Gmail addresses containing 4 dots or more in the first half of the email address, before the @, are now blocked from registration.
With gmail, dots are ignored when delivering an email, for example john.doe@gmail.com and johndoe@gmail.com point to the same inbox.
Spammers using gmail addresses abuse this: they put random dots in, and so if an account gets banned for spam they can register another account without needing a brand new gmail account.
If you are a legitimate gmail user who usually use that many dots, remove some dots and it will work.
