At ⪅ 2026-02-22T20:22:40+00:00, I downloaded the OpenRA Dune 200 Flatpak, for the first time. As its interface advises, I attempted to register at forum.openra.net/ucp.php?mode=register, to acquire a username. I entered:

Field Value
username RokeJulianLockhart
password_confirm h6x5qday@rokejulianlockhart.addy.io
answer Conquer

The first time I attempted to submit that form, I observed:

No soup for you! It looks like you have been flagged as a spammer.

Thinking that this might be due to my e-mail address, I replaced it with RokeJulianLockhart+OpenRA@PM.me. However, upon submission of that, I observed:

You have been banned from this board until Mon Feb 23, 2026 8:21 pm.

Please contact the Board Administrator for more information.

Reason given for ban: Found in the Stop Forum Spam database 255 times

A ban has been issued on your IP address.

That seems absurd — I'm a very normal person, so I don't see how I could be there 255 times. Should I contact you about this (like I have), or go directly to them? The hyperlink applied to that “Board Administrator” is for a no-response address, hence my confusion.
