Spammers & a nice surprise

I’ve had loads of hassle today from spammers. I had a 419 in the morning who I stamped on immediately but they just re-registered!

So I quickly hacked up an IP address banning system and took out over 4000 African addresses in the same allocation that was being used. It seems to have taken them out.

Then a few hours later my new spam detection system went off and I found that someone was spamming our members. I took him out too. What is slightly annoying though is that I can’t just force one member to log off, I actually have to log everyone off which isn’t ideal.

But then at the end of the day I had a lovely surprise. A member posted to the blog that they’d pimped their profile and I was very impressed! I also didn’t realise this could be done!

It just reminded me of the start of My Space.
