Hey FFD - I had the same thing happen to me in 2023 (during SMFFFC season...)

My issue was what they outlined there: I used the Opera browser, and I used the Ghostery add-on. I know they mention the "additional traffic" but I also googled and came across something claiming Ghostery acts like a mini-DDOS at times.

They key thing was you should get that notice and your screenshot includes that there's a "promise not to do this" agree button but I made the mistake of agreeing, hitting back on my browser, and since I was still in Opera+Ghostery it did hit me with a straight ban. And it took at least a week before they gave me that "click this button to agree" option again, been using Waterfox exclusively for browsing Gamefaqs ever since without issues (knock on wood)

Also was using a VPN while I had that temp ban going on and never had any issues so I doubt it's that but who knows.

If you're not using Brave or Opera, maybe there's another extension out there that works like Ghostery that's causing this flagging issue. Or maybe it is a VPN thing where the VPN's been flagged due to a previous user creating issues...

I can also say that after it happened I submitted a feedback ticket which is supposed to be adjudicated within a business day or two, I believe they claimed, and never ever got anything about it.
