Zeo

When I first know the existence of this so called weblogs community, is when there’s a topic opened by someone at malaysiabloggers forum about weblogscenter.com.

Sorry to say but when I first visited the website; “OMG!” is the first word came out of my mouth. The color was not so cool and the loading is slow, obviously because lot’s of images being use by the theme. But what the heck, who am I to critisize.

Then few days later, Azmie ask me to join the same community. I told him the truth that the website is so “serabut”. Not wanting to let my friend down, and so I registered.

Most of the topics is about wordpress because the moderators and active user is using it. They even come out with few nice plugins and how-to. Reading and browsing all the topics sure is informative, funny and some also doesn’t make any sense.

And then one lovely day,

From the notice as you can see,

If you think this is a mistake you can contact the site webmaster at admin(at)weblogscenter(dot)com.

And so I did, but not through email but the site feedback forum. This is the reply from Sy41ful.

Hohoho.. Salam Zeo..
Sentinel tu memang sengaja aku pasang sebab itu lah “pak guard” site ni.. dan aku memang set tak allow proxy sebab aku nak scaning original user and visitors.
Sscript jugak memang tak leh post kat forum.. sebab script e.g. javascript boleh jerk dijadikan fungsi exploit untuk mengacau bilaukan site ni..
semalam, aku detect seorang guest dari Iran cuba nak hijack site ni.. dan sib baik aku can’t allow proxy connection dan aku dapat detect IP dia (maybe IP kat CC) dan aku dah pun wat report ngan ISP Provider tentang apa yang berlaku..
so kesimpulannya, sentinel sangat berguna walaupun sikit menyusahkan bagi sesetengah korang.. Hanya itu jerk setakat ni yang leh protect this site.

As you can see, NukeSentinel is part of protection modules that has over 30 security features that known to be lethal to PHP-NUKE.

Although it is good but sometimes this sort of thing can be quiet difficult for visitor to accept. This is not the first website I’ve encounter that implements such thing.

So what you guys think?
