Korean/Chinese spam (+virus) on forums?
by Zuo | 20/07/2008 13:53:37 There are hundreds of posts now, about naked pictures of teachers, "sex legs" and Halaa raids with Blitzkrieg tactics.. http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=4965919419 &sid=1 http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=4965969278& amp;sid=1 http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=4965678924&a mp;sid=1 The list goes on into eternity.. but can't you do something about those? Put a filter up that does not allow posts or topics to be made if the picture that is being linked in the topic is not a valid image file. That would keep off these spammers.. :/ Guide to Macros: Making a macro topic? Check this first!  |
by Slorkuz | 23/07/2008 11:03:51 The links have been dealt with. For future posts of this nature, please report the posts using the "biohazard" icon in the titlebar of the post. Unfortunately, there is little we can do to pre-maturely prevent these kinds of posts being made. An issue lies with the fact that these spammers keep creating new domains to post, and as soon as we add the previous domain to the list of filtered words a new one is used. In an essence, as it stands right now, it's an eternal game of cat and mouse catchup. The best bet to combat this, for now, is to report such threads using the means described above. Then, as soon as we see these reports, we purge the posts asap and take appropriate account action. Lastly we'd like to thank you guys for being active on reporting these kinds of malicious links. Your reporting assistance is helping keep these forums clean and safe for everyone to browse :) 1013 |
