Lately I've been getting IP bans saying that it was used to break community guidelines. But after a couple of minutes, it would go away. Next time I get one I'll post the case.

bump

Were you in incognito or using a hotspot?

There's a couple of scenarios where that can happen (like if you were using a school network, cellphone hotspot, or proxy/VPN that has been previously misused by someone else). Do you have an example case number?

I got a case number

This was at school wifi, but i'd get ip bans at my house too. I'm pretty sure the cases are the same

Case number refers to a blocked VPN when I look up the case report. By any chance, are you using a school-issued laptop/tablet?

School-issued devices are usually installed with a VPN in them, and likely whatever VPN service your school uses has one of the IPs blocked, which is why the blocks are random. It's also really bad for the school because it suggests maybe more than one student is using school devices to do bad things. It would have to be something the school would have to contact the ST about in figuring out which of the IPs used by the VPN is flagged and appealing for it to get unblocked.

So, not a bug, just a bad network setup your school is using.
