Spam

[dynamite]

Has anybody gotten an massive increase in people spamming this free ipods, ps2, xboxs, etc. junk! It has almost become a full time job on my site banning these people! I have had to add domain names and referer codes to the censor to cut down on the posting. I am about to go nuts!

Yeah I just censor the URL as soon as I see them

[ManagerJosh]

It would be interesting if we could program the censor to replace the codes with our own

[0ptima]

Would it be ok to post the URLs so I can ban 'em ?

Now that is a good idea

This is what I have banned so far since yesterday, and these are just the domain names without the .com or .net, etc. These also include ones they redirect to bypass the censor. I put them in the { } just so it bans those words.

I have also blocked the following typical referral info as well:

?r=
?referral=
?referer=
?r=
?ref=
?refer=

I figured at the minimum it inconveniences them and they won't get credit for the referrals!

Everyone wants to be at the top of the pyramid.

The ones it looks like it is blocking are listed below... just remove the X

Whenever I see something like that, I find their e-mail and make good, revengeful use of it.

Thanks, I added those URLs to the censorship words.
