A collegue of mine (kevin-ait) just made his first contribution and got blocked right after.

The username kevin-ait has not been activated or is blocked

What could be the reason?

Hello @corneboele,
I can't see blocked accounts and unable to activate, so the site moderators will help you.

I've unblocked kevin-ait. We have a new method for preventing spam accounts in place and it seems it might not message loud enough that the block is incoming.

Thanks for unblocking me. I did have uBlock Origin enabled, but I can't remember seeing a message about an upcoming block.
