I have a question for y'all. Is it just me or have y'all had an influx recently of spammers with .ru e-mail addresses spamming your boards with drg company ads. I just had to censor about 30 different links as well as ban a few IP's.

How do y'all safeguard against this on your boards?

Just a couple examples of what I just dealt with...

A lot of urls ending in *.fullka.com

(Edit out a couple of life links to domains for drugs, MarcoH64)

I've been getting a lot of spam via the 'Contact Us' form lately, we get spam posts but nothing severe.

2) Block registration from any address containing .info and .biz.

3) Block the IP blocks belonging to Inhoster domains using .htaccess, or better yet at the server level. (Inhoster is a spam, malware, phishing and bot-friendly Ukranian hosting service. I got hammered last week from bots with IPs in the Inhoster blocks.)

85.255.112.0 - 85.255.127.255
195.95.218.0 - 195.95.219.255
195.225.176.0 - 195.225.179.255

4) Ban the IP block assigned to Intercage.

69.50.160.0 - 69.50.191.255
Great post man.

Just wanted to add a quick thing to this.

I had someone register from a .es e-mail address. AND I have the image verification set up. So I blocked everything from a .es e-mail address.

Is there any way of banning certain email suffixes from registering? ".ru" for example

Yep. In vbulletin options under user banning options you can block certain e-mail addresses. These are some I have blocked:

au.ru
bk.ru
fromru.ru
front.ru
go.ru
halyava.ru
hotmail.ru
id.ru
inbox.ru
land.ru
list.ru
mail.ru
mailgate.ru
newmail.ru
nextmail.ru
nm.ru
notmail.ru
ok.ru
pochta.ru
rambler.ru
ru.ru
sendmail.ru
yandex.ru
zmail.ru

or do .ru

Also, I installed a mod that requires the users answer a question (an easy one) -- the NoSpam! hack or something like that -- I haven't had ANY problems since I installed that

I have a simple solution, for antispamming, but it is based on vB 3.0.xx.

If some one is interested, write to me and I'll provide the code. If you have installed my AWS hack, even better, but it is not necessary. It basically checks the first post the spammer makes and tries to find words you have predefined. It counts the occurence of these words and if the counter exceeds a predefined limit, it blocks the post and bans the poster. No more spamming for my board even from the Contact Us form.

Please keep in mind that this is not a ready-made hack, I will give you instructions on how to do it, but it is not a cut-and-paste installation thing.

Its that simple.

I went from 50+ spams a day to ZERO.

Just ask a question that only people would know who want access to your site.

I have an offroading website, and my questions are like:

"What car manufacturer makes the Bronco"

Those foreign spamming jerks probably don't speak english.
