I just received this notice saying I am banned -- any reason why this would happen? I have been a member since day one (when it was easytree) with a good ratio. I have been polite and thankful in my posts. Does anyone here have ideas?

You likely got caught in a subnet ban. But we can't tell nor can we help. :)

Email the DIME mods, using the email registered to your DIME account.

I emailed them using the link above and they promptly responded. The next morning I was able to sign in to Dime again.
