Banned

[LBeachey 44]

I have been a member for a while and only occasionally visit.  Here is my Issue.

 

When I use Google Chrome only on my one personal computer, I get a Banned Message.  Google Chrome on other computers or other browsers work fine. Right now I am using Microsoft Edge.  How do I clear this?  MY assumption is there may have been a virus maybe that attacked the site from Chrome? Any help from Admins or other types is appreciated.

There is nothing we can see as moderators that should cause this, I am so sorry.
I have pinged @Captain Ewok  to see if he can help.

Thanks, it is possible it is something on my end but one of the other mods suggested I post it here.

Once someone or some thing is "Banned", it is done in 2 ways - by IP address and/or by email address.
 

Since your email probably wouldn't be banned, try changing your IP address - e.g., through a VPN, or possibly by simply re-connecting to your Internet provider.

 

IP addresses are constantly changing, so someone else may have been previously banned while using that IP address.

Clear your cookies/cache.  It will fix it.

Thanks Captain, after Randy’s reply I dawned on me that it might be the cookie. Do you have any idea what the name of the cookie that the site generates is? While cookies get a bad rap, I would prefer not to clear all my cookies.
