I'm not excusing them for this crap but my guess is they've made it more and more challenging to get new accounts created over time because banned cheaters used it as a way to circumvent some of the banning behavior. I'm guessing you may be stuck in whatever quagmire their process adds to remediating those people and it's definitely broken like you're observing. Maybe you're on accidentally on banned IP list?
