Re: Obnoxious Spammer Infecting Guestbook!
Who says I'm not making money of this, eh?!
I mean....
It's most probably a spider.
Boy let me tell you what:
I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too.
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.

Re: Obnoxious Spammer Infecting Guestbook!
OK, the best option is to simply *disallow* posts that mention voagra or coalis. Not just censor, but actually stop. I will get coding.
If for some reason the whole forum crashes - well, it will just be me, ok?

Re: Obnoxious Spammer Infecting Guestbook!
Um... not sure if this is the same person... but a user has registed with the name 'Voagra'. NOOO!!
Edit: Sorry, false alarm, I see someone has banned them already.

Re: Obnoxious Spammer Infecting Guestbook!
I banned that user. But then I registered them as well.
Is there method in my madness?

Re: Obnoxious Spammer Infecting Guestbook!
I believe there is.
If the name 'Voagra' is taken, then guests won't be able to post under that name.
Yay for spammer-beating!

Re: Obnoxious Spammer Infecting Guestbook!
Yay! But I doubt it will work for long, so I am still working on a "not allowed to post a message with certain words" modification, due any day now

Looks like they're back. Under the name of coalis now. Still with American states, IP 61.222.208.123.

Re: Obnoxious Spammer Infecting Guestbook!
OK, I have made the modification.
Now if I mention (I can't mention it) I can't post a message.
I also exchanged "i"s for "o"s in the previous posts to further thwart their efforts.
If I have caused odd side-effects, just let me know.
Now, if I could just fix the endless spam in my inbox ...

Re: Obnoxious Spammer Infecting Guestbook!
Ummm...Tigeree. I just deleted a bunch of my posts. While doing so, two threads were deleted. I don't know if this is what you are referring to, but if it is, I am sorry. I needed to move forward beyond a rather silly period in this forum. The group of posts that I deleted were of no use to anyone and I thought that it was best if they no longer could serve as a source of disagreement. So, sorry if I deleted anything that was important to you, but I had my reasons for doing so.
If you are refering to posts outside of that scope then I am not the culprit. I am not a moderator.

Re: Obnoxious Spammer Infecting Guestbook!
I have deleted a few posts (of various members) when the comments didn't add to the topic.

Re: Obnoxious Spammer Infecting Guestbook!
Don't be sad. It is just me trying to keep the conversations "on topic". I do it to everyone. Even myself! (Yes, I have deleted my own posts because I didn't like them after writing them.)

Re: Obnoxious Spammer Infecting Guestbook!
I have also deleted some posts which didn't contribute much or weren't on topic. This just helps keep the threads easy to follow, so that some people (me included) don't get too 'lost' while reading!
