Blocked IP Addresses

Postby David » Tue Feb 10, 2009 3:50 pm

Hi Everyone

In an effort to restrict spammers from this forum we really tight spam settings. As a result it appears as though our spam settings may be a little too strict and some of our loyal members are being blocked. Please know that this is not our intent. If you receive an error when trying to contact the forum please contact me through my web site at www.1sourcemarketingllc.com and we will address your situation promptly.

Right now we are dealing with this on a case by case basis as we really do not want relax our settings just yet. However, it this persists then we will.

It is our goal to insure that Chaos Fanatics is a great experience for everyone.

Thank you for your patience.

Aaah... the joys of spam management! :x :evil: :twisted:

Just a question - if they cannot get in, how will they see this message ? Suggest perhaps getting Chaos Software to put a note ???

Actually we have done a fairly good job of staying on top of it so far. But there have been a few moments.

At any rate anyone can browse for forum without being logged in, so if they are having trouble hopefully they will see this post.

David,
Thank you for fixing my block.
However, cschung has a point. When you cannot even access the site, you cannot see any of the information.

Point noted. After rethinking this based upon cschung's post I realized that banned ip's cannot even browse. We have taken some other measures over the last 24 hours in an attempt to correct this problem. Hopefully we will not have any other instances.

Thank you all for your help.
