Old posts with links to kaidomain have been blocked. I posted a new KD deal today that was deleted within minutes.
WHY??? KD is a source of many great deals!
Mods, please explain this because I think it sucks. Next thing you know dealextreme will be blocked too.
EDIT:
I was PM'd the following from a mod -
the reasons anyone gets blocked is
1) they spam us
2) they are scams
3) they block us.
i'm guessing they fall under #1.
I would like to know the actual reason rather than a guess. I don't think it's #1. I don't see all that many KD deals posted so I don't think they are spamming. I think I post more KD deals than anyone else and I am certainly not spamming on their behalf (or anyone else's behalf for that matter).
EDIT #2:
Actually, I think it may be reason #3. KD has had problems with DDOS attacks and every once in a while they implement a defense system where you have to click twice from their homepage to get into the website. They started doing this again recently (must've been attacked again) so maybe they are blocking links that bypass the homepage and go directly to the product page? If this is the case, hopefully SD will allow links to KD again when they stop blocking direct URL's.
I'm really just guessing so a definitive answer from the powers that be would be nice.
TIA!
