Why are we getting spammed out the ass of late?

Who's on report?

Spexxvet · 08-15-2012, 01:50 PM

Sorry, I was pornsurfing again.

Undertoad · 08-15-2012, 01:58 PM

Really hard to say. In the past it has meant that they have worked out how to automate getting past the CAPTCHA.

Spammers like to target those who claim to be people of wealth and taste but don't lay claim to intelligence.

Would it work, right ...
to use cellar posts to create a duplicate site, cellar II.
And then allow spambots free access to that site, where they could post but their posts wouldn't show up here, in the real cellar.
And then sell advertising space on the duplicate site, and use the huge number of spambots to claim millions of hits per day, and thus get enough to run the real cellar as well.

This is now officially ridiculous, and I've changed the setup so new users can't start new threads.

Sundae · 08-16-2012, 12:13 PM

I thought that was always the case?

Undertoad · 08-17-2012, 10:51 AM

No, since new users have to post in order to get accepted I thought it was important that they be able to post any way they like. The rules for registration are already too complicated.

Not sure what to do now. We may have to upgrade (shiver)

If you need to deputize more moderators during the meanwhile, I nominate Merc and Ibby.

Over 50 spam accounts have been created in the last 24 hours. We are under attack.

I have been collecting the IP addresses and slowly banning spamming countries. We simply can't accept users from China or Latvia or Pakistan or Russia any longer.

Too bad, I would have liked a Russian perspective on the punk girls.

Way to go Undertoad! THAT ought to teach them not veto our UN Security Council draft resolutions. Now, keep an eye on that Assange debacle. If he gets away, you may have to teach the UK a lesson too!

Hey, it's you Merkins who want to kill him, not us!
Ban yourselves

infinite monkey · 08-20-2012, 07:23 AM

Wow Tony...what a mess. Everytime I look at 'who's online' there are three or four more dubious accounts registering.

GO AWAY ROBOTOIDS!
