Anyone else getting a notice that their Imgur account is banned?

So, it's been a quite while since I've used Imgur to upload images here and elsewhere. But, since yesterday, whenever I attempt to upload any image there, it starts to upload and then a message stating Upload failed, your account is banned appears. Funny thing is, all the images I previously uploaded to Imgur are still stored in my account. Perhaps the account was hacked or something. I don't know. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? :?:

Not me, maybe try logging out and back in?

Thanks for the suggestion but I tried it and it didn't work. Here's what I did:
  1. Logged out of Imgur
  2. Closed the browser (Chrome)
  3. Reopened the browser
  4. Cleared the cache for Imgur
  5. Logged in to Imgur
  6. Tried to upload an image
Interestingly enough, despite my account being "banned," I can still share the old images stored there. Below is one of those images:
