I had a strange error where I couldn't access the site. Clearing my cache and re-opening the browser fixed it.
Mitsu knows.

unfortunately no I don't. It was just a white background with a bunch of text tellin me that I was banned & I should PM either a mod or an admin through IRC or there Web Client, if I thought it was a mistake which I'm dead sure it was.

That's not a ban. The site was probably lagging again.

That's weird! You should probably talk to a mod about this. You shouldn't be able to access your account if you were banned.

Mod Edit: Please do not double post.

Naw I'm on my PC.

btw I DID PM Luna. So she might have fixed it and it was an error but i still want a confirmation in case I DID do something and I won't do it again.

Also I'm constantly being logged out so maybe tat has a connection to it? I have no idea.

Mod Edit: Merged double posts.

If you're being logged out frequently, then your IP address as seen by MAL's servers is changing (cookies are tied to IPs). It could be that you cycled to an IP that was banned and then off it again, which is why it only appeared for a second.

I think I found the problem.

ZenMate Security & Privacy VPN

Its a chrome extention. I use it to access certain sites not accessible here in the UK.

I think that was messin with things. I got it yesterday night. I turned it off so lets see if that fixes anything.

Ill update ya'll here if its successful.

Proxies and VPNs can definitely cause this. I've experienced a similar scare in the past.

Just stop using whatever caused it on MAL and you're good to go.
