Spam from rotating IPs across a range of articles. Pretty much just a retail site (as the name implies), not a useful source. - MrOllie ( talk) 18:28, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

It says the reason for being blacklisted is because of "direct links to (the site's) online slots as "references" that the subject of the slot machine has been licensed for slots." Not sure who included this link but it is probably a rogue SEO agency who thought getting a link on Wikipedia using any means necessary was a good idea. That is an abuse of trust and will not be repeated. The website s not an online slots company, rather it reviews online slots and compares them to other slots. It offers all its games available for free. -- RBl1212 ( talk) 11:07, 12 December 2019 (UTC)RBl1212

I would like to add this article as a source to a new article I wrote about the IBM L40SX.
In the removal discussion here they say "Computer Business Review Online used to be a reasonable news source", and the article I want to cite is from 1993. So I would argue that it's a fine source. I don't need the whole domain to be unblocked, this single URL is fine. Streepjescode ( talk) 14:26, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
This has been spammed by several IP's on various pages, time to stop it. Ravensfire ( talk) 06:42, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

Slow-moving spam - additions of inappropriate links to cryptocurrency articles from random IPs, e.g. [12]. No current instances remaining, but I find myself removing one of these every couple of days, always from a different IP that has no other edits.
