Hi, just had this message from someone trying to register ...
Does anyone know how I can register for the World of Dragon forum? I tried with my gmail, hotmail, and protonmail but they all give a "The email address you entered is not allowed to be used" error
Any ideas what's up?

Re: Problems registering
Hi
I see that gmail and the other email providers listed are currently blocked for registration. This is sometimes done because of the sheer number of spam registrations. If you let me know which provider he wants to use, I can temporarily lift the ban for a day or two (and then deal with the fallout...) Note that new registrations must also be manually activated by an admin. This usually happens within 24 hrs, but I can try to check more often after lifting the ban.
Hope this helps.
