Hello everyone!
I was searching for an open source alternative to minecraft and found this great project. I've played with it for couple days and decided to participate.
So the first step was to register on the forum. I've filled the form and clicked "Send'. And got the error message: "You IP is banned", although I wasn't behind a proxy or something. A regular connection from my ISP (Rostelekom, Russia). I don't send spam or something and never got such message before on any other site.
OK, can happen with a dynamic IP. So I connected from my german VPS. Clicked "Send" again and got one more error message: "Bad E-Mail".
Thats odd. I've a normal E-Mail from the biggest russian provider Yandex: alan.*****@yandex.ru. I have changed yandex.ru to yandex.com and was able to finish the registration.
Are russians not welcome here or how should I understand it? I mean why are *.ru emails are banned? Seems a bit insulting to me.
Yes, there are many russian "cyka blyat" players on the net. But to ban russian IP addresses and E-Mails... That's a bit to much.
