This is sort of off-topic, but I think it's still HN relevant and might be helpful.
The WOT (web-of-trust) plugin rates your site as untrustworthy. But the rating shows some crazy IP-based russian spam site from a year ago. I'm new to WOT so I don't understand--is this rating due to too-broad-a-wildcard in the system, or due to previous use of the site owner, or something else? (I'm hoping someone more familiar with WOT jumps in and explains what's going on here.)
In any case I rated it trustworthy on WOT so hopefully that percolates through the system eventually.
- maebert 13y agoEngineer @heyday here. Thanks for letting us know :) I think the evaluation is based on the previous owner / user of that IP address (it's hosted on S3, and IP addresses are kind of like relatives on your family's christmas get-together.) I submitted the site for re-evaluation though.
