I moved and got this account December 8, 2005. I keep on getting banned

IP every couple days. They lie. I told them they lie. They say it is not
necessary to force me to a new IP (because this will be done
automatically).
I have tried releasing/renewing my IP on my machine, this does not force a
new IP. I am pretty sure every time I edit, I am logged in. account:
geekybroad, error: You were blocked by Hall Monitor Reason given:
returning
vandal, long term vandalism, warned repeatedly, *12th block*; have your
system administrator contact me (see our blocking policy), IP address
wikipedia says I have: 24.66.94.140, IP address
whatismpip.com says I
have:

Take
a look at my contributions, I am obviously not a vandal. --geekyßroad.

The last two times I have been banned, I saw nothing that could have
caused
this. I know the last time for sure, I had just made a simple typo edit
on
two different pages. WHAM! Banned.
I've emailed Hall Monitor about the last two incidents but have not
received
replies. I am still currently banned.
Please, please please tell me what to do to stop this from happening
again.
This has happened a few times, and I am getting really frustrated.

Geekybroad,
It's not you Hall Monitor banned, but someone using the same IP address as
you do and vandalising articles
(see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/24.66.94.140)
Unfortunately, you get blocked because your ISP issues you the same IP every
once in awhile. This IP has been blocked for the 12th time because it keeps
vandalising articles. The only way you can avoid being banned too is get
another IP address or contact your ISP abuse address internet.abuse(a)sjrb.ca (or
forward any conversation you had with them to Hall Monitor).
Sincerely,
Mgm
