We had this issue many years ago when people from Norway couldn't sign up. Took us a while to figure out

Narrow escape for people from Yemen (YE).

As a Norwegian I'm very curious, where in the pipeline were you using YAML? And why?

I've only seen it used for configuration.

I've seen teams use it as a replacement for JSON because it has the perception of being more "modern"

We were using a fork of https://github.com/carmen-ruby/carmen/tree/master/iso_data/b... with our own translations. We used the data in the signup form.

usually locale's paths gone wrong

I usually think of yaml for internal config files, would never think of yaml for user data.

Don't ask me why though, might have something to do with how it's written like a python file, no user would want to write their data in yaml format.

Probably, OP didn't keep user data in YAML, but I think there was config that kept allowed countries to sign up.
