[sysops] 40 Meter Spots
by Rudy Bakalov 10 Jan '26

Is there a definition of what makes an IP bad, what are the consequences of being labeled as bad, and the full lifecycle (getting added to the list, TTL, appeal process, etc.). It is worth noting that there are billions of people in the world that must use torrent or VPN exit nodes. What makes them bad spotters solely based on the use of privacy type of proxies?
