Something terrible happened to me (my network). I have just tried to read an article fetched by  in original view at Slashdot. Unfortunately, I got banned.

Either your network or ip address has been banned from Slashdot
...due to script flooding that originated from your network or ipaddress -- or this IP might have been used to post comments designedto break web browser rendering. Or you crawled us with a rude robot,especially one that doesn’t understand RFCs very well.
If you feel that this is unwarranted,feel free to include your IP address(203.144.143.3) in the subject of an email, and we will examine whythere is a ban. If you fail to include the IP address (again, inthe subject!), then your message will be deleted and ignored. Imean come on, we’re good, we’re not psychic.

First of all, my IP was not 203.144.143.3. This IP address is just a transparent proxy of True Internet. I wonder how Slashdot determined my IP address. http://checkip.dyndns.org/ can detect my IP address correctly. Anyway, it seems there are too many readers from True or someone is flooding. It’s time for VPN or proxy.
