BEWARE "Sneaky Spam" !!

[farscapeone]

Just a thought. Would it be easy to just exclude white color? I mean if you can't use white color for text then there's no problem, right? Who use white text anyway?

We used it for a while as a joke in http://forums.x10hosting.com/forum-games/58657-new-biggest-thread.html but stopped after we concluded that people might think we're up to something malicious.

With different forum themes, the white color may be seen. , It may be a use in the near future if x10 ever changes the forum's theme.

On one of the forums I moderate I've been banning spam bots left and right. I have yet to miss a Sneaky Spam as besides banning them, I blow away every single bit of information and post in their account (Ctrl + A + Backspace on all forms). When it comes down to it, I report Zombied IP addresses to the ISP in charge if it shows to be a heavy spam IP and it's one I come across often (I keep a .txt file of such IP addresses).

OK folks, here's a new example of some real "Sneaky Spam" (check it out quick, before someone decides to delete it) ;

If his post isn't there any more when you read this, the following is his text - it looks fairly innocuous & people didn't notice it (I won't reproduce the hidden links he included) ;

"Really great! This is I need. thank all eveyone 4 shared !"

....thats just wrong to take advantage of forums like that.

Despite your bold claims, it was yourself & Twinkie who posted after the spammer, & didn't even notice that his post was spam!

I get spam posts like that on my blog all the time, with seemingly "useful" comments, but then a bunch of garbage after that. I usually can't understand the garbage, similar to how I can't in that post. I usually end up just stripping the whole thing of links so whoever is spamming doesn't get linkbacks from my site.
