actually he was talking about the 20 spambots i banned in a row

executioneer Nov 28th, 2010 09:24 PM

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)

MLE Nov 28th, 2010 09:35 PM

i cross reference using databases of known spambots and will preemptively ban from that.

Chojin Nov 29th, 2010 04:32 PM

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

MLE Dec 1st, 2010 07:38 PM

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

WISH I COULD STILL HELP OUT

Esuohlim Feb 13th, 2011 03:45 PM

MLE how are you doing that? :eek

MLE Feb 13th, 2011 05:56 PM

majick

MLE Feb 13th, 2011 05:59 PM

that's why i'm chief of police, son

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?

MLE Apr 10th, 2011 03:33 PM

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.

Esuohlim Apr 10th, 2011 03:36 PM

That's how I do it, but the whole infraction/ban/delete/hard delete process gets tedious after you do it eighty thousand times :(

executioneer Apr 10th, 2011 06:58 PM

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.

Dr. Boogie Apr 13th, 2011 05:01 PM

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.

executioneer Apr 13th, 2011 07:24 PM

i see no reason there couldn't be some sort of plugin for that

10,000 Volt Ghost Apr 14th, 2011 11:52 AM

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.

All Hail Duke Apr 14th, 2011 03:56 PM

that's a gribble of an idea

Chojin Apr 16th, 2011 09:27 AM

i'd rather not help them boost their google ranking, as we did for pram maven.

Yeah, I've scoured through all the forum settings for something like that, but no such luck. Happy to try a plugin if anybody knows of one... though we're using a pretty old version of the software now, so plugins like that may not even be compatible.

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.
