Why does it say I am Blacklisted?

[CaptainBill]

I recently tried to sign up for the Edison wedge offer to test their wedges. When I tried to post on the forum, Saying that " I would like to test their wedges to see if it improves my game" it came back as " I am Black listed". My question is why ? I have never made a derogatory comment on anything in any Forum. I have signed up for other test offers and never was picked. How come I am blacklisted?

I can't answer the "blacklist" question, I'm sure one of the Moderators will get in touch with you.  But since you're interested in being involved in the test, you should probably read this:

In particular, read the part where it says that you really need to be involved in the Forum to be considered as a tester.  Get involved, contribute your experiences or opinions or questions!

Thank you for the feed back. Like I said I was trying to make a post and it came back I was Black listed. Cannot figure out why in the least. I even checked to make sure my VPN thinking that was the issue. However, it was not on.

Have whitelisted your account. Due to your VPN and IP association it was flagged in our system.

My VPN was not on. So what do I do? Can you un-FLAG me?

As Jamie and Elson stated you are good to go now.  Sometimes VPN and IP addresses can get flagged by our system thinking it’s spam. 
 

Also take a peak at the link Dave posted.  It lays out what we look for in testers. We try to be as open and honest with the members as we can be. If you have any questions at all feel free to reach out anytime.
