Possibly got a banned number from using telega #427

I built both tdlib and telega from master yesterday and kept getting an error about telega-server not being started, although I could see my contacts but coult not message. Then, a few hours later, I noticed I was logged out on my phone and now my number is banned. Just sharing this for your information, but I am also banned from twitter, reddit and facebook, so I don't know if telegram is also doing whatever their uncle Sam askes them to do, like silencing Li Goldragon. So it could be my name. I really don't know.. Thank you for your awesome work on telega.el, it looked like an awesome client. :pray:

It's all sorted now. The official android client had a button below "this phone number is banned" which automatically composed an email message, which I sent, and they re-opened my account. Telega works perfectly now. They probably have parameters to try to detect sybil attacks, and using tdlib seems to be one of those parameters. Thank you, your telegram client is awesome, Im loving it. :pray:
