Public spam domain blocklist

[no_Steam]

Can you make TPB spam domain blocklist public? Every now and then I can't post a comment because of a banned domain, such as youtube.com or discogs.com. My VPN IPs have been banned and it's always unclear what is causing the "database error".

No, never. Spammers and other ne'er-do-wells would use it to checklist bad URL's before flooding TPB with spam comments etc. The list changes constantly anyway as crew add new domains, and remove banned ones. Like it says in the database error thread, if the comment doesn't show it's because part or all of the comment matches a spam string, or, your IP is banned. If you can't even leave a simple 'thanks' or 'ok' comment, then your IP is likely the culprit.

I could do so, but I avoid cluttering comments threads. There's often important information in comments, especially in high quality video torrents. Currently deleting comments doesn't appear to be possible.

When requesting a domain removal, should I do it privately in my account issues thread?

You are being disingenuous: more torrents than not have no comments whatsoever (and no uploader prefers being totally ignored to being thanked).

You can request domain removal in either account issues or site issues. If it's your own private domain, the former is probably more appropriate. If it's a general domain, the latter.
