Le_Murphant Posted September 3, 2009 CID Share Posted September 3, 2009 I remember about a year ago when some spammer sent my "erotic" stories translated from indian with really long "oooooooh"s and "aaaaaah"s that would span many lines, it was quite an amusing read. Ofc, a mod was advised and that user was swiftly banned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ofc, a mod was advised and that user was swiftly banned. oh my gosh i remember that...lots of members got those stupid stories...and it didn't stop with banning one or two members...we ended up banning several ip's from that area...they were all coming out of a call center...guess they were bored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zalternate Posted September 3, 2009 CID Share Posted September 3, 2009 I don't know about this forums Moderator software, but to mass delete posts, you get the users name that has the many spam posts, and then you click to show all their posts and then click the master check mark and then click delete. Then go to ban the user name(either first or second). Then ban the IP as well(maybe ban first if they are on the boards at the time), if a quick search shows it's a large known spammer IP. There are large centers in India that have 'Organic' Spam Bots. They are slightly easy to notice by their writing style. Their replies go with a thread, but some replies leaving you scratching your head. Signature Spammers take a bit more work. Since many people don't notice the signature link or they may click on the link and get their system hosed and then complain to the Mods about letting ,Bla, Bla, Bla...

AlucardHS Posted September 3, 2009 CID Share Posted September 3, 2009 More of a 3 second job for me in PhPBB3, IPB, and vBulletin. I miss being an Admin or MOD, keeping things in check and deleting bots was my thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
