You posted a bug report, but it had no content other than "til". That's
what many abusers of the system have done, so you were blocked.
I have read the first line of your bug report, and it says " I'm not
sure if this is a bug with i3 or R ". If you're not sure if it's a bug
or not, then please post to R-devel. That's a moderated list so if this
is your first post, it may take a while to appear.
This probably seems unreasonable to you, but a lot of abuse is sent to
the bug list, so we block it quite early. I'll unblock you now, but
please don't post there again unless your discussion on R-devel
indicates this is a problem with R rather than i3.

Dear Dirk Eddelbuettel and Duncan Murdoch,
Thank you for your work on the wonderful R project!
I recently attempted to submit a bug with your Bugzilla interface:
https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi
I created an account, typed in all my information, first checking
details with another project. Then I clicked submit, and was taken to
a web page with a big red banner, it said
Spammer
If you believe your account should be restored, please send email to
explaining why.
What a hostile thing to say to your users! I tried resubmitting my
bug, but removing any links, and I still get the message - so it looks
like my account has really been blocked. Please do something to warn
your users about this so they can avoid the upset.
Well, I don't know what it means to "email to explaining why", so I
tried to subscribe to R-devel. However, it's been ten minutes and no
confirmation email. So I tracked down your email addresses from the R
website. I'm still cc'ing r-devel.
I hope it is OK to send the bug by email. I really want to get back to
what I was doing, but I don't want to lose the work I put into writing
this bug report, so I'm attaching it to this message.
Thank you,
Frederick Eaton
