Spam bots much? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

*kingkilburn* · 04-07-2012, 04:42 AM

As the title says, we seem to have a spam bot problem lately. What gives? :/

omgRWDgoodness! · 04-07-2012, 12:38 PM

The most annoying one to date has to have been that recent one going around and -bump-ing all the threads.

blksylv · 04-07-2012, 12:45 PM

looks like we may have 2 more now

atom · 04-07-2012, 12:45 PM

I will LOL if one of the spambots bumps this thread.

deolio · 04-07-2012, 02:43 PM

so annoying

Yellow4g63 · 04-08-2012, 12:58 AM

Got another one at this time. In the main Chat bumping away.

Sumslapper · 04-08-2012, 01:05 AM

So whats the point of these spambots bumping threads? Is someone benefiting from this? Looks like Zilvia is going to have to make captchas when activating accounts.

KiLLeR2001 · 04-08-2012, 01:08 AM

Close registrations. We are under attack!!!!!

Possible retaliation from ban? Usually they have links or something if trying to benefit...

Yeah this is exactly what I thought when I started seeing this bullshit... Possibly that whole business with "stop zilvia 2012" and all the bullshit that happened in the "not keep drifting fun" thread?? I dunno whatever it is its retarded

KiLLeR2001 · 04-09-2012, 12:33 AM

Yeah, probably used their donation money to hire some spambots LOL.

*kingkilburn* · 04-09-2012, 02:43 AM

I thought the same thing. I hope it's true and traceable. That would be a fun lawsuit to watch.

harrypotter · 04-09-2012, 07:43 AM

Seems some of them are smart. There are a few suspect posts where they actually know the topic of the thread they are posting in.

Yellow4g63 · 04-09-2012, 10:07 AM

LOL wow too funny

***enkei2k*** · 04-09-2012, 10:09 AM

At least the good thing is, they don't have access to the marketplace to give sellers free bumps...*knock on wood.

SimpleS14 · 04-09-2012, 06:38 PM

I had a similar problem on my forum awhile ago. After doing some research I found out the accounts were based in India. It appears some people make a living from spamming links and getting clicks. Even if it's pennies...it all adds up.

When all the mods go to sleep at night that's when they register and start attacking the forums. I'm reporting 2 or 3 every night and there's not a moderator in sight...

*kingkilburn* · 04-11-2012, 05:35 PM

Sounds like they need some night security.

<<<night owl

*revat619* · 04-12-2012, 04:05 AM

There's another one on the loose right now...

This shit is out of control. Add a captcha or close registration until its fixed and be done with it already. It's fucking annoying....

lucky7 · 04-12-2012, 05:05 AM

I've reported a handful of 'em in the last month or so. I get up at 6am EST, so most of you fuckers are sleeping still.
