Can anyone tell me the purpose of this. Is it just to wreak havoc on forums, with no other benefit to the perpetrator? I dont see how that would be fun. ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

Turned 'new registrations' back on last night and this happened again. Turned it off this morning and am cleaning out the spam ... again.  ------------- Former: /diaries/details.asp?ID=6170" rel="nofollow - 97 Sport Nautique 1994 Ski Nautique 86 Silver Nautique 79 Mustang |

Keith... is there anyway to set the site up where a moderator or you has to approve a newcomer to the site? I realize it's a minor inconvenience to you or a moderator but might be needed to prevent SPAM and wasting your time removing it. ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.

I feel there are way too many vicious people in our world. I noted this latest batch came from Korea and I suspect it's North Korea. Kim Jong holds a vengeance and I understand he has people that specialize in cyber bullying .

This seems just malicious rather than useful to the attacker. At least when our practice got hit with ransomware 2 weeks ago, you can see why they would do it. This is just painful graffiti..... but the randsomware shut our server down for 2 days. At least CCFan is still up and running.

During my day job I work on building and maintaining large scale web frameworks so I can maybe help lend some advice to helping stop the spam without limiting active-real users. - You could add in another step to your form validation function to block the use character that are not ASCII 32-126. A javascript function like.... var containsUnacceptedLanguage = function (text) { var regex = '[^\x00-\x7F]+' var array= text.match(regex); if(array.length > 0){ return True; } else{ return False; } }; containsUnacceptedLanguage('Düsseldorf, Köln, Москва, 北京市, إسرائيل !@#$'); \\this would return true - During form validation you could check the last time a user made a post to the forum and if it is less then a couple seconds you could stop the user from posting until a certain time has passed. If the user keeps trying to post than you can disable the account. I believe the spammer is running automated scripts to make the posts so this would block the scripts from making posts. These are probably your best bets. Other solutions could affect 'good' users. |

It seems Ball of Spray never gets hit with Spam. Is it because it’s a different format or does Horton have to approve all new members? Or does Horton have so much spare time he can delete the posts the same minute they appear? ------------- Please support The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation 1976 Ski Nautique 351 Escort 1993 Ski Nautique purple and black 351 HO PCM |

Okay, step 1:. I have set that I have to approve all new registrations. We'll see where that takes us. Wanted to avoid this but email verification was not secure enough so I will now have to personally approve. -Keith ------------- Former: /diaries/details.asp?ID=6170" rel="nofollow - 97 Sport Nautique 1994 Ski Nautique 86 Silver Nautique 79 Mustang |

Yes pete You hit the nail right on the head. Kim Jong without a last name is a Malibu guy and he's got nothing better to do than SPAM up CCF
