Steve Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 We've had a couple of spambots get on the site recently, but I've noticed them while they were in the process of posting stuff up and deleted/banned them. If you see any obvious spam (and no - spindoctor's posts do not count ), then please let me know in PM so I can deal with it. If it starts to become a bigger problem, I will have to change the site sign-up process to try and stop them getting in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 Some fucking CUNT from Pakistan keeps signing up here using names that end in 113 in order to try and spam the board. They have to be initially doing it manually too. If you're reading this - it will never work, so just give it up you dopey prick. It doesn't matter how many proxy servers you use. lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHouse Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 If spammers and hackers were hung up by their balls, in front of the whole world to see, this ish would stop over night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motek Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 i think we should ask some questions as part of the sign up process. I suggest: How many feathers are on a Purdue chicken?How many fibres are intertwined in a Shredded Wheat biscuit?What does Touche et Lele Pu mean?How many times did the Batmobile catch a flat? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericuk Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I recon that's a myth. DJ Craze would stand a much better chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 I think I've solved the spambot problem, but I might also have blocked any new members from signing up. It's hard to tell on DV, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 We had a whole bunch of them sign up today. Someone must be doing the sign up process manually. I'm looking into a better solution to stop them, but for now I'm manually approving new accounts. It's hard to tell sometimes if a new member is a spambot or not (until they post), so if a spambot does slip through the net, please let me know so I can get rid of it and its posts/threads. I've just bounced one out of here now that was posting up shit about buying cheap medicine. This ain't the USA motherfucker! We already get cheap medicine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I've always done registrations manually. The Invision spam features almost always autoban the spammers, and maybe get 2 genuine new members per year who write to say they can't get in.

Guest petesasqwax Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 made me chuckle to see them there for a second and then vanished the second after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 I've always done registrations manually. The Invision spam features almost always autoban the spammers, and maybe get 2 genuine new members per year who write to say they can't get in. Unfortunately, we don't have access to the Invision spam features at the moment. We have a perpetual license for the forum software, but you need an active support license to be able to use the spam features and ours expired some time ago. There seems to be no way to pay for just the spam service on its own, otherwise I would, just to save me some hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest petesasqwax Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 in my mind, spambots are not just programmes, they're the little robot things on the last of the prequel Star Wars films that climb over Anakin's ship and start taking it apart (I believe they're called "buzz droids") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
