Brundigigeddy looks suspiciously like memnHieraKal.  I think an IP ban is in order.

ETA: And by "looks like" I mean "same domain name listed for personal website."

I was wondering the same thing, Sculli.......

There may be a bot database or something like it that knows how to infiltrate secundi... Maybe silvanon should just get reCAPTCHA or something. (It annoys me, too, but if that's the only way to stop them then it's worth it.)

There is a reCAPTCHA for Secundi when you sign up, I'm fairly certain. But perhaps there is a bot database and once one figures out how to get through on a particular forum, it is updated for all other bots. >.o

JellyThunda

Oh.
Wow, then how are they getting on here? XD Maybe the best that Secundi can do is just delete the spammers when they get here. :P

Perhaps there should be a reCaptcha plus an email link to confirm?

Some unknown website on their profile where your profile picture goes. Prolly a bot.

Spring got it.

Silvanon

Already new registrations have to click a link sent to their email to activate their account, the registration process includes a "human check" question and a captcha test.  I think we're dealing with real live human spammers, not just bots, and the best we can do is deal with them as they come.

Kurlimod - posting ads for VERY inappropriate drugs.


Luv007

aquannarery-- Stuff in profile suggests it's a bot.

Luv007

just wanted to take a quick second and say thank you to luv007 and springacres and everyone else for helping keep this list of bots for Silvanon, and keeping our forum clean. :) I do wish there was a better way to keep advertisers out, but until then, your help is appreciated!

Ohmy.

wow.. usually by the time I get here they have done been reported/removed, but it seems like we got snowed today..  Has it been being this bad and I've just been completely missing it?

I'd like to add my thanks to you guys for helping to keep the boards a clean safe place.  I honestly had no idea it was quite this bad, you guys are awesome

Wow, all the spammers are getting ridiculous. Wish there was some way to keep them out :(

Kahlira

They're coming out of the woodwork D=

It scares me a bit.

Lectral

Holy.... ick!  Took care of the ones I saw, cause some of those posts were waaaaay not appropriate!

Ryuukokoro

Thanks Lectral!

Today was a strange day. Maybe it was just one person/bot who creates multiple accounts at once in order to bombard a forum.

Kadana Sorano

one can hope.. as bad as that is, I much prefer that, to thinking that a bunch of"those people" are actually getting organized and scheduling group "hits" to sites.  Maybe it's just the sleep deprivation talking, but that's honestly what I was thinking earlier lol  I get weird thoughts/ideas when I get over tired..

Would it maybe be possible to create a sort of spam-fighting committee made of users with just enough moderator rights to get rid of the spam/bots? That way our eagle eye members could just take care of the bots themselves rather than post here for an admin to take care of the issue.
