Icon8 Grieving families my butt! O/T

I just have to share this because I'm really offended and shocked by it.

Lately I've been feeling even more down in the dumps than usual, I blamed it on the holidays but this is about losing my mum really. So lately I've been holding my hands up a bit more to the fact that it was a tremendous loss for me and I need support.

So cut long story short, I google sites to possibly join a forum and find a site called grieving families. You have to register before you can read, which gave me comfort knowing no one would just be lurking something so personal.

So I register to join and receive an email asking me to activate my account by filling out X code. So I click on link and get to first page asking me to log in again. I am denied to log in as I haven't activated (d'oh) and so I just sit on it and wait. The following morning I receive an email saying I have been denied access to site as I have not responded to their email requiring more information about me to activate my account.
I'm surprised as I haven't received any email, so I go through my junkmail and nothing is there either.

So I'm thinking, wow they're a bit over the top aren't they, but maybe it's for personal reasons. I decide to give it one last shot so change my username and register again. This time I am not only denied access, but I have been banned by IP address to ever access the site! (even the log in or register bit).

I am sharing the email sent to me because I just feel like it's entirely unjustified. For anyone whose been low in the dumps the way I am, and for those who aren't - I realize this might come across like a small thing to you but to me it's not. I'm going to this site because I've lost someone I love very dearly and not only am I given hassle but I'm basically told to f off.
You don't exactly go to a page like this for fun. I'm really saddened by it.

If anyone knows of a grieving page where they welcome you to their family please let me know. I'm going through a rough time and I know I should brush this off and go on - but at this moment in time I can't.

How rude!

"Dear charlotte, Our staff has opted not to approve your account, and therefore it has been removed. The following reason was provided for why your account was not approved: I have sent you an e-mail asking you for additional information before we can approve you.You have CHOSEN to ignore that e-mail so this time I'am not only denying you but I'am ALSO banning you.This is the 3rd time you have tried to register in our forum AFTER being told twice that you have been denied.Why do you insist on trying to register when you can't even respond to our e-mails?? Tammy King"

Ps. I can't even reply to the email to say there's been a misunderstanding because of course they've got one of these automatic services!
