• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Here is who is banned and why

Wow. I freely admit my ignorance when it comes to how the net functions but I cannot say thanks enough to those who keep their fingers in the dyke. I first learned about the continuous stream of hackers, viruses and so forth during a stint in the corporate world. If you think of these assaults in that way you can appreciate the efforts needed to stay dry. Thanks to all who fight the good fight.:applause:
 
Ickie,

I am just wondering about FengZ. He is in China and a big time FS person and screenshot artist. Is it possible to keep him onboard? He moved there from Los Angeles.

Thanks ChaCha,

I thought he was in China.



Thanks Ickie for all your outstanding hard work.

I for one am very greatful.

Again, you've gone above and beyond the call of duty.

I know my work load has dropped 90% since I added the new security scripts, now I can take a nap without worry of when I wake I have to fix something, lol
 
I'm glad I'm not on that list!

I don't blame you a bit Ickie. It's a shame you have to do it though. Why can't people just behave themselves???
 
Well, that's sad. I understand the need for the security amd many thanz for keeping SOH safe, but...

The problem is I'm Russian citizen, and I work in China - so it's very problematic to get to SOH - cause you've banned the largest Russian ISP (corbina.ru), the second largest city as a whole (spb.ru), and many ones who host on Yandex (a kind of Russian Google). The problem is that i can get to SOH only while in Volgograd in Russia (St.Petes is banned, and I have to use wimax in Moscow, which cannot give me a static IP). Also in China I don't know if it's possible to get a static IP from my ISP - will try to figure out.
