Just a way to block some bad redirection sites on Google Mail.

That should do it!
If these sites are based on reputations according to ratings from WOT,
than I’m certainly not interested.
Much more efficient and simple way is to block it with the HOSTS file.
See
Blocking Unwanted Parasites with a Hosts Filehttp://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm
What it does …
The Hosts file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. This file is loaded into memory (cache) at startup, then Windows checks the Hosts file before it queries any DNS servers, which enables it to override addresses in the DNS. This prevents access to the listed sites by redirecting any connection attempts back to the local (your) machine. Another feature of the HOSTS file is its ability to block other applications from connecting to the Internet, providing the entry exists.
There is no place like 127.0.0.1
That’s why I use hpHosts and MVPS HOSTS files managed by HostsMan.
I agree with bob3160 as WOT is user rating biased!
Then what’s the point of UrlVoid?
STOP using those hosts files which redirect sites to 127.0.0.1, Ken, imangine if your comp runs a server - it’d be pretty weird then. Use 0.0.0.0. Also, if you don’t like WOT - don’t post in WOT related threads.
Please read
You should take in mind that even if a site is listed as clean by all scanning engines, it is NOT guaranteed the harmlessness of the website analyzed.http://www.urlvoid.com/about-us

I am not running a Server and just a Home user that knows how to protect my systems and I believe this is a thread about WOT! 8)
Topic: Google Mail - Block SOME Bad Reputation Sites (WOT) with Ad Block Plus
Uh, yes, it is. Then, if you hate WOT, why post telling about it in a WOT-related thread? And, if you aren’t running a server, doesn’t mean others don’t.
I feel you are getting into an ad hominem debate:

As you use Fedora and not Windows I think you should stick to Linux forums.
Uh, no, not at all. What I mean is… Okay, imangine the following. I post a thread called “How to fix an exploit that came with recent update in Microsoft Windows 7.” and you reply with something like “Why use Windows anyway, OS X rocks!”… my point, in general, is – you people go around telling WOT sucks, whereas he just provides you with a way to block certain ads…
As for me using Fedora, well, actually, by now - openSuSE, I use it alongside with winxp. read the sig completely, dammit.

Before this topic continues on this slippery slope, maybe it’s time to read the following:

There are ;D
when I type 127.0.0.1, 127.0.0.2, 127.0.0.3… different web sites comes up ;D , those sites that I’m working on locally before upload to server 
I prefer 0.0.0.0, and like you I use HostsMan 
Unable to connect
Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
MGAULOL. Let me explain. 127.0.0.1 is so-called “localhost”. It’s an IP which points to your computer. If you have no server running, no pages will load Try this in the terminal: “ping 127.0.0.1”. You’ll see ping succeeds, so the place exists.
I also use HostsServer that is part of HostsMan package as a browser speedup proxy with its logging capability to show the HOSTS file’s effect by selecting Enable log and Log referrer and select message in Server tab On site blocked, display:
