If you can login on your phone you aren't banned.

PIA didn't cause this.  I've used it on this site plenty without problems.  Before someone asks, I use a VPN so if I'm on a large or public network, all my traffic doesn't get sniffed.  Safety first!  :thumb:

That's weird maybe if I delete browser cache the banned notification will go away

The majority of the time this happens you just need to clear you cache.


I can help you via irc if you'd like.

Are you connecting via a VPN by any chance?
