The problem was, "innocent" people got blocked that way, too.Well, if the the current conditions continue on this board (ie same trouble makers sign up againg and again) innocent people who are allready on this board will stop coming here. I just see it as a stop gap and not a perm. solution, ie do it till whoever get tired. The other option is to have you hand approve new sign ups for a time, provided they come from non suspect IP's.
>> I've done that, too, and never heard back, even after asking to be notified of any action they take. But I guess that doesn't necessarily mean they didn't take any action, and it wouldn't hurt to do more of that. These aren't all major ISPs, BTW...
I get results from major and minor ISP's at my job, I do suspect it helps that I work for a large ISP, but the method is important. Mail to admin,root and abuse @.whatever.com and wait 2 days, also going to networksolutions and doing a whois and including these people. If no one responds I start mailing 10X every 6 hours, 24/7.
Don't expect them to tell you what they did.Bob, for me, as this is not a list serv, I do not have the option of setting up mail rules to block
anoying people, which is what I would do so I can stay on a list with a signal to noise problem. At some point it just becomes too much trouble to wade through the noise, so i stop coming.James
