[SOLVED] IP banned, with instructions for ways to login?

Post by ineuw »

This is an unknown area for me. Why did this happen? Just curious, since I followed the instructions and here I am. Is this another mysterious message in the same vein as the length of the word "Mozilla"?

Oh, OK. Thanks, I consider the issue solved. Perhaps I should delete all cookies and then log in.

Same problem tonight. Says I was banned till a month later. On the page, it did mention a workaround - type "anything", then get into the site. That worked. If this post appears, then the problem will be solved.

It looks like I came to the right category in the forums. Thought it might be a mZ issue; but apparently not. Also see where the Admin is gone; but don't think that's related either. I haven't posted for some time.

This happened to me awhile ago. I couldn't e-mail an org; as their web domain had banned my IP. That might have been related to my computer acquiring malware, and redistributing it. That problem had been cleared up, but I ended up getting the e-mail problem escalated at Microsoft, and they contacted the web blacklister, to whitelist my e-mail account (Hotmail) again. Problem solved - but with a lot of work.

Finally... the real I wanted to get on mZ, was just to check out the Forums, to see if there was a problem with a new version of FF being bug-laden... but that doesn't seem to be the case at all. I still think it's a browser problem, but not that.

As the OP, I marked it solved because it never happened to again.
