Official "I got flagged as a spambot" thread

[Guest]

I'd advise you to try again, as the IP ban range is quite random for now.

Otherwise, you should use a VPN.

This is the problem that I'm facing. ._.""

Ah, it seems that Hotmail or Live addresses are automatically refused. It's true for Live, I haven't tested Hotmail yet.

It is saying that the email has already been in use.

Could you try the recovery instead?

Merging the old one (merge from) to the new account (merge to). There is also the option for deleting the old user. So no password issue I suppose.

Chancs, what do you mean? zzhk has a point. He wants his old account name.

- Where you are banned (wiki or forum).
- What message is shown when trying to log on, either by copy-pasting it or giving a screenshot.

When i try to edit the wiki, sometimes either with my user tame in the Wiki, Trejon, or without using my account, i get blocked for some reason, it says that my IP was blocked by DNSBL. it was a few days ago and it now lets me do it, so i cant give an screenshot of it now until it block me again...

NOTE: i did read all the rules of the wiki so i am not breaking them (i think), if i get blocked again i will post the screenshot.

Hi could i get some help?
I've been trying to register for a forum and wiki account to contribute, but got flagged as a spambot for both accounts.
Any suggestions what I can do?

It's slightly different but I keep forgetting my pw and now I have to solve riddles like a poor silent hill game to log in, can someone help?

I think many people are having this problem (myself included), and I don't believe there's anything that can be done to help you personally. The one thing you could try is to check the "log me in automatically" box to see if that lets you bypass the login step. If not then just refresh the page until you get an easy question.

The forum admins are aware of the general issue, and will probably try to look into a more permanent solution for everyone if it persists.

Fun fact. I never got round to playing Silent Hill even though a friend gave me his copy. i found it too scary.

Also my riddles are fun. Ask anyone. They love it so much they keep asking me about answering them.

Hello! This is BionicMeerkat. I'm not sure if this is being flagged as a spambot, but I know encounter this whenever I try to log in.

Similar to what Mumiah01 from the previous page had posted, I would have the answer for the Captcha but for some reason it does not seem to accept my answers. Doesn't matter if I hit enter or if I hit Login, it just seems to refresh the page.

I tried changing passwords but the same error message keeps on coming up. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Thank you Misogi! Worked like a charm. I appreciate the help!

Errr I have no clue how I managed to post the same message twice. Sorry about that!

[Misogi]

I've deleted the second one. All we need now is TLG's reaction...

Should be solved now.

I was asked to change my password again. This time I am logged in from an internet cafe.
