The latest super directory spammer

[temi]

It looks like this Romania guy is the new super directory spammers, he or she has been spamming all my directories, despite rejecting all the submission, he/she keeps coming back and sumitting again and again.

Look out for him in your directory if he has not been there already

Do you have captcha enabled? If yes I guess some people don't get a clue after first rejection...

 

[rhyswynne]

There's captcah on one of my directories, and it still gets through

 

[temi]

The same guy? Its a person and not a robot submitting (I think)

Develop a custom CAPTCHA system, Question & Answer field seem to be working great

Captcha should help, unless this spammy kinda guy is manually submitting. Maybe you
shouldn't have such great directory sites, Temi...then no one will want to submit

Thanks for the heads up Temi :good:

Will keep an eye for this one

I have just checked my link bid site and this person has submitted a link. Obviously, without paying

I got untold spam coming through UK One - the silly viagra submitters may have downloaded the form!

STILL, there is nothing they get out of it - why they waste their time I will never know.

This guy spammed some of my directories as well. I think I have banned the domain...this is the best thing to do...ban the domain (not the IP as there might be several other websites on that IP)

 

[Meti]

It seems I am the only web directory owner that doesn't have to worry about spam

Here's how my directory works, submitter goes to the submit page and purchases a review, now if the submitter does not pay for the listing the listings automatically is treated as a suspended listing.

As an administrator, I am able to view any suspended listings on my adminCP, take note that they don't end up on my approval list, they have their own separate category

Great, isin't it?

 

[SkinnerW]

That's the way it should be done for all paid directories - pay first than submit

This will cut down all the spam.

 

[temi]

For some reason most directories are not set up that way, its submit first and then pay.

 

[Meti]

Yeah, it's great as you don't get confused. I think the directory script owners should take this into consideration, as this will eliminate all spam submissions (non-paying customers)
