SPEWS Adds DSL Reports to Block List

Posted by timothy on from the but-they're-good-guys dept.

Kylow writes "Last year, Slashdot publicized our efforts at DSL Reports to pursue a group of spammers who had spammed our forums. The Slashdot community immediately pitched in to help, and the publicity wiped the sites owned by the spammers off the internet. Fast-forward to today, and the popular yet often draconian block-list SPEWS has added DSL Reports to their blocklist due to the activities of other websites hosted on NAC.net. DSL Reports users are less than happy. This is hardly the first time SPEWS has been accused of going too far."

    Was there really any need to mention the color of the girl screaming behind you. I think innocent comments like this reveal the deep seated discomfort many geeks have with people of other races.

    You sir are a racist.
