PFL #1 Posted August 27, 2013 Just wondering if anyone has experience of viewing the forum from the Orient. I'm about to start a new job there and it's going to be at least 3 years. That's a long time with any Atariage! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albert #2 Posted August 27, 2013 Yes, it's viewable in China, although I've never validated a user signing up for an account with a Chinese IP address. Edit: That's not for a lack of trying on their part, it's just that every account that's signed up has been a spammer! ..Al Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Albert #5 Posted August 27, 2013 How do you know, Al? I manually validate all accounts, and one of the things I do is check the originating country's IP address. It's one of the only surefire ways to cut down on spammers getting through. ..Al Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Albert #7 Posted August 27, 2013 I've viewed and logged in from China - it works, Yeah, I don't have any blanket IP bans based on country of origin. ..Al Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemintronic #8 Posted August 27, 2013 I didn't even think of IP bans on our side. I thought he was worried about the great firewall of China. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albert #9 Posted August 27, 2013 I didn't even think of IP bans on our side. I thought he was worried about the great firewall of China. Given how many spammers sign up from China, I don't think this is an issue. ..Al Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Ransom #10 Posted August 27, 2013 It's viewable from China, but it's really really small at that distance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuck D. Head #11 Posted August 27, 2013 According to this test page, the storefront and forums are accessible from four different locations in China. (but I could not make a link above because the post editing tools are grayed out for some reason) Here is the link: http://www.websitepulse.com/help/testtools.china-test.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
