I guess I've got a wee bit of addiction to checking this site but I managed to hold of on using a proxy to get around the ban to be able to figure out what the hell was going on :)
With that in mind though, how can I actually tell if I ever get banned?

Thanks for the update, cg! My paranoia got the best of me just now... Good thing things have been sorted out now. Cheers :)

And I thought I was banned because I've entered too many giveaways from LostSoulVL in a short period :)

Nevermind some downtimes - as long as SG comes back stronger, better and more awesome than before :)
Thank you for all your work cg and have a nice day!

Thanks for the explanation and the upgrade, I was pretty worried for a while, lol.
EDIT: I decided not to blacklist you for this, at least for now... ;P

If you were visiting the site in the past few hours, you likely noticed a temporary IP block and were unable to access the site. This was a bug related to the recent upgrades to our servers. If you were blocked, it was simply in error, and not your fault.
Our site temporarily blocks IP addresses if they're making too many invalid requests. If you view the attached image, you can see we introduced a load balancer today between the user and our web servers. This caused our database to start incorrectly logging the local IP address of our load balancer as the source of invalid requests, instead of the IP address of the user. When the invalid request limit was reached, the IP address of our load balancer, and all incoming traffic was blocked. The site has been updated in the past hour to fix the bug and to accurately resolve user IP addresses with our new load balancer in place, so everything should be working as expected once again. Sorry about the brief downtime.
