Bombardment of spambots recently

[EaTCarbS]

There has recently been a bombardment of people spamming links lately. They are pretty tricky to catch because they often post content that is on topic with the thread. When I view all of their posts it shows a bunch of links in the text, but you cant see those links in their actual posts. It makes me wonder if they are bots, or just people in 3rd world countries paid to spam links on forums.

Oh snaps, you must be doing a killer job since I haven't seen any the past few days!

I'm going to change the secret question right now to something else for new account creation. I have something in mind related to you Eatcarbs

Thanks for that. Taken care of.

There are report features. If you see something like that, you can click the report button and it sends a message directly to my e-mail.

This spambot looks delicious though....

I'm going to change the question again, since everybody seems to know EatCarbs, that answer is a bit too easy.

Maybe a 2+2-2+3-5 = ?? question is better?

Spotted a couple more blog spam posts. On an off note it might be worth checking if vbulliten has any upgrades available.

Also php 5.4 recently released which likely has fixed some known vulnerabilities in php.

My "other" alias or identity from my years of service to the linux community. Taught that caleb the foundations of what he know knows about linux administration and engineering. think he got a very well paying job from it eventually.

Thanks! I'm a bit slow on the mod thing, gotta refigure out how to do it (I use a modified VBB).

I changed the security question for new accounts, hopefully that'll trim down the spamzors!
