The email ban list hasn't been triggered since late December, so it's not that. It only covers anonymous and known-bad providers anyway.
The disallowed username list hasn't been triggered for even longer, so it's not that.
There is a list of IP bans, but this list is targeted at IPs and IP ranges which are used in spambot registrations. It's a relatively short list and all ranges added to it are checked against current forum users and player connections in-game to eliminate disruption to valid accounts. This list is triggered much more frequently, but I'd need IP address specifics to say if this is the problem. The IP address that Waffles has been playing from recently (if that's the one he tried registering from) is not in this list.
Billybob: The forums do have an anti-spam provision, but I don't know where or if this logs denied registrations; RK or flowtron will have to look at this.
