I have no clue what's going on but I can only access this site through a proxy, have I been banned for some reason?

If you can log in, and post, you probably haven't been banned specifically.

I'm guessing that automated anti-spam measures, have your IP address (or IP bloc) flagged as a being used by spambots.

Is there any way to find out what's being blocked specifically? My cousin has the same ISP and a similar IP address yet he doesn't have any problem accessing the site.

Someone with administrative access to the forum, could compare your IP, to the ban list.
It's more work, but I think a moderator, with a lot of time on his/her hands, could also do it.
Have you tried changing your IP address?

Are you experiencing this at only the forum level or site-wide?
