Once upon a time, I used to cheer for May the 4th... now I cry with disappointment. *Except Clone Wars S7 and the Mandalorian - they are awesome*

That would be through IPs, but if the individual was using a proxy I wont make a difference.

As for contacting anyone, there's no one really. that's why spam is always a problem. Google provides a search engine, not a policing service.


If none of those ideas can help solve the problem, then WHAT can? Simply closing the site to a permanent lockdown, unable to allow any new members in? That would suck if it were the case.

That would be a proxy. The police likely won't care enough to do enough about it, but he's almost certainly using a proxy, and the Guild has almost certainly logged it. But even if the police did care enough, they could only trace to the proxy source, and from there, they can only go further if they proxy location is willing to give up their logs. And if the spammer went through another proxy server, they would have to try to obtain their logs as well. There is a great deal of effort into tracing a protected IP and likely will not be performed for something that isn't technically illegal.


And it doesn't have to be the police. Google should be a valid first-go choice to ask for help. Again, if we can find the Proxy source, and tell it to Mahz, if possible we can track him down and try to find a way to make him unable to birth spambots into the guild.

Or alternatively just shut down the guild for awhile and then reopen it till the next wave arrives.

Again, I am certainly at a loss on what one can do.

Not sure if this is the right place for this or not, since I don't normally post problems... but I really would like to fix this one... I was trying to use the dice roller, but the "roll" button never lights up so I can push it.... help? What am I doing wrong?


That goes to the Suggestions/Problems Topic at the bottom of the Home page.

Because someone likely creates an account for each of them.


Which brings me to my next question. Could we trace one of those accounts BACK to the original user? Then again, if he's using one of these "hacks", he/she could've changed the IP number of each account, making it difficult for one to find the source.

Again, if there's any chance that one could contact google (or the police, idk) and ask for their help, MAYBE something can be done. "MAYBE". Not saying it will, just hoping.

That's because it uses other methods, and if it detects irregularities, it forces the user to fill in one of those "puzzles." Here's a link to an article.

Ah yes, I remember.

But if that is in effect in this guild, WHY are SPAMBOTS still coming into the Guild? That is the question of the week. Can you explain this?

<Snipped quote by Lmpkio>

They already are. The "Click to affirm you're not a bot" is an anti-spambot test that detects whether or not a human is operating the computer.


Well I know that... thats what I mean actually, but what I mean is that it can be implamented into when your making a new RP account (I dont know/remember if they were a thing when I signed, but as far as I remember, there isn't).

@Mahz Could CAPTCHA tests be a thing like to complete making a new profile work to prevent spambots from coming in?

(Sorry for repeating myself multiple times, but really, this is completely getting out of hand).
Like seriously... could CAPTCHA tests be a thing like to complete making a new profile work to prevent spambots from coming in?
