Ha Ha; you're right, I can not PM anyone because I am locked out.

You have been banned for the following reason:

No not at all, they do not mention IP or IP range.

If it is turning your VPN off will fix the problem.

I wish.

When I try an log on it most certainly does say I have been banned.

Try logging in from a different device / IP address

I tried logging on at work today (as opposed to home) and got same result. So I think it's me personally that's considered the bad guy

Thank you everyone for prompt replies and suggestions.
To any new readers not wanting to read all of the above: I have been banned from the VM official forum for allegedly spamming when I have only ever written one question and never replied to anything.
I guess I could rejoin that forum under a different username and email. However (silly me) all my emails accounts are with VM. So they could possibly twig that it is still me.
Unlikely but if anyone from VM should read this: this might be the final nail in the coffin for me; your products are good but the word "customer" seems to be non existent in the VM world.
Incidentally, if anyone has a 360, you may find my question in that dark place interesting.
And in fairness, the reply was informative. The thread is titled "How much power does my box use"
