<p>[QUOTE="NOS, post: 1395084, member: 2098"]The admin of the site has blocked alot of overseas IP addresses due to purported security issues from foreign IPs. The issue has been highly overblown in the eyes of many and blocking bots or whatever is one thing but blocking legitimate and very real people in foreign nations is another. The decision to block IPs from so many foreign countries costs Wheres George users <i>thousands</i> of international hits annually. The admin of the site could take steps to allow real people in foreign lands with blocked IPs to access Wheres George to enter or hit bills. For example, the admin of the site could use a captcha system for these blocked IPs. Instead, the admin of the site chooses not to bother and just blocks access to the main Wheres George site altogether. Thousands of other websites have found ways to maintain a high level of security without impeding access to real people. The admin of the site in question refuses to budge, this is arrogance at its finest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
