If You Get BLOCKED...

If you get blocked from this site:

  • I have 3 sites, and a block from one of them may block you from all of them

  • the way to get your IP address blocked is to screw around and do something unfriendly, there are software based protections that ban addresses that unfriendly actions come from

  • I get notices that blocks have happened every day, they happen automatically when people do unfriendly things that you sometimes read about in the news

  • It might happen that the person in the office next to you (on your same network) has a double life, and in one of those lives tries to take revenge for perceived or imaginary wrongs. You will get rolled into the resulting IP block.

  • If you believe you have been treated unfairly, call your mother, she always knows what to do

  • seriously, if you believe you have been blocked in error, then you’re probably not reading this because you’re blocked

  • Obviously, I find this difficult to take seriously. If you feel you have been blocked in error, and have gotten around the block or had a friend forward this to you, my contact information is all over the web, and it hasn’t changed in a long time. If you can give me your IP address and convince me that you’re not some malevolent entity with horns, tail and pitchfork, I might take a look and see what’s going on.

Now if “your” ip gets blocked we’re all in trouble.

You assume I have a memory. If I get blocked, I’m going to be thinking “which one of the Matts runs that place?”

There’s another site I keep half expecting to get blocked from for posting links to stuff here, but so far it hasn’t happened.

I’d Explode the Block, maybe edit it or redefine its Insertion Point.

If I haven’t been blocked there, you’ve got a long way to go to reach that milestone…

So, which other site am I not allowed to screw with? :stuck_out_tongue:

mike miller Oooh, that’s cold.I don’t know how you guys get away with it. There’s nothing like a train wreck to drive traffic, but when all the traffic is making fun of you…

I don’t think I have to worry about anyone who’s here. You guys aren’t the ones who get banned. Usually it’s … don’t know how to finish that sentence.

Anyway, some folks from SW can’t get to the site, so they sent people to harass me. They should just talk to me directly if they have something to say.

LOL, really? SW giving you trouble?

I haven’t been able to log in for a long time, I don’t know why, I mentioned before, there is no problem when using DNS application.

Not real trouble. I don’t expect anything from them, so it’s hard to disappoint me.

I haven’t checked recently, but if they haven’t updated the TOS, you aren’t violating it because you aren’t promoting YOUR product…Doesn’t mean they won’t delete it anyway…

You can’t sign in to the SW site or this one?

There is no problem in this forum.
I can’t open SW forum, if you change DNS it will open.
But there was no such problem before. (I didn’t need to change DNS.)

If he couldn’t sign in to this site how do you think he posted his message? :laughing:

Sorry Matt, couldn’t resist.

Unless you are talking about someone else you have no idea what it would be like to be harassed by me and no one sends me anywhere unless you’re my wife or writing me a check. :smiley:

I just thought I was doing you a courtesy of telling you what people were saying about you and letting you know that some people are having a hard time accessing the site.

Well, there were 3 people doing what these people should do themselves. You start shuttling for them and they will become dependent on you.

No idea what the other two told you but I’d hardly consider telling you that people can’t get to your site and that they are saying less than flattering things in professional circles about you “Shuttling”…so I’ll just assume you must be talking about them.
