'Dal pacha or whatever keeps coming back using jumbled up letters as names to start posting, he must have run out of names to use and surprised he can start posting with ease with just that.

I got close to 10 last night. I think I chased them out of the Sports forum. Lets see if they go back there. I'll be ready to pick them off if they do. Like shooting ducks in a barrel.

Whack-a-spam.

I got 8 of those pesky spambots last night, both in the sports section and in OT.

Another day, another dozen dalcrapa in the Sports Lounge and Off-Topic General section hard-deleted.

To some extent entertaining to catch a spam bot red-handed (conceiving his/her series of 4 spam posts) already after post #1. Gets perm-banned at once and the profile page still indicatng "Viewing Forum The Sports Lounge".

My suggestion for limiting access to the OT areas to only logged-on users would definitely help, since the threads/posts would have zero SEO relevance if the search engines can't crawl them.....

I was going to argue with you until I realized you're the OP.

To make "unlimited" car forums grateful. Do you even know there is a "private" forum of this kind already (don't forget to log in to check): https://f20.1addicts.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=7? It doesn't look particularly flourishing.

M5Rick and cmyx6go as Zito and Switek, with ///MPhatic stopping by in his Daytona.

Good one Artemis, it's given me a buzz

[Esteban]

Got my share of spammers last night. Always on the lookout.

And take it as a compliment, because Zito and Switek were no real bug busters but smart undercover cops helping Lt. Castillo's team to catch the bad guys.

I feel better now. I didn't know how to take the M5Rick and cmyx6go as Zito and Switek.

[cmyx6go]

Artemis So what's the verdict? Should we be zapping them before they add the link? Or waiting?
