I have this little problem that happens to me. Sometimes right when I post, it says my IP is blocked for spam reasons, but when I post again it lets me.

This usually happens on forum games, I think it could happen because the responses are shot...? Here's a screenshot from a day ago (Ignore the little message bubble that says I can record myself, it popped up when I was taking a screenshot):

I've actually gotten this too, and I'm not sure why. I think there is a forum update I can do, maybe that'll help fix it, but I'll try to post here if I figure it out.

It happened posting this post too. :facepalm:

Edit: I found a setting that turns off that check. It says to disable it if too many false positives are enabled... which happened, so I have disabled it. Let me know if you have more issues!
