Okay first of all, I am sorry if this comes off as stupid, but I have been getting blocked here on Wrong Planet without reason. Sometimes whenever I log on, I see a message that says "Access Denied: Send A Message To Restore Full Access."

Has anyone been experiencing this problem? It has gotten very annoying and I want to know what are some causes.

Yep just happened to me. The system logged me out and blocked me logging back in. I cleared my history and cookies etc after which I was able to log on.

My guess is that it is a glitch most likely caused by Cloudflare.

It happens in waves for me. I'll get it daily for a few weeks and then not at all for a month or more. Usually I can bypass by clearing history / cookies and doing a restart. Sometimes that doesn't work. Plan B is to go into any random forum without being logged in, and attempt to respond to someone's post. It will give you a different login screen than the normal one. This method has been foolproof for me so far.

Yes, and being on two warnings now, a paranoid voice tells me, "They finally got you".

Is it against the rules to mention you have warnings or was that a joke? I am not sure after looking at the emoji.

The other day I was not able to post a response in a thread because I kept getting "I am not a robot" and it kept taking me to the post reply page and I had to repaste my response each time. So I finally sent that member a PM.

It was a joke but you shouldn't mention why you have warnings as it could cause additional conflict.

I was being constantly logged out and couldn't post, so whenever I use the forum I go straight to "View your posts" and if I'm logged in its fine, but if I'm not it goes straight to the login page.

Ever since starting that process each time I haven't had any issues.

Just happened to me. I just cleared my history and suddenly I was able to log in. Such a weird site.

Yeah, I just ran into that. Clearing my history actually didn't work for me, but the going to a different login did

When I went to the site a few minutes ago, it gave me a message saying that I was blocked. My assumption is that it was an attempt to steal my username and password -- many people use the same username and password for a number of different accounts and so having a username and password here might be greatly useful elsewhere. So I exited and came back and this time it let me in.

It's possible Cloudflare was complaining about me using a VPN. With everything going on today, VPN's are only going to get more common -- blocking someone because they are using a VPN is not a winning strategy.

I'm not able to reply to PM's.

I received a kind PM, and I'd like to reply to it.
I've tried to reply a number a times, and I keep getting a SQL error?
Is that because I don't have a high enough post count to reply, or is it another 'bug?'

I thought maybe I was blocked from replying to the PM?

*To the Member who PM'd me, thank you! (If you happen to read this) I did try to reply, sorry.
