I have noticed some things happening recently that lead me to ask some questions.
1a. If you are subscribed to follow WUWT via email, where you get emails advising you of new posts, are you still getting those emails? For example, a notice of this post?
1b. If you aren’t receiving those emails, are they in your SPAM filter?
2. If you are subscribed to WUWT via RSS feed, are you still able to read it in the reader of your choice?
3. Are you getting any sorts of SPAM, phishing, or “unsafe” website notices for any links that might be embedded in those emails or feeds?
Please leave answers yes/no in comments.
The reason I ask is that WordPress recently flagged WUWT as a high traffic site, and added extra advertising, for which I get a few cents per click. But, at the same time I’m wondering if that has come with a penalty in the form of a raised SPAM score due to that extra advertising.
As always, thanks for visiting and thanks for your support. – Anthony

Emails and RSS n/a, as I prefer to travel by mouse. No apparent spam from giving you a genuine email address for commenting. All very civilised.
I am similar. No sign up, no emails, just open wuwt blog site via IE. No problems.
I get WUWT via RSS and it’s fine with no spam.
No problems.

RSS using Firefox smart bookmark. No problems. I don’t see ads and trackers are rejected (courtesy of Adblock Plus and Ghostery). I also view on my smart phone occasionally, and do see the ads when I use that.
2. Yes. I use Google Reader and it works fine in FF and Chrome.
3. I doubt it
I don’t subscribe to emails, but look (daily) using my Chromebook with Adblock. No problems at all (apart from argumentative commenters!).
NASA JSC has added you to their restricted sites list.
Google just blocked a simple query to another site, claiming that ?WUWT was open in another tab/window at the time but I doubt connected.
Certainly is malware about, alwasy morphing.
However IMJ Google is not producing top quality code.

I have been reading the RSS feed using Google Reader without problems for the past year or two. I haven’t noticed any significant changes.
