Well, it seems today that I'm now unable to post anything over at the 4chan imageboards, otherwise I get this message:
"Posting from your ISP has been blocked due to abuse. [More Info]"
I can still browse the site, all the images and threads load fine, I just can't post. What gives? I've never posted spam or porn.
Posting Saturday was fine. Then Sunday comes and "lolISPblockedduetoabuse". At first I thought it was me, until I realized I hadn't even used AOL at all during the week.

This thread is going to reach 3 years old and moot needs to know about this.
He needs to at least create a way for the innocent people to bypass or be immune to this block. At this rate every ISP will be blocked, what happened to IP range bans? There's no way to bypass those as far as im concerned. Why not range IP ban the shitheads?

Except grorious murrikah, those being the only ones he cares about. So long they share their SUFAHNNEY4CHINZXD stories in Facebook and attempt to greentext in various other forums/whatever despite said places having their own perfectly functional quoting features, he couldn't give less of a shit. I mean, he's already a gay hipster pseudo-celebrity, why should he?

Well, I'm an American, and I'm being blocked from posting. Shouldn't he care about me then?

Hrmm... What if someone started a thread on one of the more computer/tech savvy boards to address the problem of ISP bans? Maybe if it gets enough attention, the mods (I know, I know) might pick up on it and contact Moot?
>>906
I was going to until I realized that my ISP is banned.

What if we send an email at the same time to moot?

If you did that, you'd have to all include the same subject and response or something. I've just started doing an email a week with the headline "ISP Bans (plus some overly done subtitle to get his attention)". Hopefully simple and concise enough for if he ever notices it.

Shit is fucked up. Never even realized banning whole ISPs was even a thing. Why the fuck do WE have to suffer because of some dipshits?

I sent him a tweet. Oh god now I'm associating my real world identity with 4chan, but I want to be able to be able to participate in vidya generals again. It's been months.

I know that feel, bro. Miss discussing comics, and I hate when I see a dying thread, and can't post to revive and talk more.
