"Got the 'your ip has been temporarily blocked' message... what gives?"

Hey guys, so I was just browsing a site and suddenly got hit with the "your ip has been temporarily blocked" error. Super annoying, right?

Any idea why this happens? Too many login attempts? Or maybe the site thinks I’m a bot?

Also, how long does this usually last? An hour? A day?

And most importantly—how do I fix it? Do I just wait it out, or is there a way to get unblocked faster?

Thanks in advance for any help!
