    Please don’t squat, you might “win” in the short run but you will get charges sooner or later.

    Instead seek local organizations and churches who might be able to point you in the right directions and/or provide you assistance.

    And in place of panhandling for cash (if it allowed), you might get better luck if you simply ask for donation(s) for what you are needing (i.e. food instead of money to get said food). To me it’s more understanding if a person on the streets ask for some bread than if they looking for $3 to get a loaf.




  • It’s honestly USUALLY not that difficult to dedicate sufficient time to prune a community here as needed within reasons. Beside a well moderated community is less likely to be spammed in the long run considering it will be less efforts than it’s worth.

    Problems USUALLY arises because there’s a lack of moderation, not because new users should be pulled back or from being signed up. This is more evident in game servers and believe me I can tell them apart what’s a well oiled game server from one that isn’t. Same goes for online communities.





  • I am sorry but I am lost on what you means. I gotten a $30 5.25" Dual Hot Swappable 2.5" bays which each of the drives connected through the SATA interface (you plug the respected SATA cables in each bays’ end and the drives connections are literally “clicks into place”).

    So I thought if the drives are on standby “hence I assume are therefore not spinning up/down” then I thought it safe to pulls them out. Since I thought they would not be doing anything if they are simply on standby.






  • But that is WHY they are filtering VPNs to be honest. Because as I been saying it just not worth it to keep VPN users online when the BULK of the spammers are using the same.

    Even when you go out and buy something you probably gonna be asked to turn off your VPN or your order won’t be processed/requires additional steps. I know majority of hosting providers do at least.


  • Precisely I don’t think (as of now anyways) there a mean to “filters” VPN users effectively or otherwise general spam and such than to “cut the entire line off”.

    Take the Wasp and Hornet spray that we had to apply on our porch. It is depressing that a bee had to die? Absolutely but we had to spray or else we would be “spammed” by wasps and hornets that could damage our rental.

    Sometimes you have to take the “nuclear option” until more targeted solutions can be developed.


  • You still need to considers the costs of accepting said users though, even if you don’t likes it being done in such manners.

    Just think of anti-fraud measures which denying VPNs are apart of. If you are a small firm and you need to protect your business aren’t you inclined to do the same exact measures and tell your FraudLabsPro to ignore/caution against VPN orders?


  • Whens it comes to VPNs, there is just TOO MUCH risks involved with VPN users to allow openly for larger applications and businesses. Compared to “ordinary users” due to the privacy nature of VPNs.

    As I said before, if it would take 10x the amount of resources to let a legitimate user “in” compared to a “normal” user then why shall a business expel 10x the resources to let that happen for the FEW legitimate VPN users in comparison?


  • This isn’t news, any major platforms and even commercialized businesses will block/limits VPNs. They just not worth the risks associated with them. And as businesses there are not worth the “risks” to “capture leads from” which I agrees in a business sense.

    After all if you gotta deal with say 1,000 spammers why let that 1 “legit guy” be allowed? If the usual loads is non VPNed spammers 100 per legit non VPN user 1 for instance?
