Hi. For some strange reason I have to register again every day, my account keeps disapearing. Is this normal? Or is mi acount getting deleted?
Thanks.

Hi,
Apologies, we've been hit with a deluge of spam registrations this past few weeks, and it seems your account looks similar to a lot of those (due to the makeup of your email address, and the fact you had no posts), made it look like you were a spammer, so we've been mistakenly deleting / banning you.... Sorry!

Unfortunately email verification doesn't make much difference, the spambots go and signup Gmail / Hotmail accounts, and actually activate the accounts like a legitimate user!
