Some punk.....

    Some punk just wants to keep playing a game with my PHPLD directory. It does it by submitting and adding this gibbirish into the Description field.

    And when viewing from the PHPLD Admin I can't delete the link or the other submissions. See picture of the admin.

    He (or she) has done this several times and I had just got done fixing the one he did, obviously he noticed I fixed it and he try's it again. He has done on the other PHPLD direcotry of mine aswell, where he added an Amazon affilate banner code into my Category. So when I'm viewing the admin/Category I cannot Go further as it is"grayed out" Can't delete or modify or view other Categories. Fix that by going to PHP My Admin.(Solved)

    The idea is so easy to put a code like i showed above where it will ruin the Link administration.

    I think I piss some one off.

    The I.P of this person is. 203.144.144.164 I search and it is from Thailand

    So beware...Anyone know how I can block this punk from accessing my site?.....Cpanel maybe?

    Thanks!

    We all get those, it's not just your directory software. Delete, move on.

    If you can filter then do so, but chances are the IP range is constantly changing.

    I'm not talking about Spam here...i'm talking about someone who is intentionally trying to missed-up my site. It's preventing me from reviewing the site submission...No Edit,Delete buttons SEE this picture.

    You shouldn't allow html in your submission forms. I think stripping that out might solve this problem. Denying the IP won't fix it, someone could just come along with another IP and do the same thing.

    I don't use PhpLD, so I don't know whether or not there is an option to easily disallow html in submissions.

    wwws, send me a PM. I can take care of this for you. One flaw in some versions of phpld is that long urls dont get truncated in the admin. This causes the edit/delete buttons to be pushed off the screen to the right.

    I got spam each day for one of my directorys. I banned domains and IPs and still come spam. (using phpld 3.06) What should I do?

    I suspect they are from this:

    California, Sunnyvale, United States
    lj611383.inktomisearch.com (74.6.72.117)

    However it might use proxy to hide their ips? Have no idea how to deal with it

    no entry and no exit pages, it looks they are using some automated script to do the spam.

    I think you may be misinterpreting his actions. It may be messing up your admin console because of the directory software you've chosen. However there are no injections in the code or attacks, just misguided enthusiasm for getting links.

    spam it most certainly is
    malicious it is not

    They spam links as category requests and membership requests too.

    It's not about you
    It's about poverty and ignorance and desperation

    since this might happen to me sometime, is it possible to delete the submission from the database using phpmyadmin?
