Sorry, you have triggered our rate limiting system. Specifically, you are using NTL, a very poor Internet provider that forces all their customers to share the same IP address (using a 'web proxy'). We are not aware of any other major ISP that does this. It means that when one of their customers does something bad (which happens often), it looks like you did it.

Please contact NTL and ask to be removed from their 'web proxy', or find another Internet provider, or you can try waiting until the ban is removed.

Well, they do actually determine your true IP and not just the IP of the proxy - see below...

Maybe they just realise how crap forcing users to go through transparent proxies is ;)

I'm guessing they just banned the proxy that Willie is using, and as he's in Scotland, he'll most likely be using a different proxy to you by default.

Re: dnsstuff message

Perhaps the problem is not DNSstuff failing to read the true IP of each user, but the NTL proxy in question not being properly configured to pass on user IPs?

I know which I'd assume to be the case.

It may just be the initial check that is coded badly.
