Haha well I have a study center..for 3 assignments. Not sure if I can do them in an hour and 10 minutes!

 

[Luke]

My forum just got spammed over 400+ messages >.<

 

[Xuan Zhongda]

You know how it goes... you keep procrastinating and procrastinating...

Then BAM. All of the sudden it's due. You don't know how it happened and you stay up all night doing it.

@ZINC: Yuck.

 

[XcapeX]

400 messages? Ouch. I was getting some spammer signups earlier that I banned.

They do it when I'm asleep and then they spam people's PM inbox and it takes for ever to delete the messages too >.<

 

[XcapeX]

Ban their IPs perhaps?

 

[Xuan Zhongda]

I second that idea.

 

[XcapeX]

I changed my forum to email activation. It may annoy people, but it saves me from spam.

 

[Xuan Zhongda]

As long as you have a decent internet connection, e-mail activation isn't that annoying.

 

[Luke]

Ban their IPs perhaps?

50 people signed up and used two different IP's all leading to hosts with VPS's. I don't think it would work 😛

 

[XcapeX]

Well two different IP's. Ban the IP's? 😛

 

[Xuan Zhongda]

Oi. Dunno what to say. Can't say I'm familiar with the term VPS.

 

[Cam]

Ban their IPs perhaps?

That truly is an awesome idea, I wonder why he didn't think of that? 😛

It's not like proxies, private servers, etc don't exist. They can just use them, if they know how.

Anyways, I am off to bed, I am actually tired. :sleep:

Oi. Dunno what to say. Can't say I'm familiar with the term VPS.

VPS means virtual private server I believe.

 

[Luke]

Yes but next time they will have new IP's 😛

 

[XcapeX]

Oh I see what you mean. Not sure how to avoid that =/

 

[Xuan Zhongda]

Will wiki later, then. <.>

Crap. Generator just broke.

 

[Luke]

Oh I see what you mean. Not sure how to avoid that =/

Yeah, at least our members don't mind and stick with us, happened something like 6ish times now.

 

[XcapeX]

Ouch. You should ask for a solution from others.

 

[Branden]

You need to get off of proboards. Alot of spammers on proboards.

 

[Xuan Zhongda]

-Whistle- I'd recommend Zetaboards.
