So this is an issue that has become a recurring theme here on the site. Members trying to login to the site, are unable to do so and are being confronted with a message telling them that they have been banned from the site.
In all likelihood, you have not been banned! But you may need to do one of the following to be able to log into the site.
Clear your cookie cache. 9 times out of ten this should solve the problem straight away. I'm not sure why the forum software has this glitch, but it does. I've not been able to find a solution.
If clearing the cookie cache does not solve the problem, then turn off your VPN if you are using one.
If you have any other issues with this then just email johnmconnors (at) protonmail (dot) com and we'll try and help.
