Eagle Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Folks, we have been infested with a dedicated spammer. So far, we know that Abadmoenceder09, Sterjoha57, Ananceter, Edter54, and Eredder7 are the same person -- or posting from the same IP address. Some of the forums they posted in I don't have mod access to. The ones I can mod, I'll try to clean out until Pete gets back. Until then, fer Gawd's sake do NOT quote the posts. That means I have to not only get rid of the offending posts, I also have to look through each thread and either edit or delete every response that quotes it. Best is if you don't even respond. When you encounter posts by this person (under any alias), just send me a PM with a copy to Pete so we know about it. Do not engage them on the forum ... that's what they want: attention.

Pete M Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Yes, pleeeeease stop replying to them. They won't ever see it and then I have even more posts to go through and delete. I just wonder if they ever make any money off of this crap, or are they just pissed at the world because no one likes them. :hmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

summerinmaine Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I just wonder if they ever make any money off of this crap, or are they just pissed at the world because no one likes them. :hmm: I had a long talk with someone knowledgeable about the financial aspects of spamming, and he cited a statistic that a spam campaign need get only one positive response out of a million contacts in order to be viable. My suggestion is we find that one person . . . and kill them. :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 It wasn't catching the specific type of spammers I wanted so I just hid it for the time being until I figure out my next plan of attack. :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it could be more then one person on the same porxy. Each proxy has their own IP too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
