I need to create an Apple account since yesterday. At first I got the error message "Your account cannot be created at this time." right away. So I waited until the Cloudflare outage was over.

After that, I could submit the request, received codes via email and text message. But when I enter the code from the text message, the error message "Your account cannot be created at this time." appears again.

The service "Apple Account" is marked green on Apple's status page. The email address and phone number are working, as they both received the codes.

IMDb:

• Cara Gee
• The Expanse

Update: The IMDb has the wrong birthday at the time of this posting. I submitted the correct date, July 18.

So many people are affected by suspensions (even permanent) for reporting posts. The admins are gaslighting users who bring this to their attention.

I gathered a short list of examples of people talking about this topic.

In case you are still a Reddit user and logged in: DON'T COMMENT AND VOTE ON THESE REDDIT POSTS!

r/modhelp

• Question about a permanently banned acount (for report abuse)

r/ModSupport

• False bans issued for "Report Abuse"
• Yesterday I got permanently banned from Reddit because of reporting a ban evading user
• Just finished a suspension for “report abuse” regarding a post I reported over 3 months ago.
• What defines report abuse, before reddit actions it?
• "Report abuse" abuse and other issues with "Report abuse".
• Recent uptick in being falsely suspended for report abuse?
• Most of my moderation team has been banned site-wide at least once in the past few months, including myself. Morale has hit rock bottom. What exactly is Reddit's end-game here?

r/NewToReddit

• Anyone know how to avoid “reporting abuse” bans or what triggers that?
• Can I get banned from reporting a ton of posts that definitely break a subreddit’s rules?

extern

• I live alone, have very few hobbies and my Reddit account was permanently banned for "report abuse." My appeals are being ignored, and Reddit is a big part of my life. How do I reach Reddit admins to defend myself?
• Reddit once banned my account for "report abuse". The content I had reported was then removed by them for being against their rules. No amount of appeals could get a response from them.

I just had to vent. I'm serious, don't react to these posts on Reddit. No, this isn't one of these "I tell you not to do something in the hope you are doing something" cases.

I'm too late for Halloween, but I need to mention the show I finished watching for the first time last week: The Strain

By Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan.

Plot summary directly from the IMDb:

A mysterious viral outbreak with hallmarks of an ancient and evil strain of vampirism ravages the city of New York.

When I first heard about the show a few years ago, I dismissed it. I already watched too many similar shows, and it didn't sound worth it. But it was worth it.

And what's always a plus: It's now a finished show. Not canceled. It has a real ending with an 8.2 rating on IMDb. You know how the last episodes of shows catch all the hate if they weren't satisfying enough for the fans.
