Flawedspirit Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I am curious about a few things: 1. How is he still here? 2. Do you think he'll make it to all 196 countries? 3. Do you think he'll include protectorates, disputed areas, and overseas territories as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flawedspirit Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Curses, he's stopped at Montenegro. To be fair, I'd stop there too. I hear it's a really nice place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obi-Wan Kenobi Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) "he" who? my guess....incognito, and a VPN/Proxy. But I'm probably wrong. MY question is, why does it keep happening OVER and OVER? How many times do we have to keep reporting before action is taken? Last of all, what if the "he" is a "she"? Kaytlin Jenner?

Unobscured Vision Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 It's gotta be an automated bot. I'm on monitoring duty tonight and there's a pretty large and coordinated volumetric (DDOS) event going on tonight. Sites so that you can see for yourself: http://map.norsecorp.com/ http://www.digitalattackmap.com/#anim=1&color=0&country=ALL&list=0&time=16806&view=map Those are the Public Domain ones that I'm allowed to give links to, so those are fine for anyone to use. No firewall necessary, they're safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xilo Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Spam like this can be prevented by: - new members can't start topics until a number of posts - limit amount of posts per hour/day for new members until they reach a certain amount - limit amount of topics/posts you can consecutively start All of these are very easy to implement. Many forums use this. Why doesn't Neowin? PUC_Snakeman, Inertia, oldtimefighter and 2 others 5 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unobscured Vision Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 It could be the way this new version works, or more specifically things that weren't implemented yet. It's an almost totally new design. It's not Neowin's fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unobscured Vision Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I blame the People's Army of Sealand. Their aggressive actions cannot go unanswered! Those weaponized Sea Lion Cubs .. *shudder* .. one look into those large, saucer-shaped eyes is all it takes. They'll make an entire PETA Platoon completely ineffective. And don't get me started about the 166th Heavy Kitten Infantry. They move like lightning towards anything with string. It's the claws ... the claws ...

Uh, we've always had spam protection and quite diligent removal of said spam. Profile spammers and flooders generally last about 5-10 minutes before they're gone. A huge number of sign-ups are stopped at the gate, too. Unobscured Vision, Dick Montage, Barney T. and 2 others 5 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very often when I go to remove spam, by the time I click the button, someone else has already beaten me to it. It's rare the spam posts last more than a few minutes. xendrome 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Montage Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I was going to suggest that, the fact we rage so hard on spam is because it's still actually pretty rare. For a forum the size of Neowin, I bet there's so much we don't see! xendrome 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
