I've written up a wiki article on Dropbox but cannot post it. It says:

> Error: This action has been automatically identified as harmful, and
> therefore disallowed. If you believe your action was constructive,
> please inform an administrator of what you were trying to do. A brief
> description of the abuse rule which your action matched is: Spammers not

I also cannot verify my email on the wiki: it won't send the
verification email to my address.

Here's the article, hopefully someone else can post it:
