I'm not sure where you saw that message, but I got this message via email
after I submitted an unblock request with Spectrum Shield:

We have reviewed your request to unblock validin.com. This site was not
found to be blocked by Spectrum Shield and should be accessible from your
browser.

Sigh.

I've cleaned up everything I could from that botched blocklist aggregation.
However, there's no correction process for Spectrum's DNS sinkhole, and I'm
not even sure that's how our domain got mixed up there. The support staff
I've spoken with have denied the existence of DNS sinkholing at Spectrum,
and demonstrated they lack the basic technical sophistication needed to
understand the concept.

Yeah, that's the problem. And given stuff like this link below, I wouldn't expect their legal department to be any better. Clearly there is someone somewhere who is competent because their network mostly works, but damned if I know how to find them.
