Those Spammers Strike Again
Damn them all to hell….
MODERATORS - This is a test from an automated software aimed at posting to “dead” forums only. If this is not an abandoned forum we apologize, simply block this nickname and we’ll not attempt to post again.
This one (above) just popped up on KilkennyMusic.com’s forum. Upgraded to latest version of phpBB and they’re still coming… time to make a few additions to the scripts I guess. Maybe a timer check? I’m only guessing that bots are filling out forms in record time, as well as avoiding the graphic captcha. Anyone been in a similar position?
Between the increase in forum spam as well as a heavily noted increase in blog spam across the board it is getting a little tiring…
At least in this case it wasn’t extreme NSFW links….

Where there’s a will there’s away. Those scumbags.
My roaddeaths.ie blog got a truckload of spam comments this morning that somehow managed to get past akismet. So far akismet has done a great job blocking over 13,600 spam comments on that blog. Hopefully this slip was just a one off.
Spam is coming in counts of hundreds per week. Madness. Akismet etc are blog-savers to say the least.
Sure it isn’t the old manual spammers ken? Just trying to piss you off by saying they are automated??
If its you, you’re in trouble!
No its not me!
