Hey, I initially wanted to name this account the same as my Whatpulse account, Robby250, but your forums wouldn't let me because I was detected as a spammer or something for some reason which I'm not aware of, but at the same time this account name worked. So I would like to know 2 things:
1. If you could check this out this anti-spam thing so that new users can actually make accounts 2. If this account could be renamed to Robby250. Thank you. |

As far as renaming goes, you will have to wait for Martijn, as I don't have access to do it. ~Century0 |

I'm pretty sure I got it right as I tried making the account around 7-10 times, every time I refreshed the captcha until I got a perfectly readable one. And as soon as I tried this name, it worked instantly. I forgot to mention that I tried this name using a different email from the one I used when trying the other username. Speaking of emails I've also tried changing my email on the actual Whatpulse website and after I click "Submit changes" it says that my profile has been updated, but as soon as I refresh the page it shows that it's using the old email again, and I don't receive any confirmation messages on either email accounts, yes I have checked the spam folders and everything. |

It simply looks for certain patterns. This was yours:
Block due to username ending with numbers and hotmail.com as email Username renamed. |

Thanks. That pattern filter is kind of dumb though IMO.

Not really, it blocks about 550 spambots in a day.

2 more things, I wanted to edit my previous post but I got 2 power failures in a row:
1. Still doesn't answer why I can't change my account's email on the actual Whatpulse website as described here: "Speaking of emails I've also tried changing my email on the actual Whatpulse website and after I click "Submit changes" it says that my profile has been updated, but as soon as I refresh the page it shows that it's using the old email again, and I don't receive any confirmation messages on either email accounts, yes I have checked the spam folders and everything." 2. I think I just double pulsed and I don't want to make a new thread about it. When it should've automatically pulsed I got a server error and was told to try again later, so I kept trying to pulse and then it finally pulsed. Now I see 2 pulses in 2 seconds, the second one having 6095 KP/s lol |
