Admins: stopforumspam plug in


Recommended Posts

If one of you has access to install this plug in, it will be very helpful:

I'm an admin of the Starion/Conquest forum (we also use ipboard) and got tired of weeding out spammers manually, and this stops them automatically before even getting to the member list.

 

It uses a database at stopforumspam.com that's updated regularly.

Especially after the old school porn topic from that bot earlier! I was on a forum a couple of years ago that the dude running it let spam bots take it over. Eventually it got so bad everyone quit coming around. Site is dead now.

Lawlz.

 

good link Robert, thanksweve been pretty effective at cutting it down lately but every bit helps.lol cut out a lot of work when we blocked all .ru email addys :rofl:
We actually had a legit member trying to register from Russia, he was denied because of his Russian IP lol. I later discovered a Russian Starion forum, and saw his plight of something like the US hates USSR. Seeing that the cold war was over(in the eyes of the public[lol]) I let him in.

 

Within a week of installing that plug in we blocked 3000+ spammer registration attempts. Never even knew we were getting bombarded like that, as only one or two a week were able to answer my challenge question and show up on radar. Our registrations then had to be admin (only two of us) approved one by one checking ip's and email addys... and man was that tedious but it prevented spammers getting in at all. I'm guessing you guys might have quite a few dormant "sleeper" accounts for the spammers, just like sleeper accounts for trolls lol... when one gets banned they use the other account.

 

If only there was a plugin for banned sociopath trolls trying to get back in... wait I think they've migrated to Ratsun... lol.

They no let back here.

 

Oh they come back around and maintain a low profile. Ocassionally Ghettobraden will blow a gasket and get his latest login, email and IP banned.

 

Funny how they will talk shit, get banned and then still come back here.

 

We are pretty laid back here as mods, you have to be pretty much asking to get banned.
