The ban note says there’s too much spam from there. But this doesn’t really sit well with me.
We can’t ban an entire nation because of a few spammers.
I’ve known several talented polish programmers in my life, and I’m fairly convinced they weren’t sending spam as a hobby.
If I get no huge objections, I’ll remove this ban.
I agree with you…
how can you ban an entire COUNTRY based on a few gerks…
Any good spammer would just bounce out of poland anyway. Thats ridiculous.
Kev
Bizarre.
Wow, I thought I would never access this forum again! Anyway It was banned for MONTHS. I tried to discuss this issue with one of the admins but he didn’t bother to reply(and I didn’t think that entire country was banned!).
As a user affected by this situation I must say I’m disappointed by this anti-spam policy. I mean come on? there must be a better way…
Sorry folks. Was an attempt to stop some spam from the domain, but used an over aggressive wildcard block. Thanks MP for fixing this and to all of our members from Poland, it was unintentional. Again, my apologies.
And there are better ways. Again, my sincerest apologies and will work to make sure this does not happen again.
Google is also banned, hence why no JGO content appears on the search engine. At least Bing works ;D
well yeh the domain appears on google but non of the content, e.g. http://209.85.229.132/search?q=cache:uKcdtRBt1NcJ:java-gaming.org/+javagaming&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk
