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:
This action has been automatically identified as harmful, and you have been prevented from executing it. In addition, to protect MediaWiki, your user account and all associated IP addresses have been blocked from editing. If this has occurred in error, please contact an administrator. A brief description of the abuse rule which your action matched is: Specific spam
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?
