This morning i was waiting for the maintenance to end and watching for 49384º time the ACTA video, I pressed F5 and WOOLA, batoto was online, but then i tried to read a manga and it said "403 Forbidden", now i cant visit the web from my home, so i guess my IP has been banned, but i have no idea why, the last thing i did was comment on a manga, but since the comment its still there i guess that i did nothing wrong.
I'm sorry if this is not the right place, i've been trying to find a contact email or an IRC channel to contact an admin, but it seem there is none.
P.D My IP its been always the same, except right now of course.
"403 Forbidden"

Are you saying you cant visit the site at all or just the online reader is giving you troubles?
And seriously couldnt find admin to e-mail , that isnt much of an excuse , considering how easy you can do so.

I cant acces any part of the website, and please, if u know exactly where is the contact email, do tell, i readed the "Help section" and "ToS", and the only thing I found was to use the "Report" button, I even checked other websites like mangaupdates, and tried to contact via twitter (i only found @BatotoStatus).. it is quite more easy to use any other contact form than this forums since i cant get here from my IP.

The email posted on the protest/maintenance page is this: admin@batoto.com
And this is where I got the email from: http://www.batoto.net/50x.html
Grumpy also mentioned on this post that if you are banned, you'd be getting an email from him. Did you check your email? if you got one, maybe you can reply directly?
I also thought I was banned last night *_* I even tried to access using a proxy but then it didn't work either. So I waited and waited until I saw the maintenance page showed up.. lol... and finally I'm able to access batoto normally this morning (yeay, thank God I'm not banned)

That page is not linked anywhere in the mainpage, anyway... the problem is that the only thing banned is my IP, not my user, not me... after cheking the twitter it seems they were under a DDoS, so they started to ban active IPs, if that is the reason then probably I'm not the only user afected by this.
Right know my theory is that the chrome extension called AllMangasReader tried to check (like it does every 1 hour) if there were any new chapters, I've 167 mangas from Batoto in that list, 167 petitions to check new chapters while they're banning DDoS'ers can be read like something it isnt.
