Before I get started, spam alts are becoming more common. And you guys aren't doing a thing about it.
oh, but your banning them! THAT DOESN'T DO A THING! IT'S A SPAM "ALT!" THE OWNER WON'T CARE ABOUT IT!
Oooh, IP banning! That works! WRONG! People can bypass their IP ban by using proxies. You think that makes them not care?
Idea genres:
1. Forums
- Swearing
-ASCII
-Lagposts
2. Groups
-Multiple group wall posting

Swearing
-Ok, first off, spam don't NEED ASCII or the two unfiltered words to swear spam. They can misspell them purposely, and readible.
Filter all possible misspeled swear words, and all ASCII swearing.
ASCII
-Spam alts don't ALWAYS need to say bad words to swear, they can just post down stupid ASCII art. It's pointless, and stupisd, obviously.
So, filter all possible ASCII swear words. I'm not sure what to do about ASCII art, so I'm asking you guys to gimme ideas, thar'.
Lag posts
- Again, spam alts don't need to swear, art etc. to bypass or spam. They can just overly-abuse lag posting (AKA, postingmultiple posts of the same type).
And I'm gonna give j00 guys two options to stop this.
Option I: Give every user the right to lag post, but 2 maximum. If they get banned for lag posting, they lose that priviledge.
Option II: Remove lag-posting all together.

Multiple comments
-You can just F5 the page, and you made a second comment. Spam alts also spam (duh) 50+ pages.
You can stop this by obliterating lag-commenting, altogether. |
