Dirty low down snake belly spammers

[Raja@ASUS]

I guess that did not do any good the scum suckers are still comming in like flies on a turd. Maybe if the register process is longer and harder to complete they will not think it's worth their time. ???

Actually it has cut the spam in half. Some still gets through and we will have to live with that for now. There are now more reported posts than spam posts I find. EG. 3 spammers had about 16 reported posts this morning. Compare that with two weeks ago we were waking up to about 20 spam accounts per morning.

If only there were a way to cost them more than they have to gain.
Maybe a dedicated server to bomb 'their' server with requests .. shut it down.
I know .. budget better spent elsewhere .. but gee what fun to give them the
taste of their own turds in their mouths...... fire at will.c.

could report them to their isp, but if it works no one knows.

Usually not because they've selected an ISP that is unresponsive or in a foreign country. Either that or they use zombies so the person you are reporting is just someone with an infected computer.

BTW make real forum members wait 60 seconds before they can report another spam kinda sucks.

I second that, it took extra time to report those cyber-criminals. Thankfully, now we just have the spam. And, no we should not make the registration process harder, as fewer new members will come.
