UltraByte - November 27, 2006 10:46 PM (GMT)
I found this article on another site I joined... They had it linked.
| QUOTE (InvisionFree) |
| InvisionFree has discovered the source of the software that has been recently used to spam so many of your boards. We will be taking steps to combat this software now that we know how it works. The first and most important steps to take are regarding e-mail validation. Enabling e-mail validation is one of the easiest and most effective ways to slow down the robots. After you enable e-mail validation, go to Admin CP > Ban Settings and ban the following e-mail address sets: * *@cashette.com * *@mail.ru * *@gawab.com * *@web.de This will prevent almost all spam from showing up on your board. InvisionFree will be investigating the signature behavior of this spambot software and you should see a marked improvement over the coming weeks. Our new software, ZetaBoards, includes powerful integrated spambot protection, far superior to that which is found in the IPB 1.3 software. In addition, new moderation tools make it easy to pin down troublesome accounts and remove their posts quickly. We are constantly working to make your board more secure. At InvisionFree, we want you to be able to concentrate on building your community, and let us handle the rest. |
So, now we shouldn't have Spam Bots. I already went in and blocked the above emails, so Admins, don't worry.
I am looking forward to a happy SpamBot-free future.

UltraByte - November 27, 2006 11:14 PM (GMT)
Hopefully... I really don't want to see more sex SpamBots. Going to High School is enough.

Can we... not use those sarcastic, idiotic pictures? I was glad to be rid of them when Ryan left...
SilentStrike - November 28, 2006 02:42 AM (GMT)

It looks like it's supposed to be sarcasm, but it's really a complement :D
SilentStrike - November 28, 2006 03:19 AM (GMT)
Right you are XD
Leo Leonardo - November 28, 2006 03:26 AM (GMT)
It's a miracle, and horray for antispam adds at the bottom of this topic!

Never will they cease ><
Leo Leonardo - November 28, 2006 03:38 AM (GMT)
And why the feck are the things about medical alerts and Starship Troopers? Is it just me?
SilentStrike - November 28, 2006 03:41 AM (GMT)
Or Germanynews.com >>
Leo Leonardo - November 28, 2006 03:42 AM (GMT)
it makes no sense, Leo says.
SilentStrike - November 28, 2006 03:49 AM (GMT)
I agree. It costs money to remove the adds, too >>
Leo Leonardo - November 28, 2006 03:51 AM (GMT)
I would pay for ad removal if I could, well, maybe not, cause I have my own stuff to think about.

Just mail in your money to Sweetie, to use to spend on the money here, and all will be well
Leo Leonardo - November 28, 2006 03:56 AM (GMT)
I better get some prize for sending the money in, like, admin for a week, bragging rights for a month, a free trip to Japan, etc.
SilentStrike - November 28, 2006 04:03 AM (GMT)
