I doubt very much that the poster was blocked. It's likely that he
received an email auto-response as a first-time poster, and may not have
understood it. Allessio, if that's the case please let me know if you
think we could improve the message to make it easier to understand.

That's because I independently spotted the error some while ago and
raised a ticket against it:

http://pydotorg.python.org/pydotorg/ticket/427

Note that if you find a bug anywhere in www.python.org the left-hand
navigation feature contains a "report website bug" link which is the
appropriate way to raise these issues.

You may need to create an account on the Trac instance used to track web
site issues (which means emailing someone due to spam comments in the
past, sorry) but you can then raise these issues directly with the site
maintenance team.

It may also be worth mentioning that we are always on the look out for
dedicated and conscientious new additions to the web team, so if you
would like to lend a hand please email (e-mail address removed). It helps if
you are already "known" in some way, such as being a regular contributor
to c.l.py, but that's not an absolute requirement as far as I know.

regards
Steve

It's also possible that Allessio got hit by the broken alias for
(e-mail address removed), which got fixed yesterday (not sure when it got
broken).
