Good morning.
I am trying to register for a pro account. When I made my first attempt to set up an account, I was given no feedback, and taken to a new post page. I clicked in the top right corner and found the anonymous sample post I had written a few hours previously. There was no further feedback and no verification email, so I tried to register again, and that’s when I started to be caught by the “abuse filter”. I don’t really understand what went wrong there, but am sure I made it worse by trying again! I would very much appreciate some help registering from an account, preferably from somebody who can unban my IP address for the crime of I-have-no-idea-what.
In this post and this post, other users have the same issue as I have been having. I tried to comment on one of these posts rather than start a new thread, but I then got shunted into “your posts need to be approved”. Since then, the bots have been sending me notifications about how I need to make new posts. I think you may have an unintentional catch-22 there. Frustrating experience so far, the usual “prove that you deserve to exist on the internet”, not a good look, and most people who want to give you a monthly subscription fee would have given up by now, it’s only because the fediverse has limited options that I’m still trying.
Thank you.
