While I tried registering on wordpress, I did not receive any confirmation email from the website.
When I tried again, it told me that:

That email address already has an account. The registration is still pending, please check your email for the confirmation link. Resend confirmation email.

To double check, I checked the spam box as well. I've tried different emails again and again without success. I would appreciate any help you can provide.

• We're not part of wordpress.org, sorry, we just know how to develop with their software. You'd have to ask them directly. However I'm struggling to see how you'd do that. – Rup Commented Aug 24, 2021 at 11:22
• @Rup Therefore, how can I find somebody who knows the solution, considering that I can't access their forum since I cannot register – Abdoljabbar Commented Aug 24, 2021 at 14:26
• 1 I guess you can't get into WordPress Slack either? I'd try the email address on this question - that sounds about right: wordpress.org/support/topic/update-my-wp-org-email-address – Rup Commented Aug 24, 2021 at 14:51
• @Abdoljabbar, if it's a problem with your mailbox, I'd suggest you use a service like temp-mail.org to generate a temporary email for the registration, so that you get the initial signup going. Later you should be able to your email from the profile page. – vlood Commented Aug 24, 2021 at 15:34

I sent an email to [email protected], and they resolved the issue. They replied with the following reason:

Why This Happened

Due to the high volume of mail and signups we have at WordPress.org, and the sadly high number of fake accounts, we have a very complex system to try and catch bad actors before they make life miserable for everyone.

Sometimes that tool gets a little exuberant and false-flags. We are a actively working to improve this.
