I logged in today and it said "Sorry Nightowlace, you have been banned from posting and sending personal messages. Virus"

Anyone know what that was about? I had to log out, turn my VPN off and now log back in.

Your VPN IP must have been flagged for something?

Yeah I'm not sure what for though. I don't think I have done anything remotely close to getting an IP or myself flagged.

Is it a public VPN where there may be a couple of users on there?

It must be. i tried visiting Bitvisitor.com with my Spotflux VPN running and get a message about my ip being suspicious
My negative trust rating is reflective of a personal vendetta by someone on default trust.

The VPN used might have been used by a spammer before. We regularly IP-ban a lot of accounts, and most TOR nodes/public VPN's get blanket-banned together.

Ahh, yes it's a public VPN. Thanks for the help everyone. I seriously was scratching my head going how in the heck did I get banned?
