Its my opinion that we are contributing freely to the advancement of 986 vehicles with many folks putting lots of personal time and effort into DIY articles and advice to support the vehicles.

If this site become anything but completely open, I think the whole thing will go sour.

I'm sure Pelican is benefiting from the ideas and developments on this site as well, and that's fine as long as its open.

Honestly, I myself buy parts from Pelican at least 50% of the time to purposely support the vendor that has provided the forum.

I can't imagine that starting to filter certain vendors is even necessary or profitable in any way, so i question whether its even being done on purpose.

Honestly I think the filtering is probably inadvertent as websites occasionally end up on black lists accidentally as the automatic alogarithms that do the blocking are not advanced enough to account for every situation.

Once your site ends up on a black list it takes a human to contact the listing agency to get yourself removed.

Lets not assume its done purposely and get riled up until we get confirmation. Security is being beefed up everywhere as we have been subject to some particularly nasty stuff in the past year.

I wonder if those specific strings got into the profanity/blacklist filter?
