This is probably not the reason. You'd still have to accidentally enter a ban reason, accidentally hit 'ban', then accidentally go to the ban list and accidentally remove my ban to cause what I've been experiencing.

My only guess is the site's setup results in invalid IP addresses being sent to the ban check function, and for some reason it gives a false positive. I can't replicate this locally, though, would have to look more into what Heroku(?) does.

This depends entirely on the definition of 'you'. If your head was severed from your body, which of these counts as 'you'? What if both were 'alive' after the severing? Who is arbitrarily deciding which cells of the body count as one's soul? Why are some cells of your body assigned personality, while others aren't?

In the alternate universe where I'm not horribly insecure about my voice, I probably would.

But honestly this is fine. IntelliJ is not light on resources, and I'm only a student for another year, so I had planned on learning a free alternative anyway.

A lot of recruiters will take a shotgun approach to finding employees so they might not have actually read your profile that closely.

This. I had a recruiter from Google pester me before I was even out of high school. They'd found me through my GitHub profile which had a bunch of terrible projects that just screamed 'novice programmer'--no way I'd actually belong there.
