Who reported this site as dangerous?

[Asterios]

So who are you?? You get reports from Microsoft saying a random person flagged this site as innapropriate? You're not making any sense at all.

I'm so lost, are you a Microsoft employee, or did someone walk by your desk, see you were on EB and report it to be blocked since you shouldn't be on at work.

never said I was a worker with microsoft, what I said is someone reported this site as being unsafe to microsoft, which microsoft along with google and bing and yahoo and so on and so on have reports of such filings or complaints about sites, one of the things my companies security software does is check these reports so when the site pops up a blue banner pops up warning me that a report has been made on this site.

but thats all its done is someone made a complaint to microsoft, if the site was truly dangerous I would not be able to access it myself since my companies security protocols will not allow it.

furthermore this is my home computer but since I do work at home my company has had its security protocols installed in the system they gave me.

so now is there anything else you wish to say to me, or vaguely insult me with?

I have also witnessed this. The whole site turned red and said how the site is dangerous and found a trojan and told me to go back to Internet Explorer. I have McAfee on my computer. That must be the answer perhaps?

[tedbeard]

Rather than go on some witch-hunt in search of evil traitors how about you try to determine what the issues are and work to resolve them like a mature responsible sysadmin? If there are no significant security or privacy issues won't they remove the warning?

Who did this and why are frankly, unimportant. For every imagined scenario of registered-member EB-hating psychopaths there could be a non-member security specialist with genuine concerns.

That said, if unsubstantiated complaints continue to be made over and over again, I'd agree you've got a psycho.

[Asterios]

well it seems the warning is becoming more apparent with others now, which the odd thing is so far there is no confirmed report of this site being dangerous, but somebody is reporting it as such, which is causing the continual warnings, was somebody banned from this site recently or?

Whoa, back the gravy train up. Nothing I said was an insult to you. I asked questions. As I posted above, I was honestly confused, and I mearly wanted to understand. You explained it very clearly after my post, thank you. I suggest you not be so quick to jump on people. I wanted to understand your situation to see if I could possibly help. I was unaware of these types of reports, and your original post was not very clear to me, I kind of got the impression that you worked for Microsoft and monitored these reports. A simple misunderstanding. Have a good day, and good lcuk with your issue.

It was just the way you typed it it sounded like who are you? why should we believe you? and yet if you read you would have also noticed someone else commented getting a red banner for this site before your post and another member after, as it goes something is up with this site or someone keeps sending in complaints on it.

I can see how that would have appeared that way, and I apologize for the misunderstanding. When I typed that, my intentions was to discover who you were as in where do you work, like your job title, because I was under the impression you worked for Microsoft, but then you said you weren't a programmer. Again, my mistake for not being clear, and I apologize.

What is "it" in this case? What program?

"it" is my computer and i have norton internet security 2010

well, I agree with that person! this site IS dangerous!

since the day I found this site for the first time, I started to slowly get out of the black tunnel I was in and my funds started to slowly decrease due to a growing addiction to lego.

nowadays I'm back in another tunnel and I must get my dose of eurobricks every day...

the admnistrator should make a popup warning saying this site is really addictive!

have a nice lego day

That type of warning would be nice.

[krystalKING]

A simple misunderstanding.Eurobricks did nothing like that with me.

EDIT: A warning would be nice.
