I just checked in the admin panel and your user isn't banned. It's possible that you might be quite unlucky with a VPN exit node or something and are now on an IP that was previously subject to a ban. We tend to not use IP bans except in egregious cases, but those users also tend not to connect via their home connection.

Things you can try:

• Try clearing your browser cache for piefed.social. You want to remove any cookies that might be left in your browser from the site.
• If you are using a VPN try turning it off and clearing your browser cache. Basically trying to start fresh with a new IP address.
• If you aren't using a VPN, try from a mobile device, third-party app, or one of our alternative frontends (photon, blorp)

I've just done something very basic, but I just banned and unbanned your account - just a small attempt to kick the system.

I get 403 Forbidden messages seemingly randomly when I use the web interface. Sometimes it works great. No problems. Most times, not. No issues using summit.

You're not officially banned. Yet. ;p
