actually he was talking about the 20 spambots i banned in a row
|
ive banned more than that but they dont show up in the crimelab because i'm doing preemptives based on username (APOLOGIES FOR ANY LEGITIMATE USER WITH "CIALIS" IN THEIR NAME)
|
i cross reference using databases of known spambots and will preemptively ban from that.
|
i think we should change the 'new user' avatar to a colorful 'PLZ BUY MY CRAP' avatar
|
I'm for it, and will vote for you as mayor of i-mockery if you make it so

He's already judge, jury, and executioner.
Well, maybe not executioner, that might be willie. |
Can this thread also be used to report trolls? If so I have a quote from one below

Taken care of.

I think this may be a new spambot, he hasn't spammed yet, but I expect he will with all those numbers in his name

QUESTION FOR THE ADMINS WHO IGNORE THIS THREAD ANYWAY:
Does there exist some sort of setting that can automatically delete all the posts/threads of someone when you check the "Spammed Advertisements" ban option? |
I don't think so, but you can just go to their profile and check all their posts from there and delete them. It's much faster.
|
That's how I do it, but the whole infraction/ban/delete/hard delete process gets tedious after you do it eighty thousand times :(
|
well i wouldn't want it to be automatic on all spammed advertisements bans but yeah that sounds pretty helpful
edit: although i guess if you wanted to have more control you could just do a custom infraction :/ |
I do things that way on the forum for my blog, too MLE.
|
That's the way I've been doing it.
I looked into some option for preventing newly registered users from posting links of any kind, but I don't think the board has that capability. |
i see no reason there couldn't be some sort of plugin for that
|
I feel like we should not delete spam bots nor their posts. Just transfer them all to this thread with them quoting each other. Then have death fights.
|
that's a gribble of an idea
|
i'd rather not help them boost their google ranking, as we did for pram maven.

So yeah, for now, just deleting their posts and banning or deleting their accounts is the way to go. I particularly like finding one just as they're registering and then deleting the account as soon as they're finished and about to make a post. |
