the fun is that if they use such a system and some few guys report their problem here on this site, it means that a lot more people will be blocked randomly... i don't think they need to lock down half of their potential customers just to be sure some spammers do not trash their site... or they are too lazy to install better server-side security fixes...

Still not working here.
No fake ISP, I'm not a bot, lol I am not going to use a proxi to get to the site, so they can do what they like, but all this means that I can't log on there for vB Arcade, which I was going to install. --------------- Added 29 Apr 2012 at 15:46 ---------------

Thank you to those who let us know about the issue, and my apologies to those who were blocked. As BirdOPrey guessed, I did install ZB Block last week in an attempt to fight spammers. Since it's obviously blocking at least a few people that are not spammers, I've disabled the system so nobody should have any issues accessing the site now.

That takes care of a good bit of spam, but still quite a bit slips through.

...best way to stop spammers is to close the site... rofl
ok, no, i mean with all the tricks used by all the people here, and no situation working properly, over the time, it's simply better to find a way to deroute spammers instead of blocking them...
