I’m sorry if the League is being blocked for possible security threats. I’m not really sure what’s going on. I thought I had found the culprit lodged into one of our posts earlier, but it seems Google is still blocking the site. Or the site is somehow being blocked on some browsers. Not really sure what’s going on honestly, but we’re working on it. Tips are welcome.

E.D., I don’t know if this is a site issue or just a problem I’m having.
The suggested book club reading, Empire of Illusion, seems to have vanished. Any info on this?
Thanks.Report
@Bob, We thought that was the culprit. I’ve scanned my laptop with McAfee twice now and it’s clean and I just wrote the post on the laptop. I could easily have done something wrong in the process, but I’m not sure what.Report
@Rufus, thanks.
Have the book. The first chapter was interesting.Report
@Bob, Cool. I thought so too. So far, the second chapter is more intense, in a good way.Report
@Rufus,
this will be my first and last comment till the discussion commences. It’s a good way to catchup on WWE and Jerry Springer shenanigans, blow-by-blow, if you don’t watch them. Yikes!Report
Could it just be that it was my post for some reason and Google blocks the site for a block of time? It says it was listed for suspicious activity twice in the last 90 days- maybe we have to wait for a clean bill of health?Report
@Rufus, On that note, I’m going to hold off on posting until the problem’s solved. I’m sure everyone will be on the edge of their seat until then!Report
If you’ve not seen it yet, you might need to work on this StopBadWare group here, it says you’ll need to request a review to get the site marked ‘clean’ once you’ve fixed whatever was causing the reports. Sounds an awful lot like a protection racket, but it appears to be on the up and up from what I can see.

They give some suggestions here on what might be the cause.

E.D., the same thing happened over at PoMoCon a couple of weeks ago. Email Joe Carter, he can help you.Report
Since the topic is site issues – why are some comments delayed “awaiting moderation”?
Boo-hiss.Report
@Bob, I think that’s something that happens when you include a link in your post. That’s when my own comments have been moderated.Report
Might the trackbacks have something to do with it?
In theory, I mean.Report
Well, Firefox has stopped finally stopped flagging The League as an attack site, so that’s progress.Report
I just noticed that Google is now letting me in without the hassle.Report
@Rufus, Rufus – go ahead and post. Just keep an eye out for weird code in your posts. I’m not even sure at this point if it was our site at all. It may have been another site on the server.Report
