Your comments are getting spammed to shit

Studley · May 19th, 2006, 17:19

If you check the Recent Comments on the news pages, there's some bot called "<random country> hotels" that's putting in loads of random spam trackbacks. Not sure if you log IPs for these, but you might want to block the IP/range before it gets too troublesome

Curry · May 19th, 2006, 17:23

Yeah somebody mentioned our URL on spammersinternational.com forums or something, we've been getting continuous runs for a few days now. Consider it solved, thanks for reporting

I've already blocked a bunch of IP-ranges today, but if this continues we'll probably be having more severe anti-spam measures soon

And I don't want to hide comments behind a login.

And what about the one you're dating?

jrichar3 · May 20th, 2006, 02:07

Just found this on digg.com thought it might help

http://www.spamcannibal.org/cannibal.cgi

it rerouts small packetts to the spam server, over and over, there by slowing or killing the spam server.

Curry · May 20th, 2006, 03:43

Yeah well I'm not at war with the spammers, they're usually just stupid guys unable to protect their system. Gives me all the more work to do though, just caught another spam run

Bitches kept spamming with different runs every few hours, so just added some *HARD* anti-spam measures.

cybermans · May 20th, 2006, 20:08

spammers in the wiki get also more irritating every day. Most of them is already stopped but we keep working to block their spam.

Curry · May 20th, 2006, 21:07

When the frontpage remains spam-free now, I can have a look at protecting the Wiki similarly.

E2K · May 21st, 2006, 13:45

Whaha, when i read the topic title, i though you wre talking about me

nevermind..

Aift · May 22nd, 2006, 04:14

Emily.

So now I am not you're hero anymore? I mean, so what we had the other night is just gone to waste, now? Okay, I see, you used me. God I wish I weren't so extremely attractive. God you women are so selfish, you use us men like we are just fresh meat. You have broken my heart.

I hope you're happy!

You and i have been finished for quite some time. Our rendevous the other night was a one night ONLY deal, you knew that "going in" to the deal

I used you, so be it, but it was pretty damn hot, no?

I heart you anyway

Loving myself... not a single spam run since I took these rigid steps

cybermans · May 23rd, 2006, 12:06

Who did and why didn't I hear about it despite the "please contact the site admins if this is not correct" line in that message?

It should only be possible to get that message if you leave an article page open for 12 hours before typing a comment.

Curry · May 23rd, 2006, 12:48

Or they could be getting another message actually: we've always blocked comments from open and insecure proxies. When in doubt about that, visit this page: http://www.ipcraft.com/checkmyhost

Don't confuse advertising with spam

Curry · June 2nd, 2006, 02:18

Experimenting with some different ways of advertising. And erm I'm first to listen to the users as far as advertising is concerned (I'm not blocking tuns of SmileyCentral and well-paying popups and real spam ads because I hate income) but aren't you a tiny bit overreacting to exactly 2 dark red words on the whole frontpage?
