Description of my issue: Not an issue.  Just to say thank you for your post #11680 – Reason: tmpl= in URL when using IE6.  

Having just installed a new J3.0 website with a Rockettheme template a couple of days ago, I was suddenly inundated with a host of security exception emails with:

Reason: tmpl= in URL

- all from the same IP address.  I scratched my head but the emails were pouring in. So firstly I went and blocked the IP address as recommended in the security exception email.  Then I found the above mentioned post.  I checked my security exceptions log, and the target url was "http://mydomain.com/?tmpl=unsupported" , so I have added "unsupported" to the allowable list.  I have since unblocked the IP address, but I suppose that whoever it was got the "You are a spammer, hacker or an otherwise bad person" message (?).  I feel sorry for the person, as he (or she) was on a "have you been arrested for DUI?" website, so he has really had a bad day :(

Yes, they had a really bad day. Of coruse, with IE6 they wouldn't be able to see your site anyway, so we can safely say that their day got from just plain crappy to really effin' bad.
