Am I a spammer???

  • Hey dudes, i know this is maybe not the right place to post this but i was shocked when i was trying today to comment on a website (rollernews.com) and i got the follwoing message:

    Your location has been identified as part of a reported spam network. Comments have been disabled to prevent spam.

    I already posted on that site a lot like anybody does there…

    Any hint to get rid of this spaming accusion???

    Carnac says: An IP Block.

    You’ll have to talk to whomever runs the site, I’m betting they killed your IP range because someone else spammed.

    God, now I feel old.

    That’s not old. Carno would be old. (Which is honestly what I thought of when you said Carnac.)

    I don’t believe an Akismet message would say comments were disabled; I’ve had commenters get dumped into the spam queue and they never say a peep about it. More likely, as Ipstenu suggests, the blog owner has done an IP ban on his server. It’s reversible.
