SPAM

Post by AZJames » Sat Jun 16, 2007 8:17 am

Today (June 16th) I count 16 SPAM postings - a new high (or low) in my experience. :shock:

But I suppose that I shouldn't be surprised. Reminds me of my own email inbox! :roll:

Just to inform people, after registration page was upgraded, we are seing impressive drop in spam rate:

Code: Select all

Jun 26, 2007: 26 threads
Jun 27, 2007:  4 threads
Jun 28, 2007:  4 threads
Jun 29, 2007:  2 threads
Jun 30, 2007:  1 thread
Jul  1, 2007:  0 threads
Jul  2, 2007:  0 threads
This is because Nereid keeps banning old spammer accounts, while much less new accounts are created (only 4 suspected spammers since June 27, and I can't be really sure about 2 of them).

Take that, spammers :P

Just joking.
