Why Is My URL Blocked

Topic Type: Discussion

My URL of www.dotcult.com is blocked from submitting stories.

I personally have only submitted 3 or 4 stories to this site in my life.

Is this because I did a blog post saying that as soon as I submitted to sphinn a ton of spam bots scraped my site?

If so,that's piss poor politics.

I hope somebody can explain this, or are you really just trying to censor me? I've never submitted spam. Everything I write is genuine and SEO related.

What Gives?

Everything is being blocked at the moment. Looks like an error, so I guess it's not dotcult.com ;)

Well, why not spam the comments section with submission links instead? - LOL

I think it was just a plot to keep the penis article a top the Sphinn homepage for the rest of the day.

I'm a fan of keeping the penis article at the top of Sphinn indefinatly. Also, what they said :)

@everyone - it seems the file that logs spam and our banned domain list became corrupted. So everyone was banned for a while .  You should be able to post again now.  

And don't be afraid to use the contact form to let us know if something like this happens suddenly to you.  We only ban spam and users from domains that continue to submit really off topic/spammy articles.  A quick heads up via direct contact (the form) vs. a post about it here will generally get the problem solved quicker.

@Michelle - sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the contact form was busted this afternoon too. http://sphinn.com/story/9589
