Is anyone else getting annoyed with the spam posts (Mostly in Russian) that have been happening lately?

It's like they make an account, and first (And usually last) post they do, is a link, or links to something else.

It's obnoxious to me at least.

And why is it a smart idea for them to post on a board where I'm sure loads of the members can hack and/or trace it back to the source?

I'm sure at least a few here are good enough to do that.

And this, is my rant for the day.

Anyone else agree with me?

For once, I agree with tracing them back to kick them in the nuts.

I think anyone who's used the internet at all is familiar with the concept of a spambot.

SPAM


You can see one of the messages still, just use google translate to get the gist of it.
The other was deleted, but was basically just a bunch of links and random shit prefacing them, which I assume described what was through the links, as I did not click any.

I'm used to it, but, it's obnoxious still. And it's getting worse.

But, my point was that they're going to a hacking (Albeit rom hacking, I'm sure there are full fledged hackers here) site, and posting spam. It's like, that's not smart to do at all.

There is no intelligence driving the spam accounts, they're bots. As in, automated programs that search the web for message boards to spam on. They don't care who runs the board or what it's about or anything, they don't even know! Someone programs it to search the web for boards, that's what it does, mindlessly.

I love how they see a url box and instantly fill it out with a website.

A simple solution for now would be check if the thread icon ends in a valid image format.. and if not, reject the post.

Nightkev, some spammers actually use humans instead of spambots. Hard to tell the difference, since said humans just copy and paste a lot. And sometimes it's a hybrid, with halfly automated spamming, but the humans used to bypass various captcha systems.

Introduced a cheapo captcha either way. It's not really "secure" or anything, but I reckon spammers wouldn't go as far as making a tailored to Acmlmboard captcha parser.

And if they do, it can always be made more secure.

Nice. Atleast it is readable. Some like recaptcha can be fucking unreadable.

As long as it is using the same high-security encryption as the cookies, I guess it should be fine.

Also, about Acmlmboard-specific bots, is there a particular reason happyface is spamming especially Acmlmboards? (or did he spam other boards?)

Not me, I never ran a serious Acmlmboard. But Kawa did get it. He deleted any trace of it on the board, tho.

Many Acmlmboards I came accross got it. Even non-active ones where the guy sure had a lot of fun.

Technically, it is not, but it looks and feels like one, really. Not to mention the footer still says "acmlmboard". So I guess that ABXD also makes happyface happy

Happyface targets Acmlmboards.
ABXD got happyfaced.
Therefore, ABXD counts as an Acmlmboard. Q.E.D.
