Effing Nigerian Spammers
Posted On 02/01/2010 22:46:45 by steve

kiddos,

 pardon the seeming sudden onslaught of (tempting, I know) Nigerian love spam. If the solution were as simple as merely weeding out bots or other patterned behavior I'd be on it like burtn rice to a pan, but alas, these humans seem to think it's worth their time to create profiles and send messages manually, one at a freaking time. They never get very far but damn if it isn't annoying anyway.

so again, excuse the stupid spam shiznit. I've been hacking away at he server transition and haven't been as attentive to messages as I ought to have. I'll be more swift in my merciless judgments as soon as the transer is complete. Until then, I thank yes for yer patience.

They keep on trying, God knows why. No one actually ANSWERS their e-mails, do they?!

Perhaps a limit on how many messages a new account can send within a short period (6, 12 or 24hrs).  Possibly linked to that counter/stars thing which seems to relate to level activity rather than age of account, so creating an account and waiting before spamming isn't enough to skirt the limit on new accounts.

Slightly unrelated, well untirely unrelated, question - what happened to the town hall part of the forums?

Could always sign their email addresses up to some spaming mailing list if you know of any?

I was thinking if there was a settings option for only friends to be able to send pm's to you it might prevent this from happening.
