Yep, I've been looking at them before nuking them as they crop up. 90% of them are sleepers registered long ago. I just deleted something like 1000 registered but never used accounts that looked fishy.

ya i am getting alot of old yahoo stuff to
>spam bots<...not so much here..the ones here are easy to deal with
unless of course they flood the dang fourm.

.
but for some reason i am yet to get a handle on is my wiffie likes to go to you-tube
and face-book..she goes to play the games..dang my main box fill's up as we are on the same network >admin here<,but now atleast there down to using yahoo..
when i was running a mirc we had the same problem
so we made everyone go through the re-reg deal..u had to be alive to do it
then we cleaned out the server..never had another problem..
if u do this saint.? imho your best bet
send out the active mems a pm,to tell them to re-reg..a active mem will understand

that is brutal.

perhaps people just go around and make accounts. they stockpile a huge database of accounts, then sell them off to the spammers as ready to go spam accounts to advertise on.

it's...brilliant. $:-\$

shawn u nailed it to the t
a few years ago less then 10, a sign up addy >spam< was worth .25 cents
today it is 2.00 for each addy spammed.
this is exactley why we did on micr as i sujested.
mass e-mail all nicks
tell them they have until xx day to re-reg..then we shut down the servers and cache
cleaned out the cache,and did a back-up on the real files etc
and started a new
the process was easy but a spy bot >spambot< could not do it
name
password
answer the below question
this u had to type in
u had 3 chances
and if u did not get it, the reg fourm was cancelled
no more spam

yes u c once a :bot: room's a site..and or sign's up..without the need to auth the account..bing ban boom u get a fishing for false accounts
this was and is very bad in ie6/7/8 and firefox up to and still 12.05.05..
there is really olny one way to stop it
LOCK IT DOWN
most ppl wonder why 1 site went from free to pay for ?
guess WHY NOW?..it is not hard if u have a brain.
there is truley olny 1 way to rid them,
and personally i do not want to be in saints shoes,as some of these are robo :bots:
the worest pain in the ass u can ever fiquire..think about your morning itch,u will get the point.
IF u clean the cache,make sure all nicks re-reg in 3 simple step's
u stop them cold DEAD COLD..IT IS THAT SIMPLE...
next everytime they post a bull thing they get $2.00
do that for 16 hours
do the math

Yeah this latest batch of spambots were registered about a year ago, and seem to have been dormant until now.

Would you people please stop replying to the spammers, it makes it that much more difficult to delete, since I can no longer do it from their post page.

DeLuSioNal29 · « **Reply #58 on:** February 09, 2014, 07:19:52 pm »

I noticed that most of the spammer accounts created has this exact wording, "I want to build my own arcade controls!" in their description. I wonder if we could filter all those out and take a better look at them?
