Thanks guys, scott too. It seems like coming from south of the border (almost all the way to Antarctica, actually) gets your papers extra checked before you get admitted

In all seriousness, there's probably a few factors that could be influencing this flagging:
- IP address. I'm posting directly from my ISP in Argentina, I doubt there are many spammers in my network.
- VPN. I'm not using one.
- Email address. I suspect this could be the culprit, whenever I register on a site I don't enter my actual email address but an alias provided to me that redirects to my account, for convenience (less spam) and privacy.
Maybe others that also were put on the waiting list can confirm whether they fall into any of the above categories.
Anyways, great to see you all here. And thanks Guru of Nothing for actually taking the time to put together a solution.
