Bear with me everyone
We are being inundated with spam users and posts. I have deleted about six threads this morning and banned over a dozen user accounts. I literally got done with that to find two more threads that were completely spam.
I am trying to get in contact with the site owner and will keep you guys up to date. |
spammers...........rock.
There's not a LOT that can be done other than to kill it, ban, etc. They always find a way back in..... |
I figured that. I'm just hoping this recent flood will stop if I stay on top of it.
|
Thanks for the effort Dave!
|
Gotta love spammers. I've also gotten several emails from my old Central Mopars account notifying me of log in attempts from someone else. I haven't been over there in a LONG time.

I asked Shaggy to take it down.....
|
I've deleted about 7 or so myself since the weekend. We're trying to do everything we can.
|
UGGGHH! The farking spam roaches are everywhere this morning! Time to gun up boys!
|
Well, the spammers were busy last night....
|
Kill them...kill them with fire! :)
|
I'm literally wiping them out as more register....
|
Spammers go home!
|
damn, they have 9 new threads of spam this morning.....
Might be time to lock down some of the new user registrations.... |
There's got to be a better way of keeping them from registering.
|
I am just trying to sell my stolen Fendi purses!!! Sorry guys...
|
Cleaned up.. Once again
|
Yeah, I'm getting tired of this shit very quickly. Now we've moved on to the spammers that just copy and paste old posts.
|
Yeah, is there any way to suspend registration for awhile and ban all the spam accounts?
|
Do they not have to type in a cryptic code or jump through any other hoops to register?
|
We tried to get something like that set up but obviously whatever the admin setup hasn't worked.
|
do you guys ban any IP strings? On another site we ban whole strings of IPs based on country of origin...just best to go ahead and ban anything within a few thousand miles of China.
|
Or set it up to where the person has to be approved by a moderator or admin before they can post.
|
I am working on a couple of things but, to be honest I have no support from the owner/other admin and am trying to figure out a couple of things on Vbulletin. I will be banning all the Russian, Chinese, etc IP addresses. If we continue to have problems, I will move it to Admin permission required to register.
I apologize for all of the problems. Between work, school, and home, this is falling further and further down my list of priorities. That is not to say I am leaving you guys to deal with it, just that I am trying to find time to fix this. |
David, a few spammer posts aren't going to kill our enthusiasm for the site. We can read around the bullshit! :D
|
I am more irritated now than when I posted that...apparently the owner has not given me "SuperAdmin" permissions so I cannot access the necessary options to ban IP strings or limit user registrations....and now I play the waiting game.

Well, now that I've had higher authority as far as site administration for a week or so, it looks like we are finally getting a handle on the spam. I love being able to ban entire IP strings.
|
Damn I was trying to buy some jerseys and handbags....
|
Yay, Super Dave!
:chewie: |
