ROFL! TAnderson, still jealous as always I see ....
I do believe you owe us a very serious appology for your message and
incidentally what you said above is a false assumption and a lie but
then you already knew that ....
You are wrong! We not block whole ISPs or any large IP blocks!
The only IPs that we block specifically are just those of confirmed
proxy servers, hosting servers, and open relays only.
If you are not using a proxy server then you were not blocked by us
directly but rather by one of the major spam blacklist databases
such as SpamCop or similiar and you would only be disallowed from
signing up from web hosting and not from visiting our web site!
Still you haven't learned a lesson!
Jealous of what ? I am not a host in first place and you don't have that great credentials even to make anyone jealous. People who judge applicants by IPs, most of which are dynamic, how sensible they can be ?
Whatever boasting you do, doesn't justify to any extent how secure your systems or hosting is. Its your hosting, whom you give its upto you, but under no circumstances you have any right to raise a finger on anyone without even knowing ABC of what you boast. :readthis:
Just don't blame anyone without having facts and evidence.
Hilarious it gets, I used a home PC to register on forum and its DNS-blackhole, I try from office using my office laptop with a different net connection, even same comes for that. Amused by your logic though, I asked a friend of mine to try and hes from diff. state with diff. ISP, and he's also blocked, same silly message.
You and your host owe a serious and well directed applogy to all whom you throw those silly useless messages without even giving them chance to apply. If you do not want to give them chance, tell that flat, don't pass buck on them. Most people use dynamic IPs and so is mine, now thats the way my ISP works but its not proxy one. How sensible is it to block people or judge them by IP, really boasts of quality of people you have on rolls there and nature of services offered. Sensible people use applicants views and descriptions to judge evenif IPs are listed black, for nowadays dynamic IPs have really dissolved the significance of IP alone.
People who might have abused, would have got other methods or even diff. ISP and now who pays the price, its others who are using the IP without having any such intention or knowledge.
You don't catch a criminal, its fine but you just don't label most of the people as criminal and ask them to proove themselves innocent.

Oh by the way, our own blocking technology against bad users like
yourself doesn't have anything to do with IP address but rather is based
on the user's computer itself which probably in and of itself is too much
of a clue how it actually works so I will shut up now.
On what basis can you say that ? I need a justification man. its a personal attack and you need to watch here. I have been a helpful member here as well as other places I have been or I go and just because I don't agree with you does not mean I am bad.
Just stop from personal attacks, would you ?
You can at maximum recognise MAC address, nothing more, and all it needs is a diff. LAN or similar to change that besides format. So, don't talk about those as logics.

What you just said is enough to tell me that it is a 3rd party
blacklist database that has your IP listed because our
forum community signup page is where the RBL checks
are performed against your IP.
If you send me your IP address in private message, I can lookup
and see who has your IP listed so that you can contact that
blacklist service to get your IP removed.
Depending on the reason why they have your IP blacklisted,
I may be able to set an override in our system to allow
you to go ahead and signup despite your IP being listed.
Exactly the same as happened in my case. You posted simialr reply and then quickly jumped to PM abusing me and explaining me your so called logics as if Billy boy employed you yesterday. Thing is I didn't bend to it and refused to accept your logics and provide you with IP, its a dynamic one, so useless, because it will change next session.
I would still request, don't use principle of guilty untill prooven innocent.
Wisemen, understand both sides and say innocent untill prooven guilty.
Peace
