Banned by the administrator

[TLMD]

When I visit the forum without being logged in, I currently get the following message (also see screenshot below): "The administrator has banned your IP adress. To contact the administrator click here" If I click on that link, all I get is a "400 bad request".

Why does that happen? Can you make this undone?

And if I am logged in and click on the forums tab in the navbar, I get the same error.


Edit:
And how can I add screenshots here? The picture link in the advanced editor does not work. The add photo option does not work.

Use the Share Pictures tab for now until the other bug is fixed.

IP Addresses are banned if they take part in an attack such as a DDOS on the server. That is the only reason they are banned. I don't think we've manually banned any IP addresses for a couple of years now.

I tried to use the share photos option in my initial post, but it didn't work.

Weird. I have changed nothing here on my side and I am still using the same browser, but since yesterday the error is gone. I can't reproduce the error anymore, so I have no chance to say something more specific about it or enter a bug report in JIRA.
