KoromaCrab 0 Posted October 30, 2015 Why are those two accounts in particular posting that spam? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KoromaCrab 0 Posted October 30, 2015 ahh just realised they were not previous accounts here; strange how such spam happens tbh - I just wonder how it has targeted the pinkun in particular Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morty 0 Posted October 30, 2015 [quote user="KoromaCrab"]ahh just realised they were not previous accounts here; strange how such spam happens tbh - I just wonder how it has targeted the pinkun in particular[/quote]Because the forum structure is archaic. Its the same reason anyone banned from here just opens up another account. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morty 0 Posted October 30, 2015 Well at least this may force the issue, because until they upgrade this forum, looks like these Korean spammers ain''t going away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,218 Posted October 30, 2015 32 pages of spam since early morning and counting - they''re still being posted now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,520 Posted October 30, 2015 In amongst all the junk there were some human responses from whoever is doing this (Jenkins was getting a response from him/them), so it is not some kind of spam bot, but an individual or individuals targetting the forum from South Korea - one response was "hahahah just doing my job sir".

Katie Borkins 1 Posted October 30, 2015 Let''s try and keep this in perspective.Anyone would think this is the first time that distant posters have flooded this message board with page after page of nonsensical drivel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 9,503 Posted October 30, 2015 Where we are talking about automated spambots, the easy solution is to integrate a Captcha or similar based api. That''ll solve the majority. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
93vintage 16 Posted October 30, 2015 The bots that flood a board with tons of posts could be ''tamed'' by having a post rate limit, say no more than 15 posts per half hour. For that to happen a forum upgrade would be required.I would think that Archant want to integrate this forum with their main site (comments on articles etc) and existing back end, perhaps why a forum upgrade hasn''t yet materialised.In the meantime a temporary forum using one of the free solutions would be a good idea, at least until a permanent (bespoke?) solution could be set up.Forget archiving posts and integrating with the website, Archant need to make this place secure from hackers and spammers before they do anything else.

AJ 1,218 Posted October 30, 2015 I don''t care about integrated forum comments throughout the websites. I just came back on here to get my free passport but someone seems to have deleted all the posts - typical! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
