Your drafts? Can you provide more detail? It's nothing being done on the RI admin end!

Grizzly: Seriously, as I told you on the earlier incidence of this, I have no idea what spamhaus is! I don't know how that appears as a message from our own phpbb board. We don't have a "spamhaus" feature on the mod or admin controls. I have never seen it elsewhere. I also would not know how action or a protocol from the server/host, from your own operating system, or perhaps from the phpbb software, would produce what you are seeing as a board message. Have you looked up if it's some kind spamware or malware, this spamhaus? Around here any sanctions would be done openly with a stated cause, not through some stealth inconvenience strategy. Please try to figure out other possibilities for what is going on. I can tell you from last week's board shutdown incident that the weirdest shit happens, and the reason can be something you would have never thought at first.

Looks like malware injecting some html nonsense enticing the victim to go to spamhaus and "fix" it.

^^Spamhaus is legit. They track spam and compile blacklists that a lot of companies use.

@Grizzly: you can take a look here to try to get your IP delisted:

FYI in case someone contacts me and I don't reply right away, my elderly cat died today and I'll be taking the weekend off.

Awww, man... Condolences Elvis. Losing our fur babies is soooo hard. I put mine down in 07, haven't been able to go through that again.


RE: Blocking, blacklisting... Yeah, yeah. I at first thought the way Hugo Farnsworth, suggested, and that it might have been a phishing link, (Spamhaus) but since I run linux, I'm more adventurous and not as hesitant to try what Dr. Evil suggested. Didn't really get anywhere that way either, as it was unclear territory, and the techspeak unfamiliar further in, and since it stopped out of nowhere, just as it began out of nowhere. I would have completely let it go, as an anomaly, if it had only happened once, but it kept happening this time, and then just stopped again.

https://www.spamhaus.org/lookup/ was useless, at first it told me, I wasn't blacklisted, and further in told me my ip was, because of 'possible bitcoin mining', from my router, then the issue abruptly stopped, again told me my ip was safe. So, I’m just as baffled as before.

Thanks everyone for the condolences. :basicsmile

Gina died about three years ago; a few months later I brought this new cat home from my workplace, where she'd showed up out of the blue one day in 2006 (making her at least 15 years old). For the first two years, she wouldn't let anybody touch her or get too near. Gradully she began to feel safe around us, loved being petted, and had a good life living on the business compound. After she was attacked by a raccoon a couple of years ago, I took her home to live with me, and she lived her last two years in luxury.

We've been very patient and too accomodating with chump's antisemitic sources. Notorious Holocaust denier Michael Hoffman is the last straw. We're not having it here.

This is an anti-fascist board. Propagation of fascist, neo-Nazi and "white pride" causes, including sympathetically linking to sites which advocate such, will not be permitted. This includes revisionist histories of the Holocaust.

Okay... I have been dropping and reading without necessarily posting for a while and I'm just wondering why I haven't seen much of Jack Riddler around the place?

I worry about you people, even tho I don't know you in RL I've known some of you for fifteen years via Jeffs blogs and boards.

Jack I hope you are good and the 'rona hasn't got to you.
