Site News: Sidereel issue update
Not long after I had posted the last entry about Sidereel they got back to me to apologise for the slow response and let me know they had blocked the URL(s) of the sites in question. I assume they also banned the main offender because I have not seen them since. Yay.
I wanted to wait a few days before mentioning it here so I could see what they did — I figured they’d maybe register new accounts, use a proxy, use redirect urls on their links, continue to remove other links regardless of no longer being able to post their own etc.
They are still posting their own links via redirect URLs, but they have stopped faffing about with everyone else’s links. So the problem is essentially solved.
Thanks to those of you who monitored the links and tried to help me out, and thanks to Sidereel for dealing with it

Why are you faffing about with SideReel any way? You know there are other sites that send 20x the amount of traffic sidereel does?
You have nice sites, useful sites, you can get traffic from many places without having to cheat and spam and abuse and spend god knows how long of your time updating/editing/removing links.
Why make yourselves and you sites look bad, by being dicks?
