Why is my e-mail banned?

[StilgarAyat]

😕

I have tried to sign up with one of my e-mails. However, after I input in the registration form my usual net handle: "Stilgar" with my usual e-mail: "sietch_tabr@bigfoot.com" I get a message that this e-mail address is banned from the forum. WHAT'S GOING ON? I never remember participating in any controversy over here, much less being banned. Can someone explain this to me and unlock my usual e-mail? :frown:

On a further note. What is this with the handle "Stilgar" being used by someone else here? I have not managed to find any user that is "Stilgar". :disgust:

Can someone fix both these things for me? I want to sign up with my usual idnetity: Stilgar from sietch_tabr@bigfoot.com

Find an email adress that is unrelated to yahoo, hotmail, AOL, and bigfoot (possibly others as well). The problem is those are some of the easiest places to get new email addresses, and trolls have made it impossible to allow them, because they keep on registering again and again, even if they've been banned.

If you want people to email you at a specific address, don't allow people to contact you through regular email in your profile, and instead leave your email address where you can be reached in your signature (again, in your profile).

There is a "Stilgar" already registered (email = stilgar@marz.org), though it appears they are not active (no posts).
