If that spam was really from you, thats a shame. It means you were the reason we had to shut down the public invite URL.

Due to this experience, we decided to stop letting new members into the Slack until we find a solution to stop spammers from joining our 1000+ strong community.

PS: For the record, your post was clearly spam. It concerned other community members who were vigilant about removing the links you posted for security reasons. I agreed with their assessment, and it made it worse knowing that it was your first post in the Slack. On the bright side you can be rest assured knowing that you are the only person to have been banned from the Slack group for any reason whatsoever, we are pretty lenient in the Slack but we take a very hard line against SPAM of any kind. Sorry.
