    Hello everyone!
    I don't know if some posted this enquire first, I apologize if that's so, I couldn't find one.

    The questions are the following:

    1) I've just tried to sign up into a forum an it didn't allow show me a message that won't allow spammers or sth like that. I don't spam on boards (only post in the signature if allowed). Could it be that I've been registering in many boards today and that's why vbulletin blocked me?

    2) Regarding blogs. I need to use a tracker on my website and sometimes when I try posting and the post simply doesn't show (not even the "awaiting moderation"). In wordpress sometimes it appears a blank page after posting and the post don't appear. Can someone tell me why and how to fix it?

    If you could teach me about this I'll be glad because I'm quite new at this.

    Thanks in advance.

    Lara

    As for forums - I don't think that if you are registered to a lot of boards - somebody is going to keep you out. Most forums - you need between 15 - 30 comments or posts before you can add you sig links. I really don't think your getting blocked.

    As far as blogs - I run into the same problem - no message of "awaiting moderation". It may just say nothing and is really waiting for your post to get approved.

    Couldn't really tell you for sure, but if it's anything like any of the forums I admin on if you are reported on any of the spam websites it would block you from being able to post or register.

    You were able to register, but not post? Maybe they just block certain aspects of posting to new members and once you are recognized as a normal member you can then use other features... like posting urls?

    No, I wasn't even able to register (when I sent the form instead of going to the "thanks for registering" it says that I cannot register because of spammin) I've never been in that forum before....that's what I find it so weird.
    I always read the posting rules first on every forum so I cannot figure out why this is happening to me.:(

    Maybe your email gave the information away?
