Unfortunately, this is the truth. Spammers always win because they steal services. Freebies. It is an expensive and never ending battle with them.

Cabbage Acanthus Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Oh, I have faith in only a few things... Our favorite spammer hitting these boards with a regularity that many fiber suppliments would envy is one of them. We will all be splashed with another movement of the true soon enough I'm sure. I do have to wonder if our dear friend (actually I've started to like him in a Andy Kaufman sort of way) applied the same effort and ability to any other worthwhile endeavor how far ahead he would be in the long run.

Deltango Vale Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I guess I live on another planet because it's blindingly obvious to me that the source of the problem is free, unlimited, unrestricted, uncontrolled, wide-open, disposable, anonymous accounts.

Storm Clarence Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I disagree that alts are source of the problem. I have an alt - I do not spam or abuse the privelege. Alts are just one tool or service the spammer steals. One can say just hosting a forum is the source of the problem. However, I think to stiffle our particular type of spammer, charging for alts would certainly help. Again, however, they may have already registered 100's of alts.

Perhaps LL should consider having folks reguster within the download of the viewer. I have no idea if this is even possible, but it would certainly discourage spammers;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrius Gothly Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 The answer is simple .. go to Google (or your fave search engine) and type in "Web Hosting" as the query. I just did on Google and got this in the results: About 207,000,000 results (0.10 seconds) Umm ... ouch! Now that doesn't mean there are 207 million web hosting companies, but the real number is definitely one of those BFN's. (Big ahem Numbers) As soon as they shut one of them down, he just moves to a new one and starts again. More effective means are to attack him at his narrower points of failure .. for example his domain registrations. Another good place is at his PayPal accounts. The reality is that while he can host his criminally motivated content in 100's of thousands of locations, there are very few places where he can register his domains and even fewer where he can get money out of his scam. The moral here is .. when you've only got a needle to attack someone with ... stick the needle where they will feel it the most. PS: It looks like our own personal "Andy Kaufman" is back .. this time with a NEW ploy .. and dimmit, I fell for it. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redae1488303494 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 At least, with the new software, its stopping the majority of the spam. Hopefully this guy gets that we don't want him here and finds somewhere else to troll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
