If you think you are in the tarpit, send me an email with the host and IP address you use to access the wiki. From that I should be able to tell if you have been explicitly banned. If you use an ISP that assigns dynamic IP addresses, it is possible that someone from your ISP has spammed the wiki in the past causing us to add the IP address to our blacklist. If I know what you are using, it is no problem to remove it from the blacklist. Another idea is to check out the new RubyGarden wiki mirror at [http://rubygarden.org:3000/Ruby](http://rubygarden.org:3000/Ruby). It is currently spam free, so you should be able to see whatever you need there. – – Jim W. ---

Registering preferences with the wiki will work if you are triggering the implicit ban rules. If it will not help if your IP address is listed amoung the explicitly banned IPs. The Ruse wiki solution will address this a bit better. – Jim W. ---
