Title: Poker Spam Bot
Post by: lostflower4 on February 19, 2006, 07:13:35
Maybe some of you noticed, but I think I caught it pretty quickly. There was a guest posting under various names, such as "poker casino 252", "poker casino 354", etc., giving links to online poker sites. The funny thing is that all of the links given were dead. Yes, I guess I'm foolish enough to click on them. :lol:

Anyway, this person/script/bot seemed to be using multiple IP addresses, so I took the most efficient route and disallowed any user names including the word "poker". Sorry if I've destroyed anyone's apsirations of changing their username to something with this in it, but I felt it was necessary. :wink:

Hopefully this crap doesn't reappear in some new kind of idiotic incarnation! :twisted:
