Singapore Visitors Banned?

[lazzy]

Hi,

I've been hanging around like a fart in a lift for several years, but since the webste update I cannot access from a Singapore (my expat location). I expect this is probably due to a blanket ban for some countries, but not sure if Singers could be an exception? I know i had a similar issue for a while on the old site, and shared a converstaion with another member who was in Japan and having the same issue.

Thanks in advance,

Lazzy

There are some countries where we have a lot of hack attempts, spammers etc, but no members, so I've banned those countries completely from accessing the server.

I've just removed Singapore from the ban list.

The current list of banned countries is:

Russia
China
Ukraine
Taiwana
South Korea
Iran
Pakistan
Kazakhstan
Morocco
Israel
Argentina
Venezuela
Ecuador
India
Brazil
Colombia
Armenia
Nepal
Philippines
Indonesia
Turkey
Vietnam


I'll look at reducing this number, and just ban the worst offending countries.
