We've had recent influx of spammers\spambot accounts (checked through
http://www.stopforumspam.com/). All the IPs and Usernames have been banned and validation has been added to the membership sign up
Mistakes do happen though and if you have been banned in error you should be able to PM me and you can always contact another player in-game to ask on your behalf.
Sorry for inconvenience and thanks for your patience
(and yes, I have got a cream for the rash
)
