How Many Spammers?
on: May 07, 2010, 09:13:21 AM
Apart from the Lord and Master of all Spammers how many spammers does the site get on a daily / weekly basis?

I just saw another one get scalped by Mike this morning and wondered if MTO is a regular 'target'?

Most SMF forums get nailed pretty regularly and some phpBB forums too... it depends on how it's setup and how much control you have on it. higher profile forums seem to get hit more than low profile ones

The smf forum on divasatanica.com rarely gets hit, but it is embedded, and Spanish.

We used to get a number on forum.sexto9.com as well, but a signup question that you are forced to answer correctly stopped that pretty quick. (but that's phpBB)
The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.

Yeah, the team here is pretty good, and being mostly global, spammers don't last long. The report system we have helps out tremendously as well.

on the upside, if he's trying to sell something... he's doing a good job of hiding whatever it is.
