Spam PMs

Liberator · February 07, 2010, 10:03:41 AM

Looks like a friend of our spammer is just registering on the site

XandderrMan = Banned
RazzorrMan = Registering

And he also seems to be registering at hundreds of other forums this morning.

BanHammer please

Also an account called "ForumTeam" has just registered.

Seems we are being invaded!

Anyhow, the link is now dead, they scooped it out of the air. But maybe its a good thing to instal Avira Premium Security Fatdan. Tried the link yesterday on a different (old) computer, and it blocked it off immediatly warning me and gave me an oppertunity to back off silently lol (yeah I'm curious I know).

FYI this is nothing new. We get one or two of these spammers a day signing up. I've just banned two in the last couple of minutes. Fortunately we manage to get to them before they do any damage...... usually. XanderMann slipped the net. Sorry :sad:

Can we block this chump's IP address? We ought to forward the details to his ISP at the very least, assuming he's too thick to be using a proxy..

Gas up the Ban-O-Tron!

You guys have nothing to apologize for!! The admins do a fine job considering it's volunteer work..

I'd like to see you guys make it easier for yourselves is all.

Thanks Pete.

Now then ... any guesses to the next name that they'll register with to impress us that their PMs are genuine? SuperForumTeam maybe

Aah, but it had 0 post counts and 2 double consonants, so seemed similar to the other ones
