    Here’s the email I sent them:

    Greetings,

    I have been informed by your charming and informative page that my IP address, 208.67.[redacted] has been banned. I live in an apartment complex with a complex provided network for internet. It is due to these unfortunate circumstances that I share an IP address with an individual which has behaved in a way deemed worthy of IP ban.

    Please consider unbanning this IP address as it is shared by a minimum of 192 tenants.

    Thanks for your time,

      Yeah, banning by IP from such a big website is pretty silly on the site admin’s part. Tons and tons of places share 1 to a small handful of IPs (e.g. apartment complexes, school dorms, etc).

        Reddit still uses IP bans. It’s crazy how far behind the times some tech companies are

        Also, most people don’t even have a static ip address so they might have banned a different location altogether and the banned ip address moved.
