Pakistani spam wave
Posted: 12 Jul 2012, 12:05
We have had the Russian and the Chinese spam wave. recently they all seem to come from Pakistan.
So I removed a lot of members and banned by ip. In the case of the Chinese spam wave I banned ranges of IP's from the server.
That is not fair towards any decent Chinese forum members within that range, what we are sorry for, but within the acceptable, in terms of spam fighting.
If the Pakistanis keep this up they might get the same "honor".
Here are some amusing threats made by spammers that fight for their right to spam:
