Late night spam bots

And within a minute of texting Mikep the spam is gone. An absolute master with the ban hammer

Sent to the crusher.

These spammers come in here with their cut sprangs and stance and stuff and things, and I send them packing in redwood ken's memory.

Don't forget "big tweaker wheels". That's what he called my 17" wheels on my 79 242 when I was selling it lol. It had R brakes, maybe he wanted me to put tiny brakes on again. We always had to agree to disagree on mods. Pretty sure he didn't like my 5.3L engine either.

Indeed. I didn't think about it with the last few university spammers, but they all share the same '707091118' phrase, which I believe someone here mentioned was a WeChat number or something. I'm wondering if it's possible to just block that phrase, since I doubt that anyone on here is sincerely going to repost that specific series of numbers.

Then again, the spammer could just change or omit the number, I dunno - it's 6:10 am and I'm just on my phone in bed because I forgot that I don't work on the weekends.

It's Sunday morning on the East coast here and there's a bunch!

I guess we're back to the weird suspicious link spambots?

Regarding the one you commented on near you:

We nuked 6+ Yesterday. I got 4 clones of known spammers, john got 2 spammers, this might be an additional one that somebody banned without deleting.
Pakistan is trying to hit us hard.
One was from the phillipines.

So.

This is a MASSIVE problem on all Xenforo based boards I'm on that don't require an administrator to approve all new accounts. Just a "feature" of the forum software, I suppose.

On another board I'm on there was legit 139 pages of spam threads overnight in one of these blasts, but the Admins aren't home so one of the mods performs cleanup nearly every morning.

That said, if you want Tom Selleck Keto Gummies, I know a guy.

We know they aren’t bots because our feeble attempts make them give up too easily. Bots aren’t lazy.

Are we getting bots that act like they are making real posts? There is a necrobump here. https://www.turbobricks.com/index.php?threads/vibration-ressonance.152057/page-2#post-6350806 It sure seems like some kind of bot bumped the thread. No info on the persons car and very generic descriptions of the car and problems. Is it a real new member?

 

[JohnMc]

IP seems OK enough, from NY/NJ. Post is sort of on topic, but vague and unceremoniously dumped on a necro-thread. Account was made around 3 years ago, this is the first post.

Summary: Weird, but not quite banning weird. So far.

Thank you.
