ryanjury Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Must be a bug I am sure that someone can fix it.. Probably not David or Reece though as neither of them are Admin.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcrudd Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 It could be the 666 at the end of your name. Some people get offended by it for some reason, I am not bothered about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Either HaNs or Supersi would be the ones to talk to, they're the two site admins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Is there an option on the page that you got displayed to contact an admin? There might be something in what you did - join and not post and then request a password change that is flagged to auto ban as it could be a spammer.. I am sure it can be fixed.

supasi Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 I looked into it and it looks like your username was in similar format (ie, name followed by a few numbers) to a large amount of spammers that recently attempted to join. Thus it being added to the list of unwanted registrations. It unfortunately means that username is no longer available. Try join again and you will be right. Just need to alter username for it to accept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
