Your ip address has been flagged as a possible spammer. To become unblocked please complete the following challenge question:
-
For some reason your IP comes up on four Blacklist reports as a spammer? It is probably someone near you with the same service?
-
As a matter of fact, I looked up my own IP address and it also comes up on four different spammer black list reports so I do not see your IP address as being any worse than mine?
-
any fix??
-
I don't see your IP being any more suspicious than my own and I have never been challenged by a validity question?
Why not lets see how it goes after you've gone through the challenge a couple times?
I've seen people on here with very questionable IP addresses that are proxies and I have not heard of them complaining about a challenge?
So I really don't understand why the challenge at this point? But I'm not the administrator.

When you get blocked they said to follow the hyper link and do what ever it ask and then your same IP shouldnt be blocked anymore.
From other thread ((((((They told me if a member is being blocked, ALL they have to do is follow the hyper link in the blockage to prove they are not a spammer. The other 2 did that. ))))))))

Cool hope it works out. This type of stuff is out of my hands.
I can only ask support for help info for you.

Chances are your email address was hacked, and you dont know it. Spammers are using your email to send from. Change all your passwords immediately and you should be aok.

Was just told by support if your IP changes it could happen more often too. ::)
Seems like it is happening everywhere that uses the server. Thread on subject at support.

Trust me folks we are not the only forum out there being hit by spam guard stuff. Threads are on it in support.
They offered to remove the forum here from the broad coverage spam filter. So lets see what happens. Be prepared mods, just in case spammers get through now.
I said - The server spam filter is blocking members, mods. They have to pass their BS everytime too.
I just wonder how many new members cant get signed up due to this spam filter................Been told by 1 so far that contacted me on another site.
They said -
Yes it can happen. They are probably on the database of http://www.stopforumspam.com
If we did not use it forums would be a lot slower and have more spam problems
If you have a forum url that you can give I can also try to remove antispam from your forum as well as an option
-
Spam filter has been disabled for this CR forum per support. ((Disabled for your forum.))
