Is there a Posibility to Block certain usernames? A User named "zhangsan520" keeps posting Spam... Some (minor) sort of Captcha?^^

@Astorek86 That user is using a particular loophole in the forum code to keep posting. There's a forum update coming that will prevent this from happening. It's probably not worth going in to tweak the existing code at this point since a whole slew of changes are already coming up. So for now it's just whack-a-mole. :) I usually do a scan for spam at least once a day (sometimes more), so stuff doesn't usually stick around for long.

I think I found another spambot user: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?uid=32721&mode=posts#m

They're leaving somewhat garbled posts with irrelevant-seeming links on random threads.

I think the best thing to do is to mark the post as SPAM and move on. You can do so by clicking the DOWN facing triangle that is to the right of the post.

Probably not going to do too much good in here just showing the URL to all of 'em. Appreciate everyone's diligence nonetheless.

Oh and also the wtf one: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?uid=63563
Is the bbs really under attack so much?

@SmellyFishstiks Thanks for the heads-up. Zep is currently fixing the mod tools, which haven't worked for a short time, which is probably why you're seeing more spam than usual. Should be fixed soon, though, after which it should go back to normal. (And yes, it's an unfortunate fact that it is under attack pretty much non-stop.)

P#108170 2022-03-07 05:12

Ya.. well I'll keep on reporting, got to fight these evil bots but like I'm always surprised given how this is just the BBS

P#108181 2022-03-07 10:37

Busy one here.

Another way to find these could be to sort all messages posted by all users - find the users that have made only a single post with their account, and manually examine to see if it is SPAM.

I've seen some bots get multiple jabs in.. or maybe I'm thinking about the same bots posting similar msgs across accounts, either way ya that could be useful.. maybe

@dw817 Thank you for posting these here. If you could also please make sure to continue to mark them as spam as well, that will help. Then when the mod tools are fixed, they will show up in the queue.

@dw817 Thanks, no need to link these anymore. The mod tools have been fixed. You can just flag them and move on.

P#108685 2022-03-15 20:05

Hooray!

Flagged already

Their only comment is obvious spam, but at least it's another dumb bot

P#108883 2022-03-19 08:03 ( Edited 2022-03-19 08:03)

Really weird one here. Normally I wouldn't mention it here, but wow, what a brainweave. Kind of offensive to read, really. Marked as SPAM.

No need to mention. I'll see anything that gets flagged. I think we can save freds72 all the reply-notification emails. ;)
