Got blacklisted for scraping on e-liquid-recipes???

submitted almost 7 years ago by A-LoneTree

Does anybody know who the site administrator is for ELR? For some reason I was blacklisted for scraping, which was a mistake because I don't even know what scraping is and I just used the site normally.

Do any of you have contact available, such as the email address of the site administrator. I would also appreciate any suggestions of how to get taken off of the blacklist, because this site is the keystone to my mixing.

That sucks, man. Funnily enough I actually do scrape ELR and have never been blacklisted for it. I have both ATF and ELR completely backed up with clickable links and all that I update once a week and I haven't gotten blacklisted. So many people take their recipes down.

preach it, brother! I'm still in the shallow end - only 17TB of storage so far, with about ~50% consumed :) I've always been of the "more is better than less" mentality, but Plex has sent me further down the path in the last couple of years.

/u/daath is around here sometimes but otherwise you might want to try ELR's forum.

I must admit it has been a while since I've been really social, but I try to drop in here once in a while :)

It is possible that OP got an IP-address that was previously used to scrape the site, and was blocked because of it. I can be contacted at "info" or "lars" at e-liquid-recipes.com :)

For the uninitiated, what is scraping?

Most commonly, setting up a bot to fetch every web page from a site and archive it. Frequently it's the first step in setting up a competing site optimized to generate ad revenue, usually accomplished by showing up higher in Google searches than the site that unwittingly provided all the content.

Sounds like some Wiliam Gibson style shit predicted back in the 90s.

Are you visiting through a VPN?

Are you using a VPN? Try connecting to a different server.

Try power-cycling your router to get a new IP address & see if that fixes the problem.

That may work, but it's not certain that that would generate a new IP.

It might though.

Take the opportunity to migrate to a better mix site.

And check that your browser isn't prefetching.

We must have all 12 recipe sites to scrape 1 good recipe :))

No. If you successfully completely scraped ELR you'd probably get a good recipe.

Finding it in all the trash, tho... That would be a real challenge.
