I imagine you are not banned, just the public computer -- who knows what people using that computer have done to warrant being on a blacklist? Can you find another public computer to use?

When I first joined I got a message that I was banned. I hadn't even been to this site before that. I send them a message and they fixed it. Maybe you should try the same.

We use a number of spam-fighting methods here, and one of them is to block known spammy IP addresses. This unfortunately, but very rarely, catches legitimate people trying to register with us. A quick email to our community support address will always fix the problem (which has been fixed in your case as well).

Best,
DocJohn

Thanks for answers. Im here from my mobile phone now and im still here but the question is - will i be blocked if i logged here on from public computer? I was trying to register here from computer of the place i work and they didnt let me. We have one IP adress to all house so... I hope if i logged here from this computer again i wont be blocked.
The question is - should i do it? I dont want my account to be deleted.

It mostly catches IPs that are not static. It means the computer you use will probably cycle off the banned range after a while. You can also find the IP of that connection, google it and see what blacklists it appear on and ask to have it removed.

You will not be blocked if you login from a public computer.

If you are trying to log in from your work computer, the "banning" could be a message from your work computer system not wanting to come to this site, not this site not wanting you. I know a lot of work computers don't let you go certain places that are not related to work. I would talk to the administrator of your work computer about group sites (in general, not necessarily mentioning this site by name) and see what company policy is.

I've seen the same message. I know my university is blacklisted for some reason. It only appears if you've tried to register on a blacklisted connection (but you don't know it's blacklisted until after you sign up).

Don't worry, it won't appear again.
