(1) Did you get a message specifically stating you were denied access to the forum? Or ... ?
(2) When did these non-access incidents occur? I need to have a timeframe to target in checking whether any IP addresses you used were identical with banned / spammer accounts.
Bans are issued on specific IP addresses or sets of specific IP addresses associated with a (e.g.) spammer. I'm not aware that we have any ability to ban a range of IP addresses.
On the other hand ... Our security transactions are managed by an outboard resource (CloudFlare). I don't know whether CloudFlare imposes any blanket or range-wide blocks based on our ban actions.
