Access Issues

[Atlaua]

I've spent some time recently working on the server's firewall. In an attempt to prevent SPAM rather than react to it, I've setup the server to block connections from literally thousands of IP addresses that are known for running anonymous proxies.

Most of the spammers, including the two who are running automated scripts that have been trying (but failing) to post spam every 5 minutes for weeks use these anonymous proxies to hide their actual identity and bypass IP blocks.

If you begin to find yourself unable to reach MWD from a location (home, work, etc) or know of someone else who does, please contact me with the IP address you are attempting to connect from and I will investigate.

Ahh, those must have been posted while I was deleting the account, that's the only way a post can show up as guest.

They're gone.

Why? It can't post and it's helping me find all of the proxies.
