Anti-Spam by CleanTalk blocking my updates

Post by catmando »

Getting this message when trying to update a page on the wiki. I'm not entering anything offensive, just trying to add a gallery to a piece on the hardware section.

Forbidden. Message seems to be spam. Anti-Spam by CleanTalk.

Is this your first time updating a page or have other edits been successful?

The best place is Exxos' forum as he's the host for the Wiki.
Main site: www.mug-uk.co.uk - digging up bits from my past: Atari ST, ZX Spectrum, Sega 8-bit (game hacks) and NDS (ripping guides). I host a C64 Radio Show for a mate, Max Hall via www.chipsidshow.co.uk

I develop a free Word (for Windows) add-in for Word 2007 upwards. A toolbox that will allow power Word users to fix document errors. You can find it at: mikestoolbox.co.uk

I just tried to register on Exxos forum, but I get a similar spam message during the account creation process. Are you able to reach him directly somehow as I appear to be stuck

I've had a reply from Exxos and the upshot is that you can't use Hotmail addresses to register on his forum or on the Wiki. I'll send you his full reply via a PM Catmando.

As per this post on his forum:

https://exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewtopi ... 68#p120468

"I have said this a million times for literally years now! People need to stop using hotmail and microsoft related email accounts!!

Registrations have been blocked for common email domains where for example, Microsoft continued to block them. So there is no use in users trying to register with such email accounts anymore. I'm sure a lot of people are aware of my epic long battle with Microsoft and I have given up trying to get off their blacklist. So I no longer allow registrations using Microsoft related accounts.

However, it is just come to my attention that some people still have not switched away from such problem accounts on the forum. Unfortunately you are going to get continually blocked by CleanTalk and a lot of people are already not getting email notifications because Microsoft have been blocking them for years now. The amount of bounced emails I get because of these email accounts..!!"
