Apparently my website is on the spam list for, well, being spam. As I can tell you right now my web site is not a spam site or any type of malicious site. It is a tech website where I inform and recommend my views on different products or services and I just give general thoughts on tech issues.

So if a mod is reading this is there a way I can get it removed or explain to me why my website is bad.

My website is why I have my channel on WyldRyde, for people who like what I do to come talk and hang out. I am constantly trying to give links of my site to help visitors looking for advice or help but it doesn't help if I have my site blocked.

So I sorry if in the past when I didn't know better and spammed and I have learned my ways.


Spamed website: thetechsoup.com

Websites are not always added to our SF (spam filter) for being malicious. In this case, your website was added to our filter for being spammed on the network by one or more people.

Rarely are websites removed from the filter, however, I will look into the exact reasons for it being added.

I've removed it since I don't think it was spammed by you but please discourage anyone from doing that or we'll have to re-add it.

Ok, I went to give someone my web address today and BAM my website is on the spam list. Now I want to know WHY!

I don't
-spam
-host a IRC server
-give out viruses
-spam my web address

There is no way it is back on there. For the past week I have been moving my whole website to a dedicated server.

I'm sorry I am getting sick and tired of this spam list. If I just got my address off your spam list why would I advertise.

I can't seem to connect to your IRC servers, you must of taken them down until your URL is off the spam filter list.

Okay, so techhelper1 told me that reason servers are down is because DNS is being redone, and the host is being changed.

It was removed and I don't think it was added back by a human...I have a feeling it's in there now due to a split server reconnecting.

I'll have to push the spamfilter again. Will do Monday, if not sooner.
