Woah, I got a reply to my email! (I have never received a reply to an email sent to any SAAS/social platform's tech support ever.)

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out. Our network team is aware of legitimate users getting blocked from the site and are working both internally and with our external vendors to mitigate the issue. Thanks for your patience while the team works to get this resolved.

Thanks,

Stack Exchange Community Support Team
