I’m just curious if any of the admins have been blocking IP addresses? For some reason the site is now blocked on our home network but not on other networks.

I certainly haven’t done anything nefarious, but was curious.

No, we haven't blocked any IP addresses recently. Did you only have issues this morning? The site was down briefly.

We are running an anti-spam mechanism that potentially could have blocked an IP address that was suspected be spam but when I compared the lists you IP addresses were not on that list.

Seems to be fine now. Was odd this morning. Mobile network was fine but connecting over home network was being blocked.

Yeah, I am not sure what that was all about. There are spam IP addresses that have been blocked but none of them were from any of the IP addresses you have logged in from. There were some issues earlier this morning for a very short time so maybe that was what it was. Regardless, I'm glad you're in now.

If you're going to get banned you'll know it! haha
