Rip Snorter Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Have handled these attacks on another site. Difficulty is that it takes an Admin or Moderator online frequently, not actually all that hard to get rid of them. I believe there are measures that an Admin can set up on this platform to delay posts prior to approval, but separating genuine New folks from spammers is time consuming as well.

Dungannon Gunner Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 BTT, I will say it again. Keep it simple and let's nip it in the bud Classifieds should be limited access for members only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys are creating bot programs that are getting smarter. Every spammer we've banned all past the "test" upon registration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my first cup of coffee this morning and saw that you'd been hard at work with the ban hammer. I've been banning as fast as I can since then. I think they're going for a record!

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted May 25 Author Share Posted May 25 Can you tell what country these spammer post from? If you can, can you just do a blanket ban for that country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waimea Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Can I suggest (if possible) limiting new subscribers to 5 posts per day for the first month? Kind of a probation. This type of behavior drove me away from writing and maintaining websites for a living to making boolits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still hand Bill Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 One of the other forums I am on requires 10 posts and 1 month membership before one can post or reply to a post in the classifieds section. Helps keep the scammers at bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helps keep the scammers at bay. There have been a few scammers in the past, 44 Bang as an example that joined and posted on lots of subjects on the Wire and Saloon and once he looked legitimate he pulled his scam sales in the Classifieds. There have been others but I don’t recall their “aliases”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
