The Sproose Goose is banned because its a startup with no content. Scrappers often use the fake startup scam to get past blocks. Unless the sproose goose actualy does fly. They will stay banned. Right now we do not know if this is a real company or a scraper.

Robot was caught following links it should not be able to see because its banned. Ony way it could be doing what its doing is if it were following google listings back to our site.
