He's back, same a$&@hole, different username.

They are definitely persistent. I banned the IP address of the first spammer, and the second one is a different IP. Banned, deleted and wiped also.

TorxKiwi 路

What a pain in the arse. Especially when it creates work for a volunteer administration.

I just got rid of 15 posts he has made. Should all be good now for a little while.

What's the point? what do these magots get out of this shit.

Shuffs 路

And yet another.I think you'll find it's all the same person using different IP adresses.It's how they try to make a living,introducing a pile of Spam Bots to a forum,then activating them at their convenience.They either pick a key word or just spam a set number of the most recent posts.I think Joel has the right solution to combat this sort of an attack,and that is to have the first five posts of a new member to be approved by a moderator before it is posted.This will nip it in the bud pronto!

how do they make money off them??

They are trying to get you to go to that web site.Our spammer in question probably approached that web site and stated he/she could increase their traffic.When you click on the link provided,as well as taking you to the site,it also activates a counter,which our spammer keeps tally of.After a period of time,he/she will contact the web site owner with his tally count,and receive his/her ill gotten gains.People do click on these links(mainly out of curiosity) and spammer gets the credit.Unfortunately for spammer,the links were dead (going to said web site through your own search engine means no credit for spammer) and members here would sooner spend their hard earned on their VW's.He/she will be back!Here endeth the lesson.

Is there a Captcha key for registration? Maybe add one of those or even a Question like other websites have eg:

How many cylinders in a type one?
or
Veedubbers refers to which vehicle following ? VW

etc..

Seems to keep them out of most forums i use.

How many paint colours are in Lee's engine bay should stop them in their tracks.

And back again....
This is getting rediculous.

I'm waiting for one of their posts to be in this thread just to add insult to injury.

vanderaj 路

There is a captcha here, so someone has worked out how it works. I'll implement Recaptcha and see if that helps.

In the meantime, I've banned three suspicious users, and an entire class B:
mysql> select username from ubb_members where regip like '117.65.%';
+--------------+
| username     |
+--------------+
| ypbuyphones  |
| opstophejimc |
| chinchjoie   |
+--------------+
So that entire class B is now banned. Will not stop someone who really wants to try.

thanks,
Andrew

vanderaj 路

I've changed up the captcha settings and required e-mail verification, which will block the latest batch.

However, it will most likely stop stupid mail hosters who insist on dumb ass SPF verification, too, like Hotmail and Yahoo 7.

reCaptcha requires a bit of a change, and will take me a few hours to get it right.

thanks,
Andrew

So the couple I saw joined on the 14th of this month.I dare say Spammer would have planted them all around this date.Has anyone had a look for new members with gobbldegook names that have joined around this time?

dubster 路

Joel 路

There's a couple there that have been spotted and their posts deleted but not banned.

Lets have a witch hunt!IELIENTAMI joined on the 12th April.No posts yet,just sitting.....waiting.....馃シ

vanderaj 路

I've banned the following users, and blocked their registration IPs:

danielshun
CHENAN
ypbuyphones
wsgowskimary
ngjongrick
chinchjoie
negownevening

All of the registrations look to be manually processed over a two year period, and they are related to a particular e-mail domain.

thanks,
Andrew

It's unfortunate that all this tom-foolery has created a lot of extra work [which I'm sure you didn't need]. Thank you for taking the time to sort it out, Andrew.

Cheers, Greg
