Spammers again!

RetroGamerUK · Post by **RetroGamerUK** » Mon Dec 25, 2006 9:27 pm

Although the new and improved anti-spammer thingies here seem to be working, meanwhile over at the secret atari forum http://atarilegend.com/pbpBB/viewtopic.php?p=395#395 Rebecca2467 seems to be spamming away there without any problems at all!
Not checked to see if any other spammers are vandalising this invaluable backup forum

Had forgotten about this forum. Doing my moderator duties now ..

Deleted the post by Whgrkwwz but I can't delete the members as not got that level of access.

Brume - I reckon the first 50 people on the joined by list (sorted in Descending order) can be removed as none have posted anything (or if they did, they've been deleted).

ok, will install asap some mods on this forum, too.
also i'll have probably to close the regular forum next week-end in order to update it to the latest version of phpbb.

Will be handy to have the backup forum at hand then, for all us who just can't wait a full weekend

Cleanup made on the secret forum...

The latest registered user on Atari Forum, sexo-por-cam is a spammer. Probably best to delete the accout before spam posts start appearing.

Thanks PaulB, it's done

You are welcome Brume. However the guy seems to have joined up again under the same name!

Post by **Brume** » Sat Sep 15, 2007 11:40 am

Dam spammer... Have deleted him once again. Also I banned his nick and the adress email he used.

Binned. And notified Silver Surfer about this soon-to-be-leaving as the door kicks their spambot arse on the way out' ex-forum member

Not something I got the power to do.

Just let me know in this thread .. don't reply to them as you'll be wasting a post as I'll delete any replies to it

I've notified Silver Surfer and he'll ban them.

I wonder what the IP address is...

PaulB · Post by **PaulB** » Sat Dec 22, 2007 1:44 pm

This is getting annoying now. Two more.

Desty if SS can find a single IP doing this then it's a simple matter of banning the ip from the forum administration centre.

If it's a range of ip's then I'd stick a deny from xx.xx.xx. in a htaccess file
There's always ban by http_referer too if it's the same referer passed every time.

I'm having a similar experience with my forum which is more of an annoyance than anything else. Referer spam... They mess up the apache logs.

A couple more spammers there - in case they were missed

The User Elmer_Bramwella09 is a spammer.

Tomchi · Post by **Tomchi** » Sat Dec 22, 2007 5:12 pm

PLEASE MODS , delete its post and ban it from the forum

That s**t is really boring

Post by **techie_alison** » Sat Dec 22, 2007 6:09 pm

It's not even good spam either. Just crap.

Brume. If you can give me Mod status I'll keep an eye on this. I pop in every few hours on most days.
