Getting banned message

[CodeSlapper]

I am trying to post and I am getting a message you have been banned. I haven't broken any rules that I know of nor have I received any messages in my email or when I log onto the site.

Hi, are you running a VPN of some sort? This may result in that message. JUst disable the VPN when using Toms Hardware and ur good.

your account has not been banned.

if you are using a vpn you may get the message if we have blocked that vpn due to spammer abuse. if you do not use a vpn and instead have issues posting from two different locations it could be that an ip address you use is on our block list because of spammer abuse.

you may want to clarify when you receive these messages vs when you do not.

You haven't been banned, so it's likely due to the IP you're trying to post from.

Please PM me the IP in question, and I'll look into it.

It was at work so it likely was a vpn. Thanks for all the info.
