I'm curious what "type" of IP address were you using when you created the account? Residential, mobile, work/office, or data center?

  Own, I'm a RIPE member. Clean subnet, never been on any blacklist whatsoever.

    I wounder if it was tagged as "data center" by default without knowing who/what/how it's actually being used. It certainly wouldn't be considered the most privileged (residential) by default. It doesn't matter if it's "clean" and has never been in any spam/abuse blacklists. Apparently it is (wrongly) assumed that a data center IP is someone scripting/scraping, or worse. Ignoring the fact that actual humans do work and visit data centers and use their Wi-Fi.

      Also many corporate VPNs use data center IPs.

    That actually makes sense to me, then. Not a 'normal' residential IP = higher chance of fraud.

    But that means you've also got no rep as a neutral IP either.
