    You filled in your form with a lot of rubbish. Your IP says you are in Ireland, but you say you're a Korean speaker from Kenya in Germany. Every day we get hundreds of spammers making accounts filled out with this sort of stuff and someone banned you. I have re-opened the account. Please change the information in your profile.

    It was I, though I did not have access to the information after I had done the deed, i.e., by the time I responded to antel0pe's question. I will continue to ban any Korean speakers from Germany who lie about where they are. 99.9% of such people turn out to be spammers. As for the other 0'1%, they should not be surprised if we distrust people who misrepresent themselves.

    There is no place for lies and misrepresentation, or (spammers, flamers, and other time-wasters) in this forum.

    It's one of the strange side effects of the web that people can give false information, when they're not being asked for anything personal other than a working email, which can be anonymous, and then think that they have done nothing remotely wrong or suspicious.

    I am having a bad day for typos.

    I have now corrected the word to 'distrust'.
