Forum sign up process question - my e-mail account banned?

[InfoSeeker007]

Hi,

I have just signed up with the bbs.spamgourmet.com. In the sign up process, I tried to use my gmail account and the sign up process informed me that that e-mail address was banned.

It then suggested me to use sg account.

Why is that? I have never received any notification from sg that my e-mail address, my forwarding address, has been banned.

Thanks.

Thanks. I thought for a moment my real e-mail address has been banned by sg for some other reason.

I also had problems being rejected for banned email address when signing up. Trouble is... I was using spamgourmet addresses.

It turns out xoxy.net, antichef.com etc that I normally use don't work trying to sign up to this forum. Only spamgourmet.com domain itself.

...took about an hour for confirmation email to arrive.
