Looks like you hit the abuse filter, an automated anti-abuse system. In your case it thought your action matched that of a spammer (abuse filter 47) however it looks like an admin already reviewed this and unblocked you

I registered an account on mediawiki tried to post to the VisualEditor talk page. I immediate received this message:

I certainly didn't try and post any spam. There's no clear guide on how to get unblocked anywhere. I can't post anywhere to ask because the site blocks me. I found this mailing list, so maybe someone on the list can tell me?
