Weight Weenies Ban?

Has anyone else had this?
I have just tried to read reviews of the specialized allez comp race on their website. this is the first time I have used their website. a warning notice popped up telling me I had been permanently banned from the website for spam reasons. how can I spam a website I have never visited? what exactly do they do anyway?

Please contact the Board Administrator for more information.
Reason given for ban: spam
A ban has been issued on your IP address.
It's probably either that you're abroad or using a proxy or something else to do with your IP address. If I try to log onto BR when I'm in China, I get the same thing - as I did when using my proxy (possibly fixed now). The system just sees your IP and relates it to a banned IP.
I just got the same message.
I just had a look on their forum and the same message came up. I've never even visited that forum before (never joined, not a member), so there must be something up...

Just hope I haven't sent a message to a bunch of hackers. Not sure what good it would do them, but you never know.

The all Starbike business seems a bit bonkers for the way we perceive German efficiency.
Same, I tried to register just to ask a simple question but I never did get in so I gave up.
It's also a lot better than it was: it went through a very fascist phase of deleting any thread that wasn't directly and identifiably related to saving weight on a bike. It's all a bit more relaxed now, and better for it.

Being on the giving rather than receiving end of advice most of the time, I find it's hard enough to maintain one profile... presence on more than one forum is just too demanding. I occasionally post on LFGSS, but not being a regular my advice is often ignored or disregarded....
You on WW forum ha! Now that's funny captain fondue
Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.
Anyway - the spam ban at WW seems to be back on force again. Unless it's jut me this time :-(

If they haven't and they're not replying to those of use who've mailed their admin team I can only assume they really don't give a censored .
Do you honestly think they don't care, I'm sure they're doing everything they can behind the scene to get it back online.
