Morning everyone.

I've recently blocked an IP from our forum thinking it was linked to spam. I still do, but would like a second opinion for I could be way off base here.

IP info: a.f.5746.static.theplanet.com [70.87.15.10]

Prior to blocking, this guy has been hopping all over our board attempting to post as a guest. After I blocked him I'm getting DB errors out the well...use your imagination.

DB errors are mysql connect errors. See below:

Database error in vBulletin :

mysql_connect() [<a href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (11) /home/mysite/public_html/forum/includes/class_core.php on line 274

MySQL Error :
Error Number :
Date : Wednesday, September 5th 2007 @ 07:51:15 PM
Script : http://www.mysite.com/forum/private.php?do=newpm&u=1046
Referrer :
IP Address : 70.87.15.10
Username :
Classname : vb_database

Yesterday this one IP generated almost 800 errors in ten minutes.

What do you make of this? Thoughts on how to proceed? Do you think it's spam? If so, I have no problems contacting The Planet as I'm fairly certain it is in violation of their AUP. Also, other members are not receiving any DB errors. For them things are running smoothly.

I'd appreciate any thoughts on this.

Thanks in advance

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
