Members spamming porn.

[Velocd]

Not sure if this has been brought to attention yet, but I noticed it while searching for a member.

It's not direct spam, but if you take a look at the memberlist (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/memberlist.php), the first page has a bunch of non-posting users and their websites linking to porn sites.

Who knows how many more pages of users are doing this. An admin should go through and clean these zero-post junkies.

the "!!!username" thing is quite well known - it gets them, and their sites (usually porn, sometimes insurance and other crap spam type links) on the first page of the memberlists.

thx, i deleted a group of them and disabled showing homepagelinks on memberlist :)

Wouldnt be that bad if they were free **rolls eyes**

Nah in all honesty thats disgusting. I mean the first person on the member list's website is a incest one.

Admins/mods need to jump on this straight away ;)

Nice one for noticing it though Velocd

Put up a ban on usernames that have !, !!, !!!, !!!!.... ect in them.

[Xenon]

there are also licensed users having a ! in them, so we cannot ban them straight away..

well, i'll think of something :)

Well, this is what yaXay just did, maybe you should look into doing somethign similar:

Recently i removed an entire page of people who had at least one or more ! in the front of their name, zero posts, and a link to a porn and business site of some sort. And now just in 2 days we already had 7 users doing this 3 of which were pure advertising.

Its a cheap trick, and even those who aren't doing it for the purpose of advertising are just being a bit lame to be on the TOP of the members list.

All current users with !!! in the front have been edited. If you can't log in it because you must sign in under your name WITHOUT !!! in front.

I'm also blocking users from having !! in the username so i, hopefully, won't have to waste an entire day checking accounts again.


Simply delete the dead accounts and rename the !! active accounts

Hmm i personally think Faranth's suggestion would be best suited at the moment.

[Xenon]

well, no new members will be able to register with those names ;)

also i do some cleanups from time to time, there is such a nice way in ACP ;)

[HiDeo]

Good Xenon ;)

[!!!cyr0n_k0r]

hey now.. my name starts with !!!.

But Im not linking to porn or anything. Plus I registered a long time ago.. when I was young and stupid.

[Zachery]

were you removed? no :P

alot of them did however

[Xenon]

i just removed unlicensed users :)

and i changed the register, so such names are not allowed in future.

as you can post, you have not been removed ;)
