Title: Discussionist.com BLOCKED on Govt. Networks
Post by: BadCat on November 05, 2014, 09:29:24 PM
To be fair, a lot of sites are blocked, what is funny is why DU JR. is blocked...

"possible harmful or malicious website".

This type of block is frequently put in because a site uses onerous tracking cookies, So, if you go to DU JR., make sure you clear your cookies after picking on the idiots.

Also note that the mothership (the DUmp) is NOT blocked.
Something fishy going on with DU JR.

By the way, several days ago, Skins removed the link to DU Jr. that used to be on top of every page of DU Sr.

DU mole trap.

It wouldn't be hard to crosscheck IP addresses from conservative posters at Discussionist to mole/trolls at DU.

Yes, but a cookie that allows the host site to read your computer's browsing history for other visited sites would raise a red flag on lots of systems.  It's easier than cross-checking visitor logs between two sites.

I think it depends on the network. DU is blocked here in Germany...as it was in Korea...but when I was in DC I could access it.
