IP banned for spamming?

Thu Feb 01, 2018 11:08 am

I logged on tonight to upload a corrected sub, but was told my IP was blocked for spamming. I am sure I would have to visit here more often to ever be a spammer. Could someone please give me a heads up as to what is going on?

Nobody said you are a spammer. According to the error, the IP address was used for spamming. Subtle difference :)

If it wasn't you, then maybe you are using a VPN or proxy or so with a shared IP address and someone else used that IP for the abuse.
Try switching to another IP address.
Nowadays a VPN is a must for everyone. A VPN allows you safe surfing and protects you against spying governments and companies.
I advise AirVPN - from € 2,75 per month. Click the below banner for more info.

I don't use a proxy and I pretty much only get one IP.
