I was pretty sure it was the ice_poseidon guy who is causing us all this trouble, and today I saw this: https://ip2network.win/p/Gv1d4X9M/ice-made-it-clear-days-ago-he-wa/c/

He has the linode acceptable use policy page in his bookmark bar, right next to the cloudflare abuse report link, also bookmarked in his toolbar. That basically completely confirms it's him doing the attacks.

oh wow. well I certainly hope this doesn't happen in the future with another sub.

I told the server company we removed /s/ice_poseidon2 and all related subs as per our agreement. And then it's been an hour and they didn't respond at all, which is weird for them. And so I just sent another message re-confirming that we have removed all the material as per our agreement, and it's been 15 mins and they still haven't responded.

The deadline is in about 3 hours. If linode does us real dirty they may not respond and just let it expire... so maybe we should prepare for that possibility. Make backups of everything right now please

okay. I'll turn off the IP2 redirect for a while too, so the host can see the ban message.

No wonder they weren't responding, I told them it would show a ban message. The fact we just linked forward shows we condone the content and now we look like fools to the server company and they may kick us out over it...

[–][deleted] 7 insightful - 3 fun7 insightful - 2 fun8 insightful - 3 fun -  (10 children)

It's off now. Sorry man I tried to get approval from you for this.

I thought you asked for a link in the ban message, and that's what I did basically. Anyway, what's done is done, hopefully linode sees the ban message now

I asked for 2 things. I should have told you when I did the redirect. I assumed you would notice. Anyway fuck today and DMCA this is so sad.

Just got this:

Hello,

Thank you for diligently working on this to meet the deadline. Before we can consider this issue resolved, can you clarify what the "ban page" looks like and what it's supposed to communicate to your users? Also, can you explain how you're hosting the redirect to the new website (e.g. server config, DNS, etc.)?

Without definitive proof that no redirects are hosted on [server company], we cannot consider this issue resolved. With your clarification, we may have a better understanding to proceed with a resolution to this issue.

We look forward to hearing back from you. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

Respectfully, [server company]

After getting this, I informed them we've fixed the ban message to be what was originally intended, and they're going to review it again and then hopefully we should be good.

Whoops I did sabotage it. And they do seem to care about the redirect. I guess I'll give up on that since the risk does not justify it.

[–]magnora7 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

No worries, it's changed back and we still have 2 hours. Yeah today fucking sucks and the DMCA system is beyond broken, could not agree more

Ok thanks for turning it off.

IP2 redirect? what? The ban message is the only thing that should be showing.

When did you turn on that on?

[–][deleted] 5 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

I have a cloud flare redirect in place, check it

[–][deleted] 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

I tuned it on 15m after the ban.
