My dorm's wifi just got banned at around 2 a.m., around 15 minutes before I posted this. (I'm accessing this site via 4G).
I'm guessing this wasn't due to any of my actions, because my account still exists, and I'm not 100% sure how I.P.s work, but I think a public wifi is covered under a single I.P. so another's actions could have potentially resulted in the ban.
I'd check my e-mail, but the account I used to sign up for this site is inaccessible for reasons I won't go into.
Either that, or my new avatar image was cursed.
Anyway apologies if I actually did anything and didn't realize it (which is totally possible) and for not being around as often in the immediate future (4G is expensive, yo).
I'm sure there's some way to figure things out, and I'll try to do that when I get the spare time and alternate internet access. That's not going to happen right away, unfortunately.
(Note to mods: sorry if this was posted in the wrong forum. It seemed like the best choice, but I apologize if I was wrong.)

It could have been an automatic ban but there are very clear instructions in the ban message so I don't know why you made this thread.
Note to mods: this is a higher level ban that you don't have access to.
I found your ip and you were automatically banned for repeatedly accessing the login page.
You're logged in already so it's either a browser extension or just something about linux chrome that's doing it.

HOLY SHIT JAMES ACTUALLY POSTS IN THREADS.
Also if you ever have an issue like this, downloading Ublock Proxy, Free VPN Hotspot Shield extension for Firefox/Chrome/Opera works (though a number of other free vpn extensions also work).

Okay, thanks. Sorry, I posted this at a little after 2a.m. in the morning, when my higher cognitive functions weren't exactly working. I guess I was just confused so I figured it was best to post my confusion here, in hopes of further information.
Sorry if this was spam, and thanks for the information. Um, I guess this thread should be locked or something now?
