Spam

The most recent spammer is gone with all his posts. Sorry for the inconvenience!

maybe giving the rights for stop spammers to old active members can help

Too old and too slow!

Yes, I did, you're welcome.

Another spambot/spammer is attacking BLF. They can be pretty annoying. So that people later will know what I am talking about, this post is all over our forum at the time of this writing:

EDIT: I just broke all of the links. Every part in bold was a link to their website.

Looks more like a manual cut'n'paste attack to me? I could write a better spambot than THAT.

I think you're right. And now it looks like they quit. They spammed 18 threads with a total of 23 posts over a 14 minute period.

I don't know how to distinguish the spam? anybody can tell me.

How about banning chenee ?

Cheneeee joined yesterday and had 57 posts already. He's trying to sell Coach bags in a budget flashlight forum. What is he thinking?

i guess he`s thinking he can sell us some of his coach bags... ;)

wiseguy lol!

Is this how CPF began the journey to the darkside? Idiots spamming and CPF trying to come up with ways to stop it. I hope we are able to kill the spam without losing the community feeling we have here.

Hmm. Next step would be to create a technical solution to prevent spam from being accepted.

For instance, generate a hash of each message over some minimum length (so :P messages don't trigger). Then just keep these hash signatures in memory for a few hours (to keep the collision checking quick) and dump any new messages that collide.

You could defeat this by changing a single letter of the comment, yes, but it would defeat pure cut/paste attacks.

Ughhhh, Cheneee is gone now with all of his bags. Sorry for the inconvenience!

I'm glad you finally "bagged" him lol

What is a coach bag anyway?
