This one is new for me:
Your IP address has been blocked for an hour. Sorry for the inconvenience.
What for is it blocked? I refreshed the page and this message showed up, my UID is: 1035511
The first time I've seen it. I'm not using vpn or anything and haven't been in chat since 8 hours or so.
IP addresses are only blocked if they are hitting the site much too often. It's a primitive DOS protection.
In your case it looks like user 91380 (Seuntjie) is logging in over and over from your IP address. Are you using his bot perhaps? If so I think it's the bot that is getting your IP address banned.
Edit: specifically, your IP address tried logging in 25 times in a single minute, at these timestamps (UTC):

Some seconds there you were doing 5 logins per second. That's what got your IP address banned...
Ah ok I think how that comes, I was on a different address and I use a separate laptop for dicebot, that one was on sleep mode while traveling home but I didn't log out from the bot. So when I got home and got my laptop from sleep mode the bot didn't do anything yet since I needed to re- login but I didn't hit the log out button yet.
So that must be why the bot tried to connect. Next time I won't forget to log out properly in such case.
I just needed to know because I thought maybe there was something malicious going on or something. Thanks for the answer.
It's possible he's using dicebot and the bot failed to connect for some reason and tried to unsuccessfully reconnect a few times,
That's exactly what must have happened.
