Question Blocked from Distro reviews!?

https://www.linuxquestions.org/reviews/index.php/cat/2


Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /reviews/index.php/cat/2 on this server.

Is this normal? One my be interested in exploring the reviews of different Distros prior to commiting to any specific build. Strikes me as rather odd to be FORBIDDEN for a new account.

What are the requirements for this to be removed?

Broke for me, too. Not about being new...probably about being defunct.

FYI this is still happening. https://www.linuxquestions.org/reviews/index.php/cat/2

Got to the link from the random action suggestions in the top right of the website, like "Help answer threads with 0 replies" etc.

Okay, so the short answer in written out words is "There is no more review section, only a tab in the menu bar"?

Is that what I'm reading above?

I've got the "check out distros" bug again and was just poking around.

thanks.

Whats extra weird is putting "review/s" in the search function and getting a database error. I suppose it's just a bad word here.
