Current Ban List

<< < (2/5) > >>

Spectere:
The entire list changing.

It went from like five entries to a million (slight exaggeration).

Bobbias:
Wow, increase in spammers etc. lately?

Spectere:
Oh yeah.  It's gotten completely ridiculous.  In the past couple of days I think about four bots signed up, all of which came from Amsterdam and Russia (hence the extremely heavy blockage of entire class A and class B blocks -- I don't need web servers accessing my forums, after all).

There was one registration that was either registered by a malware infection or someone working out of their homes that appeared to be from a residential hostname (the *.corbina.ru block, to be specific).  Since I don't know anyone in Russia, and that area is a haven for spammers, I blocked it.  Blocking *.ru, *.nl, *.cn, and *.cz is kind of tempting at this point as well.  Harsh, yes, effective, very yes.

Alice:

Bobbias:
.nl? Are there that many spammers down there?
