Right I have changed the way you sign up to the forums so that I have to manually add new users – hopefully this will cut this crap out!!
i have pruned a load of accounts – if you see any that are still suspicious (and i doubt i got all of them) post their names here and i will delete
thanks

November 10, 2006 at 8:18 pm #38933SpugsParticipantThere is a well dodgey looking one, can’t remember exactly what the name is but it’s something like TurksMeister, certainly sounds like it may be linked to some kind of ‘enhancement’ scam
November 10, 2006 at 11:23 pm #38934XDCMorganParticipantTheres one that looks real dodgy as hell
Its something like….. Toothbrush…. or something?
But ban him anyway just to make sure. 😈 😈 😈 😈 😈
November 10, 2006 at 11:58 pm #38935xdc magickerParticipantwell at least one of the bots / twats have tried to join again so it looks like this should work – fingers crossed

Fuck yeh it is! Been going to the gym 5 times a week for the last 7 weeks… going to write a book – from tits to pecks… in 5 easy steps!

November 11, 2006 at 10:13 am #38941AnonymousParticipantProblem is andy pandy sugar and dandy that it will probably send you a mail when they try to register for you to manually admin. If they keep on coming, they’re just going to flood your inbox and you can’t exactly filter out the spam because then it would block legitimate messages from the site too =/
Chances are they found a vulnerability in the php code so they’re coming here, have you kept on top of the latest patches etc?
November 11, 2006 at 10:16 am #38942XDC wild egg tamerParticipantI don’t think its bots either……….more than likely people getting paid 1p or summat everytime they sign up to a forum………thats a lot harder to control 🙁
November 11, 2006 at 1:39 pm #38943XDC MadHippyParticipantBeen doin a lot of reading on this. I think they are bots. I even found a forum that has three active (friendly) Bots that can reply to simple posts in a forum. Must find that link again. I posted a possible fix in another thred somewhere.
edit: found it
http://xdcuk.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1633
There are bots that can recognise the text thingy and even some that reply to activation emails
Barstitchs!!
November 11, 2006 at 3:17 pm #38944xdc magickerParticipantwell the same bots have tried to rejoin after i kicked them off – i think having to admin them will work out ok as they have only tried once in the last few day
will just have to wait and see but so far so good
