ISP Banned message

Weird. I just tries to post a comp and it came up with an 'your ISP address has been banned' message. Annoying. I shut down rebooted and seems to be okay now. Anyone else had the same problem.

    OMG, thank goodness. I was getting soooooooooooooo paranoid that it was just me. I was thinking about all the trolls and nasties that have posted here, thinking - what can I possibly have done that is worse than that :rotfl: Is it to do with the changes they're making, do you think?
    I am brave, I am bruised
    I am who I'm meant to be
    I'm not scared to be seen
    I make no apology
    THIS IS ME!


    When you talk down to others it says more about you than them.

    I got it too, I reported it and was terrified I'd never be able to get back on! Hopefully the panic is over now and glad I wasn't the only one :)
