    I suddenly can't log in from work PC.

    When I try to log in, I get a message saying "Error 1015 (then a Ray ID) and beneath this, the line" You are being rate limited", then beneath that:
    What happened?
    The owner of this website (www.boards.ie) has banned you temporarily from accessing this website.

    Guys I'm in work. Now I have nothing to do except, what, work ? This isn't a desirable situation.

    This what i got from boards team:

    Thanks for your email. Unfortunately, there were some troublesome users/bots over the weekend, which resulted in Cloudflare security being stepped up. While we are adjusting settings, some innocent users (including yourself) may get caught up in these measures. The messaging about a ban is incorrect, but we can't change that on our end. It is best to try again intermittently.

    Sorry about the disruption,

    Do you have confirmed/official info?


    Scammed message from boards does not prove that, in fact it was not scam from them, it was notification about private message you received, that contained scam.

    That's to do with the additional measures put in place to try and fend off further concerted attacks. They have basically turned up Cloudfare temporarily (hopefully!) to ward off further attempts

    i could acept that there was breach, say if "Sara" [user : Sareo3](this was who wrote me) was legit user, but her account was accessed and all scam send on he behalf.
    But this would be on "Sara's" soul, not boards. Same can happen again if your account password is "Pa$$w0rd"

    Would help explain my Netflix account being accessed in Galway when I know nobody in Galway, I used the same passwords (all changed now)

    I'm in the west, whenever I use Apple TV or similar on a different phone or log into another email (associated with another phone /i.d etc) I or the other persons phone (the missus in my case) get a text saying a device is trying to access my account from Dublin, I know its me & I know I'm not in Dublin, so I can only assume the Dublin part is where my internet is actually coming from? even though I use a local provider (wireless / line of sight) if that makes sense.

    Cloudflare thinks you're dodgy, come back when you're dressed appropriately
