Martyn 246 Posted July 5, 2019 They are permitted 4 spams per hour or whatever it is, multiple bots are allows to spam too. Nothing wrong with it, the problem is when 1 spam bot is spamming 500 posts.. At the moment it's managable.. until they do region locks.. it'll always be an issue. This is the question.. get minted by easten banks.. but have to deal with constant spam and advertising.. which really doesn't bother you, just your western players.. or only sell to western banks.. and get moderately polite forums.

INVALID 1,037 Posted July 5, 2019 Aye, we had em cut down considerably from a month or so ago but looks like they're getting through a lot more aggressively now. Spoken to our tech folks and they'll be making some further enhancements to the spam filter which will should cut down on these guys getting through. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup I definitely noticed a drop in spam recently, that was nice. That's the thing about cyber security, often you're always one step behind. It's definitely been a much welcome improvement. Down with the spammers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are using an exploit to register and post spam instantly, thats not a spam filter. I appreciate you are trying but this really ruins the experience of visitors to the forum. How many forums do you go to that have spam like this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DannyUK 308 Posted July 6, 2019 I think the forums gets neglected personally, Dollie has publicly said Discord is their main port of call for information, although they do drop by here every so often I think the forums gets overlooked. I agree, shouldn't be getting spam like this really. Maybe a change into the sign up process? I don't know if they are using multiple accounts or what but they seem to be coming back time and time again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Martyn 246 Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) Yeh and after last nights "maintenance period" it looks like they're taking the website down as well. Forums were inaccessible for an hour or so with no explaination. Then all this bot spam.. I know it sounds kinda racist.. but I'd suggest testing new posts against keywords in manderine/korean etc and either autoblocking them or move them to their own little spam forum. Let them spam in peace and put a high deletion or manual thread deletion in the forum, depending how you setup. It is unfortunate that this will possibly catch legit posters, but it would completely remove the spam. Or else require new accounts to exist for 24 hours, before they can post, then check new accounts against filters or limit posts to 1 per hour for all of us.. I'm sure people would like that of me.

Kappinski 58 Posted July 7, 2019 Simple but not easy. Make the first post of someone in the forum only public after it is reviewed by a moderator. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
