bigbrowndog Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Is there some reason that the mods can think of that would keep someone from Namibia from being able to join the forum??? I spoke with some IPSC buddies from Namibia, the other day and they said they were unable to log into the forum. I am sure they would like to get the shooting info, and match info that is available on the forum. They want to come over and shoot some 3 gun/multigun, and the only venue they have for this type info is the Global Village, and it does not allow any announcements not IPSC related or below level 3. thanks for your help, Trapr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Boudrie Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 1. Can they get to the forum at all? Their IP may be blocked. The system uses "APF" (Advanced Policy Firewall) that automagically blocks IPs from blocks with a history of being the source of spam/hacks/felonious mopery and the like. 2. If they can't open the forum, get their IP - Brian or I can check to see if the system is blocking it and, if so, may be able to have it re-opened.

Flexmoney Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I thought we had a member from Namibia. I can't recall if I've seen him in a while... We do get hit with spammers. If the IP address traces back to a place where we only get spammed and have no members, then Brian might block a range of IP addresses. So, get their IP addresses and PM them to Brian (or Rob)...but, not me (I'm the guy keeping the oars moving, not steering the ship ) In summary...more info is needed.

bigbrowndog Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 thanks Flex, will do. keeping them oars moving, does that mean you're the guy at the drum banging out the tempo or the guy with the whip!!!!!!!!! Trapr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benos Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I have a lot of African IPs blocked on the server, because we get a MASSIVE amount of spammers from there. But I can unblock an IP or even a range of IPs if I know theirs. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
