Why Has My Home Ip Address Been Blocked But Office Is Not?

The last time I posted on CL was 4 months ago which was an ad for a dog kennell I deleted the ad a week later as I got no calls and donated the item to charity. Since then I have only used it to search listings. For the last couple of weeks my home isp has been blocked but not every day. I have a different isp fopr my office and also smartphone but they have so far not been affected. Cannot get answers to CL email. Why could that ip have been blocked when there has never been any violation of TOS? This just does not make sense.

Unfortunately, a violation of Craigslist's TOS is not necessary for the action about which you're complaining—even if you're fully knowledgable about the TOS.

Craigslist says, "Posts may be removed or omitted from index pages and search results by automated systems, CL staff, or community moderation—for non-compliance with terms of use, site guidelines, and/or community norms."

It's not possible from the information you've provided to discern the source of the problem. And it might not be possible under any circumstances.

You may be able to solve the issue with the use of a Web proxy, as offered free at http://www.zend2.com/. Fellow Help Owl volunteer smcclurken has additional suggestions here.
