I am not a spammer, I do not understand... It is the first time I use 
this service, and it happens just after I tried to create an account.

I will wait a reply from www team.

Please mail w...@debian.org with details of your IP address and we can
help.

FWIW, we might want to figure out a better solution here, maybe? :)

There are a lot of people who face this problem. Some (thankfully!)
care enough to drop in a mail or raise an issue (for example,
here[1]).
Others might just drop the idea of dropping mails, chasing people for
getting access to the wiki.
(which in the first place should have been accessible!)

Maybe we want to figure out some better alternative/approach to this problem?
(Of course, I am not saying the wiki admins aren't doing a good job,
they are! Thank you, wiki team, for all your work that you do! \o/)
But what I want to convey is that there are lots of people who face
this problem and just turn away from accessing or using the wiki and
never look back. And it's a bit...upsetting :(


Best,
Utkarsh

As far as I know certain IP addresses could be banned if they were used 
by spammers in the past.

Could someone help me to understand what happens?

Hello dear Debian team,


This morning, I tried to create an account there:

https://wiki.debian.org/DebianDesktop/Artwork/Bullseye?action=newaccount

Because I would like to participate to Debian artwork for Bullseye...

I encode my information, but after that, I get this message:

"Forbidden

You are not allowed to access this!"

After I get this error message, I tried a second time with a VPN to 
connect back to the website and it works fine... Maybe I am 
"blacklisted/banned" ? (I don't know why) Or maybe it is a bug?


Could someone help me to understand what happens?

Could we fix that and create an account to let me participate to Debian

Many thanks, have a nice day.
