hello people, okay ive been attacked over the last week by the same BOT spam posting adult content all over my forum and im not alone a quick search over google produces 524,000 total results he's posted literally millions of topics all over the net on different forums but posting the same content give google a quick search for 'adamsmitheuro' and you will see what i mean http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=adamsmitheuro&btnG=Google+Search&meta= i suggest all forum owners take steps to ban this user even if he has not posted already and ban that username even if it is not registered... there are other usernames he uses however this is the main one good luck to all and hope this helps
Thanks for the warning My forum also face the same problem with spamming but not from this guy I suggest you to ban the guy IP so that it can't post at your forum again
IP bans are the way to go... Spammers are a pain, but every website has it's battles xD Good Luck with your forum!
5,000 of bots, 3,000 of proxies == 8,000 ip/s, a common situation when someone amateur gets over spam market. If he's just playing - leave it without banning him now.
you could set only the register user could post. and set some human identify procedure when registering.
done done and done am looking into the captcha now but honestly i think he will still carry on i banned all the ip's and hes been off for about a week now but i bet he will be back he shows online alot but then cant do anything because hes banned
