I want to change my email address to my new one on protonmail.com but when I enter it it says "The email address you entered has been banned by the administrator. Please try another." can someone unban it?

OK. Though I already messaged shaun. Is that ok? Or should I also message tj?

 

[DinohScene]

Should also be fine.

that service is used by literally all the spambots that register to the site, so we had banned it...
I didn't actually know it was used by legit members. oh well... I've unbanned it, brace yourselves for more spambots I guess

This is a rare moment when I kind of wish you just said, "No, we aren't risking more spambots just for one user." I'm not questioning your choice to unban the email service, but sometimes it's worth keeping up a ban for the betterment of the site.

I thought most of them would have used a service like 10MinuteMail. Didn't realize any of them used ProtonMail.

[jeffyTheHomebrewer]

I whole heartedly agree. There is no reason OP shouldn't use a more reputable email service. There's also no reason to subject the site to more spam in favor of one (or a few) member(s) and their rather poor choice in email providers.

Not all of us want to use a privacy breaching email service like gmail or outlook.

I got my kill button ready. I for once shall overcome @porkiewpyne in killing most spambots! (damn you and your timezone!)

Protonmail I'd consider a reputable mail service. It sounds like they need to do something about the abuse of their service though.

Protonmail is quite reputable, and it's not protonmails fault that people running spambots use it. It's a privacy-respecting provider that (tbh) more people should use, or another alternative like tutanota.
