lunch break at work but today found that MSE appears to have blocked that IP address. Now I don't think I have posted anything that is goes against MSE's rules/guidelines (and I haven't deleted any of my posts)

I am currently accessing MSE via my phone hence (hopefully!) being able to post this. What have I done MSE, or have I been mixed up with someone else?

I enjoy looking out for bargains on my lunch break, often helps me decide where to go shopping after work ;)

If someone at MSE can give me an answer and unblock the IP address in question that would be fab, thank you :)

    Maybe someone else you work with has fallen foul of MSE rules and caused the IP address to be blocked?

    It sounds like your work has put a filter on the internet activity..
  • Slowhand, there are over 200 staff here so quite possible I guess.

    Sosdon - it's definitely at MSE's end - when I try to access the MSE site I get as far as MSE itself which I wouldn't with the sites work has blocked. A message from MSE is then displayed, informing me that MSE has blocked that particular IP address.

    Oh well, guess I will be squinting at my phone at lunchtime trying to find all the bargains then ;)
