This too

i know it's not likely to happen but for short term you could try blocking 58.253.* or 58.253.243.* and 58.253.246.* and 58.253.255.* since all the users we've ever had from those IP ranges are these dvd rip software spam guys

there's another, 58.253.243.177

Oh, I tried that argument before.

The problem is that even though those particular ranges include mostly spammers (or all spammers), we haven't banned them yet on the off chance that a real user might show up therein.

well the three-octet ones have gone thru before, so that could still work maybe?

i bet if you put the question "are you human?" with an empty form only accepting the answer "yes" that would work :3

So... then they become human simply by answering 'yes'? :\

works for mexicans.

hahahahahaha :<

YOU SHOULD MAKE IT SO THAT THEY HAVE TO PLAY FLASH GAMES AND SCORE A CERtAIN SCORE :O

That could actually work. :eek

this would also keep the furries out

I'm for it!

someone ban 89.149.244.88, i REALLY hate the spambots that send you PMs and there's been three from that IP :(

Honestly I am leaning more and more toward the policy of if you have the default new user avatar you get banned automatically for posting in the fourms :P

problem with that is, a lot of the newer bots are actually putting non-default avatars :(

And those 3 are sending and link to a virus.

:lol
report them to the FBI or some shit

k.

I just received a PM from a spambot with a custom avatar. They're learning!


Also, one of the admin powers is that you can delete all the PMs a person has ever sent, assuming they haven't already been deleted. So if you are wanting to report a spam PM you've received, but it disappears suddenly, that's why.

If you've read the messages, I can pull them out of your brain and replace them with thoughts about how much you love the Doc Mock show.

lol powerleveling345s :O

too bad there's no way to report people or some shit before they can spam it up

One of the last ones banned had his time zone set for Kaliningrad, South Africa.

Might want to look into ximike0119. No posts yet but he's set off all my red flags from what I have looked at thus far.
