Oh that was about the baby accidentally going out with the bathwater, because the disposable IP source was the platform for socking. It turned out that is was also the platform for a legitimate poster. It has been corrected. It had nothing to do with the poster's name. Thanks.
I don't use a "disposable IP platform"
Was I sharing IP with the socks or something?
No, you weren't. Torie is somewhat confused about the proper terminology here.
I get how you accidentally got swept up in the massive sock ban, but I don't want to elaborate, so as not to give Atheist any new ideas. But you don't need to worry about changing your IP or anything like that. Your account should be fine now.
