What were you trying to do when this happened?
Was it just a one off thing?

Was trying to post into the Adelaide general observations thread. Had a go with my pc and my phone but got that message both times so I'm satisfied it's not something at my end.

Well I managed this thread late last night plus the two replies today but haven't done anything else as I've been at work. What would prompt that message to appear? Is it a server setting and if so is it board specific? Wondering if one of the other devices here has generated something that iinet has flagged or whether it is something the board itself has flagged.

From an IT perspective there is this (for this board's software):

An admin would need to check the logs (either for the board software or that mod, if installed) to find out exactly what tripped that block, but seems it's probably done a match of something in Skexis' profile to one of the lists it uses (typically it uses email domains, but could be other related items like IP ranges too).

Might be a way to lead life, but more like the way that some people drive.
