Spambot PM's....BEWARE!!! Please report them here.....

[druid]

simple. IP ban

[shunut]

If their IPs are all the same. If each one has different IPs thats a lot of work for nothing.

[irishwarrior]

Also its easy enough to set up a dynamic IP.

I wouldn't exactly say that...

If Lady Admin is address __.___.___ and just her name gets banned, their bot generators just make new names from that address. Banning the address eliminates that possibility all together and prevents future attacks.

If we get attacks for the same IP address multiple times, then we ban that IP. So far from the PM spam we have gotten, none of the IPs have been close to being the same. You figure the people who set this stuff up are smart, so they can very easily setup rolling IPs.

No need for IP talk....

Now lesee.....since all members are screened, the person who's doing the screening either isn't doing his/her job, hasn't the sense to deny any prospective that has Admin or Lady or reasonable facsimile in their nick or is rolling with it just for something to do. Haaaaa Haaaaaaa!!!! -

Hey there, don't look at meh -
