Can't we just ban the IP address?

Well...

....
In other news, global mods now have the power to ban users, email domains & IP ranges.

I'm all for more mods if that means less of the spam.

I just killed off a few more accounts, I do that about every time I log in.

We don't need more mods right now, then it would just be more people doing the same thing. What we need is CAPTCHA, like Vi said. The best way to prevent spam is to stop it before it starts.

As I've said, I kill at least 20 of those things everyday.  But I can't be here 24/7

Meanwhile, thousands of forums away...


"Hey, lets go spam that forum, I'm sure they won't mind"


Could be worse, they could be trying to hack us...

A very dark premonition...

...would hate to log on one day and find the forum in flames. A sad day that would be...  Cry

Here's hoping someone jerkwad doesn't come around to perform said action!

It's not a person or another forum sending these things. It's an automation attacking more than just these forums. I can't believe I have to explain that to some of you.

Yes, but I, along with a few others are the only task force that can report these things, and have them eliminated. If the source were stopped, then the battle's only half-won. Then again, this sort of thing is kind of impossible.

Aren't there forums where after signing up, you need to wait for a moderator to approve your account before you can post? I'm sure I remember joining several forums with that feature. Wouldn't that annihilate most of the things?

A few that I'm on, got hacked a few days ago ... that person managed to guess the root admin's MSN secret question answer, send a password recovery to that email address and BAM, the forum was hacked ... but he failed, since he hacked while the admin was AWAKE

I know that, I was being sarcastic

Yeah, some forums use that to stop spam-bots from getting in ... I think this forum has that system, but it's not used, just in case nobody can moderate the new members

You could make one that looked like that, but instead it asked what is the name of ............? and then have like five alternatives or something
 
Example:
Who is the third one from the top?

Characters:                         Alternatives:
Speedy Cerviche                                     Big Al [ ]
Polly Esther                                    Guido [ ]
Guido Anchovy                        Sundance Kid [ ]
Francine                                   Speedy [ ]
Lucille                                        Polly [ ]
Seymour Cheese                              Guru Lou [ ]
