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 webmaster at python.org. 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
