Last week I purchased the Cantai for Dorico license. Immediately I joined the Cantai Discord. Today I received an email stating my account was disabled for Terms of Service violations - spam, etc., I didn’t pay close attention to all the things they were accusing me of. Thing is, I hadn’t yet made a single post! All I’ve done so far is to join. My only activity, if you can call it that, was to verify my email address.
They didn’t tell me the IP address from which the forbidden activity originated, so I can’t tell whether someone hijacked my account. Or maybe they spoofed my IP address. I dunno.
I wonder if this has happened to others. My gut feeling is that if their system is this messed up, I don’t want to be a part of it.
I found Discord an absolute pain to join and actually gave up earlier. Only made a new effort, reluctantly parting with my phone number, as I wanted to follow the Cantai discussion.
Might be a phish, but it’s very disturbing nonetheless. I hadn’t used Discord for years and only at that time for a beta test of what was a pretty bad email client for the Mac. I’m about to ditch my Discord account since I’m not likely to use it further. It’s an interesting platform and at one time, was pretty useful. It’s more for gamers I think.
My thanks to you and the others who replied. I joined the Discord because the knowledge base for Cantai on Dorico seems almost nonexistent, and I wanted to have as many resources at my disposal as possible - to answer questions like “My piece was playing fine, I closed and restarted Dorico, and now the soprano part is inaudible.”
