Ip banned for posting a normal comp

I suspect it is more the case that it is triggered by some behaviour or content being posted,

well that needs looking at then because my posting behaviour and content is restricted to reporting spam, explaining why a post has been moved, explaining a rule in a post, other BG type posts or very occasionally posting a non BG related post about an offer or something.

Quite how that behaviour/content pinpoints me as a potential spammer I don't know!

Hi redfox

It's an unfortunate side effect of our spam measures, which we're constantly tweaking, so could you bear with us if it happens again?

I'd suggest a different word than 'unfortunate' might be more appropriate.

I had this today.

I got this message a few days ago, and am still waiting for the ban to be lifted. I have been in touch with the MSE team, but believe that the holidays are affecting how long it takes for them to deal with a query.

I'm away from home today, which is why I can access the forum today.

Anyway, I hope it gets fixed soon so I can continue browsing and posting in the forum from home.

Day 8 and my home IP address is still banned.

I'm having to tether my laptop to my phone to post this ....

I have three open tickets about this with MSE zendesk

The block on my IP has now been lifted, so I can read and post on the forum from home again :j:j:j

Thank you MSE Megan :beer:
