This was introduced about 3 weeks ago in response to a large amount of spam attacks.
There is a thread about it on Site Feedback here: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6149721/a-spam-blocker-on-my-account-really/p1 although they do seem to have changed the conditions slightly.
Hopefully they will soon find a better way to stop the spammers and let the genuine posters get on with it.3 -

Ouch! Hope they will sort this out too, and hope all you lovely posters will get your bans lifted, and permanently so,
Blu XXXI 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.2 -
Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear this. Hardly a nice message to get when you're being helpful and kind by posting comps 😟.I hope it gets sorted soon.xx2

This was happening to me but I posted a few times today and didn't get blocked so figured it was fixed.

I've just got the same thing now & I'm blocked because I posted 3 of the Your Cat July comps in 4 minutes. The same thing happened last month. I struggle sitting for long at my computer which is why I don't post much or do the daily thread anymore so it's really hard for me. I wanted to post all of them quickly & then go & rest but I can't, I have to come back in 10 minutes & post 2 more then wait a few more minutes & do some more. It's ridiculous. Also when I did a search to check nobody had already posted them I got a bad gateway message something about Cloudflare & Vanilla. I've had this message before on MSE since they changed the website. I don't get it on any other website so does anybody know what it is please?
