    I have a post for website auction in B/S/T.
    & I have come across a Spammer seemingly trying to promote hosting services.
    This guy is posted false links on my auction that suggested my website was down.

    I responded posting the actual link to my website, and he replies with a PNG screen shot image "Server Not Found" ERROR.

    I believe part of the 3 "likes" system was put in place to help prevent situations such as this.

    Posting false links and having spam links in a website auction I believe may have some negative effects on potential bidders.

    This guy shouldn't have access to B/S/T area.

    If you see something that violates our rules, use the "Report" option.

    Thanks, apparently something needs to be fixed on my end. Site shows up on my computers just fine so I didn't realize the problem. Trying to fix.

    The DNS is cached for you locally, I guess.

    Tried to adjust a few things. I believe it's up, but it's always been up for me so I won't know for sure until someone else tries.
