[meta] Why was I locked out of the forum all day?

As the subject says: Why was I locked out of the forum all day?

You blocked my ISP at your firewall. Every connect to shareaza.sourceforge.net was immediately rejected with a RST packet, all morning and afternoon and most of the evening.

If you thought I had violated the forum's terms of service I assume my account would not be working now, so it seems likely that this was not intentionally directed at me, or else that this was not done "officially". In neither case should it have been done to me at all.

I want this incident investigated fully. If someone else than the moderation team is able to tamper with your firewall settings to attack other users of the forum, and has been using these powers for evil, then the miscreant responsible needs to be dealt with swiftly and severely. On the other hand, if someone else at my ISP was doing something naughty (DoS attack?), and your response to that was overbroad and included me as collateral damage, then I believe I am owed an apology. In either case, action must be taken, and in the former case, urgently, before the perpetrator strikes again, perhaps this time at one of you.
