Any one look at the new member list lately? We have one new user that named him or her self viagratramodalascialis or something like that. Any sentance that starts with the name is viagra is sure to be spam. What they don't realize is that as soon as they post spam, it will be deleted. The second time they post some spam the account will be deleted and they manage a third time thier ip address will be blocked.

Just say no to spam.

No one really minds advertisements but no one likes spam at all. Where is the line and who drew it?

Who are these people?
written by John Riley , November 10, 2009

And where did they come from? None of these new users are posting anything so are they bot accounts or what?

I wouldn't worry about it. So a few people sign up that don't post articles. Big deal.

ip address comment
written by Travis Moran , November 12, 2009

u better watch that ip address blocking. first of all it doesn't work. many of us use proxies which change ip addresses every time u get online. therefore banning one would be futile.

and the 2nd and more important issue is cuz of institutional ip addresses. like a public library. if u ban the ip address of someone who is using a public library computer, then all patrons at that library will not be able to use your site. not really an ideal situation.

think about this.

there are better ways of dealing with spammers and trolls.

"viagratramodalascialis" rotflmao. that username cracks me up.
