Using TOR, and ip "masking" program, and got "ip address banned"

So, I use TOR to browse sites, as I am a paranoid little monkey, and while at DB, just looking around, I suddenly get a message on the screen "ip address banned", and nothing... UH-OH! So I back out of TOR, and get on with my real ip, and go to DB, and can log in, so my account isn't dead (good...) but I see a statement in the Rules that sayeth "whosoever cometh forth from the Internet, bearing a banned ip address, shall be smote down forevermore, henceforth!" (bad...) Anyways, how does this get dealt with? I learned of TOR on DB (from some Great PooBah or something) and I KNOW a bunch of folks here must use it. Google TOR for more info. It is great, and in conjunction with Hushmail, you can come as close to disappearing as is currently possible in this day and age. Which is why I do it. I do this for a living, and folks just DO NOT understand that everything leaves tracks. Browsing, PM's, IM's, EVERYTHING!

Well, I am tech challenged (as well as many other areas, lol).
I just got an I Phone and lordy, please help me. I got my husband one too (he is a "true" IT manager) and he knows how to use each and every feature.
I don't have a clue about this TOR stuff (and maybe I should refrain from posting, lol), but y'all seem to know your stuff.
It is pretty basic for me. Click on the site you want to use or Google it, go to the site, read. My phone - can I make calls and receive them? It is a "pretty" phone, all kinds of features. I just don't use them. Jakey (my son) are going to trade phones. Most folks I talk to say "I'd kill for an IPhone". I guess I just need to spend some time so we can get to know one another.
Funny thing is - I used to do all the IT stuff before I went on disability (about 5 years ago).
But, give Groucho a break. 'K?

I do this for a living, and folks just DO NOT understand that everything leaves tracks. Browsing, PM's, IM's, EVERYTHING! As others said, it is likely that the exit node was/is banned due to some douche screwing around. If you are using Vidalia it gives you the option to reload / change identity anyway, I dunno whether CLI Tor does. If you do it for a living you should know that tor isn't really all that secure, and can be particularly worse than using your own connection. Partially because a lot of websites still don't use SSL for login forms etc.. Which is pretty fail, and opens you up to man-in-the-middle. tl;dr - Tor isn't really all that safe, and I'd much rather use SSH tunnelling - either buy a VPS from a good provider (possibly fake credentials?) or accquire a shell in some other manner  I suppose Tor and SSH Tunnelling could potentially solve both problems.
