I don't think I'd be inclined to consider the web master at Matrix Games much of an opponent, if they can't cope with a typical spammer.

Look at the situation from a different angle, rather than prevent them from coming HERE, why not get rid of the HERE to come to?
The spammer is spamming ONLY the General Discussions forums. So, eliminate the destination. Eliminate General Discussions utterly. Copy the data that is present, create a new section, dump the data in the new section. The spammers would no longer have the destination to come to.

I don't KNOW that this would actually work.
But I DO know that whatever it is the site's web master IS doing, isn't worth squat.

So in order to browse last weeks top threads then you just go back 150 pages. Sad really.

Status: offline 		Hmm. I'm curious if Matrix is going to implement some sort of preventive measures against it now. Hopefully any preventive measures would involve maybe limiting posting abilities of new accounts or something? Or maybe bringing on some extra mods would be in order as Zakblood points out. It sounds like someone out there has some sort of personal vendetta against the forum.

I noticed it Sunday afternoon before the last spammer.

I think you should stop Chickenboy from posting in order to try and raise the average quality of the posts around here....

No! Josh should not be restricted - he should be banned; he's Dutch for goodness sake - and personally I suspect he is responsible for Dubai escorts and other such spam attacks over the last few days.

I vote we put it to the test. Next time he shows up on the forum, ask him a question, referring to him as Nishakhan. I bet any money he responds....

Voila 100% proof that he is the spammer.... and Dutch.

I'm sorry Zorch, I do not believe you: a) you're a naval history buff and b) you are not Dutch. Ergo and theretofore - It can't be you.

You're no fun anymore (to steal a phrase).
Regarding naval history, I do like Friedman's book.

Thank you, kind sir. I'm so proud of that, I can't even say.

A quick question, if I may? What in the **** are you talking about? "Tide porn"?

ETA: How in the **** did you leapfrog my post number? Attention Matrix security! SPAMBOT [points to Warspite1]!!! SPAMBOT!!!

I can't believe you don't remember

I forget how it came about but it involved you posting a chart of tides around Palaus(?). There followed a series of posts between us about the wonders of tidal patterns in that part of the world.
