"Persistent troll in the area"???
All of a sudden I'm running into this:

"You have been banned: Persistent troll in your area.

This will expire in almost 10 years.

If you feel this is an error contact [email protected]"

Obviously there are ways to get around it, as this post proves, but where did that come from all of a sudden?

I'm normally accessing from germany.
sounds like a really old banned ip you might have randomly gotten, rip

I don't think so, I have a static ip. Can you check the server logs for:
v4: redacted
v6: redacted

Was working yesterday, what did I even do to get banned? I don't even login.

EDIT: It just banned my vpn IP too. I think it bans everyone after some time?
EDIT2: Thanks for fixing the problem!
This is what happened here too :'(

Accessing from Brazil
Happening in the US as well (Spectrum).

Edit: Back in now! Thanks for looking into it!
Happened to me too with the .com domain. This is weird.... How can I persistently troll without even commenting any post...
I got the same message this morning too, it was super weird.
I'm burned too. I can only get in via VPN. But it's not a long-term solution.
Had the same issue today. Seems to be fine now.
We've been having issues with troll(s) lately, and a bot automatically banned a ton of IPs. It's being worked on so I ask for your patience and understanding. (⌒ω⌒)ノ
otaku_emmy Is no problem. Unfortunately, there are idiots everywhere. Can't do anything, just wait a bit
Ah okay. Thanks for sorting this out :)
Thanks for fixing it!
I'm finally back! xD
