Forum Announcements [Public] / Slamming the door on Spammers.
« Last post by TimothyEllis on October 30, 2021, 08:18:51 PM »Up until now I've been just taking spammer activity as junk you have to deal with.
But I've a very bad day today, and I've lost patience.
The last spammer had the entire IP address banned. As in 188.everything.
Most of the spam is coming out of Russia, mainly SEO peddlers using us to build links for search engines. Or porn.
As far as I'm aware, Auslander is the only member from that region, and I have his IP recorded.
The rest are going to get IP banned as I see them now.
If you hear of anyone who suddenly can't get in, let me know. I'll try not to get people blocked, but it might happen by accident.
IP banning is never a good thing, but there is a point where you just slam the door. And I reached it today.
