17thfabn Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 (edited) Tank Net listed as a deceptive site. When I go to log on Tank Net a red screen comes up saying deceptive site ahead. To log on I have to click on that I want to visit this potentially dangerous site. What is the issue? Edited December 5, 2018 by 17thfabn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonJ Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 A lot of MSM narrative busting takes place here. So Google was assigned to label the site as "deceptive". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also on armchair general forums. They have a much more active politics forum. Lots of bashing of the media on there. I've never had this type of problem on there. I can't remember exactly when it started, seems like a year ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the site owners are aware andtried to address but to of no avail I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shep854 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 IIRC, we were attacked by bots and somehow got listed as a 'risky' site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toysoldier Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 There's a company that sells and maintain high end tanks for liquor storage and manufacture and their online support software is called of course Tanknet. I suspect they are somehow behind this issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ssnake Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Tank Net listed as a deceptive site. When I go to log on Tank Net a red screen comes up saying deceptive site ahead. To log on I have to click on that I want to visit this potentially dangerous site. What is the issue? The issue is that the Tank-net.com domain still doesn't use SSL encryption.Applying that would make the warning go away. Alternatively you can of course configure your browser to NOT transmit every URL that you want to surf to to Google first and ask for their approval rating (that "Google service to protect against malware and phishing", or the "address completion" in your browser's address bar, all of which transmit your web browsing activity to third parties that collect such data).

Our local library went through the same thing about a year ago. I was a little worried, there are a few characters on tank net who remind me of Dr. Evil.

DB Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 One of the things that chrome notes is that it's blocked ads as "the site tends to show intrusive ads" That's news to me, unless it's picking up all the old, broken photobucket links as intrusive ads, which would be a fair point.

CT96 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I regularly get a "blocked popup ad" marker while browsing the site. I've never seen what ad it's referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I wonder if thecommenht in the Whine Cellar about the link to the deceased domain of the forum skin is a contributor. If mobile users are using the mobile skin, they won't see this link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Niehorster Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Hmm, well TN was slow before, also. Dead links don't affect load speeds, as this particular link leads to an alternative (although not relevant) URL. Anyway, the slowness has happened in the past and then sppeded up again. Possible server(s) overload at certain times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
