camaro_dude15 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 i think the bot is programmed to fill in as much info as possible, to make it less suspicious, and its not specific to this forum, alot of forums are getting hit with this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyt Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Yip , I saw the spammers have that number 143040 in their account , before I was a mod I thought it was from one IP but the IP keeps changing so that spam bot keeps spamming.

SpeedCrazy Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Some of them could be from the same person just using proxys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

camaro_dude15 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 ah yes it could be from one person if they have a dynamic ip address Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyt Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 We've got their IP addresses and they are all diferent . They arent hiding them but change them after they're banned so they can create a new member to start spamming with. I dont think we'll be able to stop them , we must all just do our job as mods and you guys must report posts. That makes things so much easier.

SpeedCrazy Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 How bout adding that security feature thing where you have to type what you see in the picture to register an account. That would at least limit the problem to people spamming as i dont think a bot could get around it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
