The first site to ban me at least had the balls to just ban me without making excuses. This time, I was there for months without a single warning, then tangled with admin (the mightiest of the flame warriors, and strangely enough, a Christian on an atheist site). A couple days later admin claims I'm a sock puppet and bans me.
You're actually not banned. The forum has been suffering DDoS attacks and Cloudflare has been giving them issues as they try to rectify the situation. During this Cloudflare gave a bunch of false positives for duplicate IP addresses, so the massive sock-puppet wipe of a dozen people (including alpha male and Heywood) was rescinded and everyone has since been reinstated. This was all made perfectly clear in the Ban Log thread by none other than Kingschosen, one of the forum Admins, where he apologized for the mistake and the inconvenience.

Our new security software is making it difficult to discern IPs and whether or not they are shared. This is causing many users to show the same IPs as others.
To members that were affected, we are sorry. To my knowledge, all bans have been lifted that were due to this error.

Heywood came back and has already been whining incessantly about it. So you haven't been banned and your forum access has been reinstated, it'll be up to you however to fix your abysmal -28 Reputation; that's all on you. I wouldn't loose any sleep if you decided to never return, you are not missed. I just felt like the AF forum deserved a better explanation of what really happened.
