A blog reader just emailed me saying that my blog is blocked by KEMS. Can anyone confirm that?
Update: It seems this isn’t true, my site isn’t blocked with KEMS. Must be a fluke?
Update2: The error message the blog reader is getting is
This site is blocked according to the goverment filtering policy. If you feel this page has been blocked in errors kindly fill out the form and we will investigate thank you.
Very strange, is this because I said the bollards were ugly?
Update3: My site is now no longer blocked on KEMS.

I am getting messages that KEMS has blocked this site. I am dissapointed to hear this and I will get to the bottom of this.
I have Fastelco and I can see this blog.
Maybe that’s an omen to switch to Fast Mark.
Mark – check this out.. I don’t know if this is the same reader, but a reader says that your blog is blocked too..

Mark, your blog works on KEMS and loads just fine. Maybe the filter blocked a particular post, I do see some visitors using mild to heavy profanity while commenting on here. So, did Qualitynet fix your connection yet? =) or you changed the DNS? Funny when you say your site loads slowly on your Mac. cause other Kuwait blog sites are much slower than yours, including the saving of comments feature. Hope your internet issues get resolved.
guys there are something wrong …..
http://www.flickr.com … is also blocked on KEMS ??!!
LOL .. must be something wrong LOL
Quick, post about how much you like Kuwait! =O
Yes, it was Blocked thru KEMS last nite around 11pm. I tried several times and got the blocked message.
I use KEMS and to this moment it IS blocked!!
Yup, its blocked… I’m only posting this because I have VIVA as my alternate internet.
BLOCKED OR NOT ???
a coomment saying blocked, and the next one is not.
another one bites the dust.
Hey Mark,
seems like Kems have blocked you. since yesterday night i can not access it.
Mark,
1. Please check the ratings of any of your website contents.
2. Sometimes, it could be because of the Anti Virus Scanner at the KEMS site.
3. Also depends on the user’s browser settings;
There is nothing that you have said offending. In fact, apart from your adverts, I find most of your stuff very useful.
Not to worry mate.
Its a temporary problem with KEMS and its not just my blog but other websites are showing up blocked like Flickr. Should be resolved soon.
Yes its true and i have faced it myself this morning… infact i wanted to check whether i was the lucky guy for the second giveaway and i couldn’t get on to the site. Its blocked.
Hey Mark, I am on Kems, and I check out your blog every single day without a problem. Kems loves you, and so do we…
your blog isn’t blocked any more, but flickr still is..
live again
I can confirm!! I tried it from home (I have Zajil – KEMS) and it was blocked! Now I am at work and its not blocked!

Well this is a one off thing. Various famous sites were blocked yesterday at around the same time. I could read the feeds through Greader so there was no issue. Interestingly google and it’s apps were not blocked. Imdb/248/flickr etc were blocked.. So I guess it was some temporary outage. But it’s resolved today and all is fair again in Kems land.
