I've noticed that recently we've become popular enough to warrant spammers.. you know, those people who should be shot for posting things that nobody in the world gives two shits about.

Anyways, I'm going to see what we can do... maybe put new registration on manual validation or something. I just wanted you all to know we're aware of it.

DraconisApr 4, 2009, 1:36 pm · #4

Already did. I banned like 23 members. Or deleted, take your pick.

theres a thing another forum does for that.

example:

what company produces the 240SX? http://www.jdmsouth.com/forums/register.php?do=signup

and every month it would change.

just got another from kirkurial on boost crusing and now on CS12...

why do these people exist? do us a favor and "erase yourself"
still wonders if this is a bot or a person though, no real person would be that ignorant

i banned all mail.ru email accounts on midwestsilvia.com.

Also, I banned the IP address's first 3 octets, as I got like 20 of those spam accounts all at once. IP Addresses range is 194.8.75.*

The 194. part threw me off at first, because I thought all 194. addresses were reserved for LAN IP's. HOWEVER, It is a valid public Class C type IP Address.

My question to you admins is... How did they get to do this in the first place? They spammed me through your site. I didn't want to come back here till I had finished my ride, if not for the e-mail I got from here saying that I had been PMed. I'm not blaming you guys at all. All I'm saying is that your security may be compromised to some extent. I have a 6 year old girl that is quickly becoming a very avid smarty pants on the computer. And yes, I've implemented parental controls, but kids are kids and technology is their game. That's all I'm saying. I'm glad that it wasn't any one making fun, considering my history here. LOL!

haha, no its not the site admins fault, its phpbb and invision power boards fault. The people who write the software for these systems are not focusing on spam at this time, but more on how they can improve the posting parts.

nismologistApr 6, 2009, 9:24 pm · #17

its just a fake dating site.lol

datzenmikeApr 6, 2009, 11:17 pm · #18

I got one Apr. 1st and today. Seen worse. Still... go get em.

SkS12Apr 6, 2009, 11:37 pm · #19

i have been getting spammer pm's for the past month with just links to sites i haven't clicked on.

Rich_BeanApr 7, 2009, 12:29 am · #20

i've just had 2 messages sent to me that were from random new members and they were just one word as a link to somewhere else. didn't click it of course but still in my inbox. you want me to report to someone about it or . .??

suraidoApr 7, 2009, 1:16 am · #21

i have had 2 messages

one saying "important" and the other said "help"

both with a link

DraconisApr 7, 2009, 1:42 am · #22

Delete both. Both users have been identified and removed from the club. If you are part of BoostCruising, you would have received a PM from the same user name as well with the same message.

this is geting slightly anoying, i'm waiting for pm's regarding parts i'm looking for and don't nead another mailbox full of porn, i almost never use my aol address anymore cause of that crap, getting 20 or so web cam, or inlargement ads each day, that i don't need and i'm not requesting gets old quick

ArroApr 7, 2009, 10:00 am · #24

If you mean the PM's, it will be over soon... we just need to track down all the clone usernames. By all means, post the name(s) here so we can get every last one.

LOL I totally forgot about that guy. He's a test bed for some stuff we were trying out.

ArroApr 23, 2009, 3:02 am · #27

Yeah we actually have a number of bogus accounts, some for testing, others for security purposes, and others still to see from the eyes of the member.
