    This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
    Hello,

    This is my IP address (I trust you so do not play with :P ) :

    82.252.131.7

    After that, I would like to know why I cannot create an account and I
    was blocked directly after account creation trying.

    Many thanks to the whole team.

    See you.

    JC

    I am not a spammer, I do not understand... It is the first time I use this service, and it happens just after I tried to create an account.

    I will wait a reply from www team.

    FWIW, we might want to figure out a better solution here, maybe? :)

    There are a lot of people who face this problem. Some (thankfully!)
    care enough to drop in a mail or raise an issue (for example,
    here[1]).
    Others might just drop the idea of dropping mails, chasing people for
    getting access to the wiki.
    (which in the first place should have been accessible!)

    Maybe we want to figure out some better alternative/approach to this problem? (Of course, I am not saying the wiki admins aren't doing a good job,
    they are! Thank you, wiki team, for all your work that you do! \o/)
    But what I want to convey is that there are lots of people who face
    this problem and just turn away from accessing or using the wiki and
    never look back. And it's a bit...upsetting :(


    Best,
    Utkarsh
