You're not wrong, good Nekro. :cool: This board has more spam than any other active board I've ever seen.

Can't blame Kaijester for being frustrated with cleaning it up by himself either, with all the suggestions that he's made to the admins about how to limit it showing up in the first place...

Looks like someone's trying to clean it up, but it keeps on coming. Thanks for trying though

Yeah, good effort today...but there are things that can be done so everything gets done automatically.
It will continue to be full of spam before someone delete's them again :p

edit: as you see more comes, while mods are deleting. Tomorrow full of it again.

Try to add something to prove you are human before posting? Like a captcha

Start banning IPs from connecting to the web server, starting with TOR exit nodes, there isn't any legitimate reason someone would need to hide their actual ip address from forum mods.

Example:

# create a new set for individual IP addresses
ipset -N tor iphash
# get a list of Tor exit nodes that can access $YOUR_IP, skip the comments and read line by line
wget -q https://check.torproject.org/cgi-bin/TorBulkExitList.py?ip=$YOUR_IP -O -|sed '/^#/d' |while read IP
do
# add each IP address to the new set, silencing the warnings for IPs that have already been added
ipset -q -A tor $IP
done
# filter our new set in iptables
iptables -A INPUT -m set --match-set tor src -j DROP
