    VBF IP Blocked

    I was testing an IP address to see if it was VBF's, it was it, but my computer has a block on it. the ip was blocked because the site ip was listed under "Illegal Drugs". Whats up with that?

    Just contact the database provider and explain. Some scum spammer has probably got VBF put on there with his viagra emails. Send them a link to here and they should take VBF off their list fairly quickly. It happens a lot.

    It doesn't say when you get the message that you are blocked. Should be something like Spamhaus or one of the others. Post what you get and I'll have a look at it.

    Can you post the URL for the form?

    Does this forum have a shoutbox or something similar?

    Go to the "report it" link and tell them they are reporting a programming forum as selling illegal drugs and we should be off their databases within 24 hours. Send them a link so they can investigate for themselves unless we have some back room that I am not aware of yet. Childsafe is just a service that probably uses a number of established databases to make it's decisions but they should pass on the information or at least give you somebody to contact. Their website gives only snailmail adresses.

    Found it! Sent them a message. We have ticket number #693-2678956 Unfortunately as soon as you come up with one way to get around the spammers they come up with two more to get around you. It is life on the Net.

    Here it is http://support.webroot.com/ics/suppo...cketID=2678956 Just remember that some of you are just waking up while the rest of us are going to bed. Give them a bit of time before we abuse them.
