it was just the purges and the emails being broken at the time. once we discovered the breakage we immediately started working on fixing it. the problem was that we initially missed that it broke.

Hello @Sergio@slrpnk.net,

our registration application system is completely automated and we’re making it very clear on our signup page what text you need to provide in order for your application to be approved.

Additionally, you should have received an email about your registration being rejected within a minute of verifying your email. Unfortunately your application fell within a window of these notifications being broken on our end, as we had to fix some stuff following our recent Lemmy update. Other users will generally receive this notification when their application is rejected.

As you explained why you’d want to sign up on lemmy.world rather than entering the required text your application had been denied. Our application processing system is also purging accounts from the database when the application gets rejected, so the username is available again and you’ll be able to sign up again with the same name.

the domain on the link you shared was previously used by spam bots

yes it is an instance ban: https://sh.itjust.works/u/remon@ani.socia https://sh.itjust.works/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=14537229

nobody from SJW will see this post, as you’re currently banned from their instance. mentions of their admins in this thread won’t work, nor will any of your pms make it over there.

you were also banned by our LW automod for a minute until i reversed it: https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&userId=10371316

I’ve shared this thread directly with SJW admins on other channels for a review.

the domain you posted a link to was in our automod blacklist due to previously being used by spam bots.

upon review it appears that this domain serves user generated content by different users that can be determined in the URL path. in those cases we typically only ban those users rather than the entire site if it’s not overly spammy.

we also usually review automod actions quickly, although in this specific case we must have missed this, as we had a lot of other true spam removals in the last days.

you have been unbanned from LW and your post has been restored.
