Sneaky spamming attacks and posting eligibility


Verve

Recommended Posts

Yeah, I agree, but I'm not the ones that have to do the work, so I guess it's not my place to say. Anyhow, Invision PowerBoard (which I reckon is really nice) is US$149... but then, no matter what the software is, someone has to invest the time to set it all up :) At least it's a once-off though...

Thanks for that walkie, but everyone, no need to report names of new members now unless they actually post stuff without the Admins noticing first... we will be checking each and every new "application" before activating their membership, so these suspicious tyes will not be getting through that easily anymore.

 

Last night i noticed that 3 of the new members each had unusual email domains, and when i checked the domains they were all identical, with no content... and all had been set up on the same day. Needless to say I deleted all 3 :wink:

 

Cheers, Dish.

Some good news for all. End of the month came and went... No bandwidth issues (fingers crossed) It appears this small hiccup of vetting new members via Admin is working.

 

BUT its at a cost. The amount of emails requesting new membership have been around the 250mark :shock: we seem to have about 50-60 new members. So it will remain until whos knows when...

 

 

 

Regards & Enjoy.

i know this issue has been touched on before, but if its such a work load, why don't u get one or two moderators to monitor spamming, new member registration etc - i mean to be honest, i hardly ever seen anymore admins on the forum anymore, and if they are, it is only for a short period of time - i'm sure there are a few guys out there willing to take up the moderator post :wink:

Thanks for the support, guys (brendans225). Its not about the workload its finding the time to moderate/admin. We have 6 Admins currently. We ALL share the workload, so it (the system) stays.

 

Its been great to not have any bandwidth issues/outrages especially now that the spamming bots are in check (although they do get through, from time to time)

 

 

 

Thanks again for your feedback.

interesting web page :D:D

 

Its time to go...

Thanks Tom (and all forum members)

 

Due to ALL new members being vetted we have had a significant decrease in spam.

Unfortunately we have not in spam bots etc. clogging our forum.

 

Bots are still able to register, but they at least cannot post.

Is this reporting done regularly? Might be an idea to let everyone know who's been denied access, and give a right of reply to those who may still be interested...?

Every now and then some members will post up suspected spammers that manage to get through.

 

The Admin team on the whole have taken this task of vetting each and every new member as they sign up. We get a standard email and cross reference with the Memberlist and delete appropriately.

 

There have been accidental deletings of some regular members and also some new one's too.

 

 

 

So no regular reporting since this sytem has been implemented. Inappropriate posting re gambling, porn etc. have been eliminated. We have hundreds of spammers/bots trawling.

 

Most importantly we have had NO bandwidth issues as in the past. We should all be grateful for that alone.

I don't know if this helps at all, but it's a post from a forum I'm a mod on:

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am reading a few threads on this problem on other forums it seems it is widespread.

 

 

http://www.webmasterworld.com/community ... 095569.htm

 

Maybe this would work

 

After removing the website field I was still getting about 20 bot signups a day so I started digging for something better...

 

On the forum for phpbb, I found out how to add a non-standard item to the registration page, it is a simple question, "are you a human", failure to answer yes causes the registration to fail. I did the update a couple days ago and thus far have seen no more bot signups...

Just a quick update to keep everyone informed: we have reverted to a view-only version for most areas of the site, as Google spiders etc have caused us to exceed our bandwidth allowance yet again.

 

This will mean that guests will be required to sign up in order to view threads, but may be able to see most topics at least.

Guests can only post replies in the For Sale section but can post new threads in the Wanted and Website Feedback sections.

 

We would appreciate being notifed if you see posts that are not legitimate of course!

 

Thanks :)

I thought I'd allow guests to post in case they were having issues logging in or if new members had issues in signing up.

 

Spammers will be easier to spot of course... Guests can only post in a couple of sections though, so it will be easier to monitor.

Why don't we implement something to stop this, rather than you guys constantly having to trawl thru and attempt to find fakes? Lots of things have been suggested so far. How about this one... it's easy to install, not too annoying for new (legit) users, it's free and it doesnt require maintenance.

buy phentermine is a drug primarily used as an folic appetite suppressant. Chemically, it is an amphetamine (and a phentermine). It is typically prescribed for individuals who are at increased medical risk because of their weight, as opposed to cosmetic weight loss. Phentermine is sold either as an immediate-release formulation (Adipex®) or as a slow-release resin (Ionamin®, Duromine® in Australia and New Zealand).

Phentermine, like many other prescription drugs kamagra, works with neurotransmitters in the brain kenalog . It is a centrally-acting ecstasy stimulant isosorbide and is a constitutional ionamin (not to be confused with imitrex) of ibuprofen . It stimulates neuron bundles to release a particular enalaprilgroup of neurotransmitters known as hyzaar ; these include flextra , flexeril (also known as fioricet ), and finasteride (no

radrenaline). The anorectic activity seen keflex with these compounds would thus ed trial pack and effexor seem likely due to this effect on the central nervous system elavil, which is consistent with current knowledge elocon about central nervous system systems and feeding behavior elidel. This is the same mechanism of action esgic as other stimulant appetite suppressants such as diethylpropion and esomeprazole. The estradiol signal a fight-or-flight response in the body which, in turn evista, puts a halt to the hunger evoxac. As a result, it causes a loss in

Generally, phentermine appears to be fosamax relatively well flomax It can produce side effects consistent with its flonase releasing properties, e.g., flovent, increased heart rate gemfibrozil, increased alertness, but the incidence fluconazole and magnitude of these appear to be less than flumadine with the fluoxetine.
