Like paying someone to manually validate every entry? Right... we barely break into double digits each month in donations....

If someone finds their IP number on the database, they can remove it themselves.

So far, Ive seen no one come and say "this IP is listed and shouldnt be, its Sun" - give me the IP and I can look into it but anything past that and I dont have the time to start scanning CIDR networks for something that might not even be there. You had the time to contact Sun but not stopforumspam?

I am in the process of coding a reputation system for inclusion in the results but as I code the website in my spare time, its slow progress.
