1) Is your IP address the same every day?
2) Are you sure that the actual site is banning you and not work software banning the site?
3) Try different web browsers.

Answers:
1. I dunno. Would a site ban a large company site from using their site because it wanted to ban one guy?
2. Yes. It specifically says I’m banned and my banning has x number of minutes to go. It also has the permaban warning.
3. We are only allowed to use one specific browser here, and I don’t have admin rights.

I’ve been banned from a certain very liberal site.

I just (or used to) re-register from my work computer. The organization has, I guess, a block of IP addresses.

Here’s the thing, though, eventually I got banned again, even though I did nothing against the rules. What I figure is that the work server just rotated through the IP addresses, and when I hit one that had been banned, it kicked me off.

Eventually, I grew bored. I maintain a presence there from my home computer so that I can lurk. Also, they have a very interesting group about cooking that I sometimes post to.

Other than that, I mainly avoid the place. there’s not much fun in listening to idiots if you can’t point out there idiocy to them.
