Msg to the unknown provider of regional flags
Dear
I have been a pro user for about a week. The collecting of flags at my own pace was going well, until this morning. For some reason I received an amount of new regional flags from mainly countries such as Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Belarus to such an extent this is not honest/trustworthy anymore.
My suspicion is that somebody added my flagcounter with regionals to some site or used proxies without any bad intentions just trying to help me. But I'd like to say that, in case my assumptions are right, this is not the way I want to collect flags ... and I do not appreciate your effort. To me it feels like betrayal and a waste of my pro subscription.
If I need help with collecting flag I'll ask for it, or if you want to help me please send me a msg asking for my permission.
I don't even want to know how this massive addition of regional flags happened or who did this. The situation just has to get back to normal asap.
In case my assumptions are incorrect, I'd like to apologize in advance.
Yours
Jdx3
P.S.: Please move this topic to the right section, since I didn't know exactly where to put this. Also feel free to disable replying if necessary.

Re: Msg to the unknown provider of regional flags
You have a visitor log. You can see where those flags are coming from.
251/251 countries and 3,860/3,860 flags collected.

Re: Msg to the unknown provider of regional flags
95% of the new regional flag arrived at:
Just to state my question:
Country / New regional flags first seven days / New regional flags last 10h
Russia / 10 / 70
Kazakhstan / 0 / 10
Ukraine / 5 / 26
Belarus / 1 / 6
If anyone can explain this rise, please.
P.S.: also the rise in visits from these countries is today already at least 10 to 15 times higher than normal.

Here's a screenshot to prove that.

This is indeed strange. It is possible to falsify the referrer, but I'm not sure why someone would be doing that.
Your counter is definitely not on the front page of this forum.

Things started around 6.00am Brussels time. The lines before six o'clock shows my normal number of visitors
