I was in the middle of catching up on the frontpage and looking at random images, when all of a sudden one of the links I open takes me to a page saying that I was IP banned. I panicked for a second, then tried opening a new tab and accessing the site again. As far as I can tell, I am not IP banned in any way. Should I be worried? Is this common?

I am fairly certain this was a real page and not the result of a rogue ad taking over the webpage. Believe it or not, I still try to access the site without Adblock.

You used two ip addresses to visit the womp womp entry more than 1,500 times in less than 5 minutes.

That's… no good. I can assure you that I was not doing anything of the sort intententionally. Now I'm worried about the integrity of my account and possibly my computer…
Anyhow, I'm checking back now and the IP ban is certainly in place. I'll send a repeal email to get this sorted out.
