When we get more abuse from a single IP address than we do legitimate traffic, we really have no choice but to block it. If you don't think you did anything wrong and don't understand why your IP was banned.Īre you using a proxy server or running a browser add-on for "privacy", "being anonymous", or "changing your region" or to view country-specific content, such as Tor or Zenmate? Unfortunately, so do spammers and hackers.

IP bans will be reconsidered on a case-by-case basis if you were running a bot and did not understand the consequences, but typically not for spamming, hacking, or other abuse. If you are responsible for one of the above issues. Having an excessive number of banned accounts in a very short timeframe.Running a web bot/spider that downloaded a very large number of pages - more than could possibly justified as "personal use".Automated spam (advertising) or intrustion attempts (hacking).I think it's some of the Buddhist temples where cobras in particular are allowed free reign as they are deemed sacred - now this is still in a country where snake bites are high and can be lethal, but still their opinion of these reptiles is positive.Your current IP address has been blocked due to bad behavior, which generally means one of the following: The difference across the planet is amazing in relation to these animals. I often wonder if our negative view on snakes comes from being kind of brain-washed a bit when we read the 'Garden of Eden' story? I know we have instincts that protect us from snakes - or should do - but our fear and with some people hate goes a bit deeper perhaps.
