XuQa

Most of #aber are on it now 🙁

Update

Got unblocked, Wispy is happy.

Update 09/03/2006: it’s blocked again!

People are complaining about I.S. in this matter. In fact, I.S. were told to block it, and resisted until they’d sought legal advice. Legal advice came in, citing real examples in UK law of liability being given to the carrier, so they really didn’t have a whole lot of choice.

Access DeniedFollowing a number of complaints about material being posted on the XuQaweb site, legal advice has been obtained. This has confirmed that a numberof the items are defamatory and that UWA would have a case to answer atlaw if they remained available via UWA services. As such access to XuQahas been blocked.

Crapy dating site, they moaned about being blocked from the UWA webcache, shigs lolled at them in his own special way via email. Students are up in arms about this, they should be thanking us instead. Stopping them wasting hours and hours writing shit about themselfs nobody wants to read, then going posting blogs and private messages to horny teenagers, again, about themselfs.

          I'm writing on behalf of XuQa.com, a social networking site that connects 400,000 students across 7500 campuses in the United States, UK and Canada. Our users have informed us that xuqa.com has been blocked by the univeristy network. I'm writing to clarify our position and to request this ban be reconsidered.      Two users (the IPs of whom we have logged) created fake accounts and went to SPAM other users in the univeristy. We were informed of this and immediately proceeded to deactivate their accounts and block their IPs. Since then we've kept a close watch out for other such abusers. The SPAM that occured as thus a result of users abusing the system and did NOT originate from our end. You may see our server logs for verification.      We are an established network that is VC funded (BV Capital, CA) and would never indulge in SPAM related activites. We are also certified by Habeas (a leading non-spam certification www.habeas.com). You may email BV Capital / Habeas to verify this information.      On behalf of XuQa, we request that this ban be removed. I can provide you emails of many users from your univeristy who want to access XuQa.com.    If you have any other questions, I would be delighted to assist. Best, Murtaza Director @ XuQa.com

Dear Murtaza,Unfortunately the decision has been made, we do not class 27,000 emails as "never indulgingin SPAM related activites" and do not take us for fools with regards to your spoofingactivities.If indeed these fake accounts were created by users then it brings up questions regardingyour account validation procedures, which we find woefully insecure. That aside we considerprofiteering from abuse of our facilities unacceptable and will not be considering liftingthe ban for the good of our students.All the best,Matthew
