I received the following message on attempting to login today:
"I'm sorry, but you are banned. You may not post, read threads, or access the forum. Please contact your forum administrator should you have any questions."
This is because I use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) and it seems someone didn't like the look of my proxy. When I disabled the VPN, or used a different proxy, all was well. Reproducible, so perhaps security has been tightened recently as this hasn't happened before.
Worth bearing in mind if you're faced with a general ban at login.
