DB Fourms being attacked!!

The attack of link spammers with bad porn linkbombs and stealth nonsense. Someone turn on the mod spot light and get the commish on the line.

You know you can just report the threads and the mods will get to it when they can?

I did report them. Well not all 12 of them, I stopped at 5 or 6.

Edit: Kinda funny though. I make a semi-funny post about the spamming and I am the one who gets shit. Also, piss off Svpernova09

There are a lot of probe scripts that hit this popular board type, fighting it can be rough however without adding captchas and other proof of life mechanisms. Its pretty easy to remove, when they slowly add users and plaster forums its quite annoying on my forums.

I think he was being tongue-in-cheek about the cuddle part. ;) I laughed, at any rate. :P

I had this issue on my boards, all I had to do was add a simple Q&A to the reg process and 99% of the spam stopped.

I did the same, for me, it stopped 100% of the spam.

I even have the answer in the question.

"What is the name of this site? (dual-boxing.com"

And then you set to accept:

www.dual-boxing.com
dual-boxing.com

And some more variations.-- and poff, spam gone.

I saw sites asked things like "3 + 4 =" (obviously not always the same question) and I thought that was pretty smart
