Your name is a subset of somebody who lights up SFS like a Christmas Tree (is one possible reason) http://www.stopforumspam.com/search?q=ngoj

Another is possibly that the banned email also looks somewhat like the format of a known spammer...

http://www.stopforumspam.com/search.php?q=mhmd

I'm sure the admins will sort it out.

Welcome to the friendliest board this side of Riedquat (tm) [unless you're spam of course, where you're tagged and obliterated in fairly short order...]

EDIT - that's spam in general - not implying you're spam... :roll: :oops:

No, I reckon you were really implying he is a "Shoulder of Pork And haM" (the original acronym)! :twisted: :lol:

All x<number>@yahoo.com addresses are banned. This is a legacy from a time when we had far more spambots than now; I’ll remove it.

Greetings neighbor. Our spam assassins are little edgy lately. Maybe they should switch to decaf. ;)

They already did.. you should'a seen them before... :lol: :mrgreen:
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

Never been a problem - my blog is run by my local paper and they didn't report an increase in spamming after I linked to my blog - you'd have to ask Ahruman if he gets much spam on his oolite email in his sig...
