IP blocking because of someone spammed from your IP

Post#1 » Tue May 10, 2016 12:42 am

Few months ago there was some great stuff, that checked my browser at the every page update. It was really cool solution, because it allowed to me posting freely without being forced to go to that spam lists and unban my current IP and wait for hour or so to be able to post - like it was before
That problem was described in my past threads, that you closed without any help:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=8257&start=10
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=8632#p91592

Anyway, IP-blocking has been returned here again but became even worse: now it has 2 (two) levels.

1st level is an old good blocking, based on spam-lists. It can be avoided by unblocking your current IP at the related list in the most cases.

2nd level is a similar tool from AKISMET (this is paid tool, as far I know) and it has NO possibility to unban your IP. Today I've got this message:

Do not post information that could potentially belong to another player, thanks.

Nice one, right? Who is that Dresden?
The worse thing is: in the really short time all NAT-addresses from my ISP will be blocked by that AKISMET and I'll lost ability to post at forum.
Ok, I know, you "love" me, but not only me with that problem, obviously! For me there is no reasons to play without forum - this is great part of the game communications.

I'm working in the WEB development, and trust me - this kind of antispam system is extremely human unfriendly.
I'm browsing alot because of SEO things and I never seen this kind of antispam system. Never and nowhere. You are the only I've met with it.
In most cases boards are using captchas (in the other cases the are not using any visible stuff). And in my past threads I've found for you some solid and free(!) solutions. I have no idea, why WEB-devs of ROR are hate captchas, but this is much better than the current system, really.

I hope, you'll think about that and eventually made some human friendly changes here.
