Banned for some reason...

[Michael L.]

I went to make an account here this morning and for some reason it kept telling me that my regular email- xxxxxxx@hotmail.com - was banned. Strange, because I have never been to this forum before. I assume that it was because I may have had a virus a while ago and it was spamming this site perhaps... I have no clue about it.

I am currently signed in using someone else's email address, so it is sort of inconvenient for me. Could an administrator possibly "un-ban" my email address so that I could create an account here more conveniently?

Thanks a bunch!

All free email accounts are banned on this forum due to spam bots and trouble makers.

That is not saying you are one of these and your account will be changed to reflect the email address you listed in the previous post.

Ahh,

I was wondering the same thing, at least I'm not the only one. May be a note on the registration page would be a good idea?

Cheers,

I also had this happen.

My email services are free though mail.com, does this mean I may be banned?

[Ghoti]

ditto through gmail.com.

And just when I was getting comfortable

It means you cant join up, if you are on here everything is fine.

Not all free email types are banned, only the ones we have had issues with in the past
