Due do amount of spam coming from India we hardly decided to ban this country for good. We took this decision not only because adverts from this country are 99% spam, but also because there is a very very low commercial benefit from having them as visitors. It’s a waste of bandwidth and time for moderation to allow visitors from this country on our website.

The other 2 countries are Nigeria and Cameroon. The posters from these African countries are prolific scammers and we also decided to ban them forever.

Last, but not least, Pakistan stays banned and we renewed the IP ranges for a better filtering.

The next countries on the black list are China, Indonesia, Malaysia and South Africa.

We remind you AdsFarm is a classified ads website United Kingdom and Ireland targeted.

Latest edit (27.11.2009): India is allowed again. It seems that our search engine traffic significantly decreased after we banned this country. Anyway, we improve our antispam filter everyday.

Also, blacklisted countries are India, Nigeria and Cameroon. They will probably be banned as well if they don’t stop spamming.

We apologize for any inconvenience,

AdsFarm Staff.
