freshJet Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 As we know, there are several spammers lurking in the community who will do everything to ruin the work put into creating phpVMS sites. I thought it'd be useful to create a blacklist, where we can post the details of the pilots who are spammers or suspected to be. Go ahead - lets hope this cuts down the number of spam attacks. I've got about 300 on my forum... currently looking for the two I recently deleted. 1 Quote
Moderators joeri Posted July 26, 2011 Moderators Report Posted July 26, 2011 Ian i think this will be a difficould one as their names and emails keep changing maby an ip would be better and on the other site welcome back Walleed (fsxsimulation) new name new game? Quote
BMI Baby HR Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 The one issue with this is it has to be heavily moderated. Because with a list like this held in high respects could ruin I virtual pilot if some misunderstanding occurred etc. If managed right it could be an effective tool but as I said "if". On a side note I am glad I have never ran into one of these trouble makers from the sounds of it they do some damage. Quote

There are quite a few public databases containing IPs of known and verified spammers available on the net. You can use these to do bulk bans on IPs. Here's one: http://www.spamhaus.org and another: http://spam-ip.com/ Quote
BMI Baby HR Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 Thanks for the info i'll have to check them out. Thanks! Quote

I know, but post IPs and email addresses too... Quote
stuartpb Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 I know, but post IPs and email addresses too... As BMI Baby suggested, who would administer and moderate the list? There would have to be measures in place to ensure the usage of the list wasn't abused, and this could quickly turn into a full time job. There would have to be some structure to rules on any system like this. Quote

There would have to be some structure to rules on any system like this. This is always the toughest thing. It is the same issue behind controller feedback to pilots on the VATSIM network. I am a fan of this however many think moderation is impossible. Quote

Administrators Nabeel Posted August 4, 2011 Administrators Report Posted August 4, 2011 I wouldn't touch that type of thing with a 10ft pole. 1 Quote
