I just Googled Spamhause.org, looks like they have a link you can go through to get removed from the block.

These false positives pop up from time to time, unfortunately, but usually get sorted out in a day or two.

It's a third party thing that monitors spam and spamny IP addresses -- looks like your ISP might have been flagged by someone. It should resolve itself in a bit, so you don't need to do anything, I don't think.

That's what the doctor told me when I was peeing fire. I can post with my phone with no issues.

I felt the same way when I Googled it. I like Inders' suggestion to wait a day or so and see if it goes away.

Can I make a stink about it and be a general nuisance?

Not that it's the gospel, but Wiki and Google searches seem to think they're legit.

I had to deal with that shit at an old job its a hassle and it is legit basically what Inder said.

Although Im curious BBE. You got flagged with your PC but not with your phone. Was your phone not using the same wifi as the computer?

Some ISP took a gander at Beanie's posts and realize the legal liability they were in continuing to provide him access to this site.

But have they considered that I live a grudge driven life and will find them.

Have had this happen a couple of times. Lasts up to two days and then magically resolves itself for some reason.

I had it earlier in the year. Everytime I made a post here I got their crap message.

I changed the vpn as I only use my phone for internet access. All good now.
