While trying to set up a write.as account I first received an error that I had been “detected as a bot”. I’d just installed a browser script for another platform so I suspected that it was an issue (poorly written script) and disabled it. But when I reloaded the page I was informed that my IP was blocked for abusive activity.

I’m not using a VPN, Tor, or anything (though maybe I will now if you guys have an onion address).

Please let me know what to do to solve this issue! Thanks

Sorry for the issue! I just sent you a private message that should help. Not sure what might’ve caused this, besides maybe submitting the form too quickly. But please let me know if you still run into any problems!

I’m experiencing the same issue. Some persons told me they got a message telling them a suspicious activity as been detected with their IP adress and they can’t subscribe.  
How can I solve this ?
