Okay, so I got the shock of my life a few minutes ago when I realized that my IP address had been banned by Macinsiders for violating the code of conduct. Luckily, I have another intenet connection, which I'm using right now.
Why was my other IP address banned?

Do you have two accounts? lol
If you have multiple accounts, and you were trolling with one then your IP address can get banned
If not, maybe it was a bug.

I have only one account. I said that I'm now logging in using a different internet connection, not with a different account. I don't see how anyone can possibly have multiple accounts given that they have to register using their McMaster email id.
Yeah, maybe it was a bug.

Nope, it's my private home connection.

Hi Thomas.
Apologies for the inconvenience. I'll look this later today and correspond with you via private message.
