Spam and IP banning

[MrWookie47]

The micro forum (and probably everyone else) has been getting a rash of spam with the following text:

[ QUOTE ]
Playing on UB? get 31% rakeback. www.instantrake.com/faq

[/ QUOTE ]

I've been banning the users one at a time, but since it's all the same site, it's likely that it's all the same person. I haven't figured out how to look up the IP address of a user, though. How do I do that so I can ban an IP, or has someone already looked into this?

[Mat Sklansky]

I'll keep track and see if it's someone with a static ip

[MrWookie47]

Do you want me to supply you w/ the names of the people Greg and I've banned so far, or can you get that info on your own?

Last saturday and sunday I banned a bunch of these guys also. Some were already banned when I went to ban them. I wish I would have kept a list though. But, they were all advertising instantrake.com.

A list would speed things

UB support just keeps getting worse and worse.

Although, it was never very good to begin with.

I should keep a list of who i ban, and why. Most are spammers though.

This is from this post:

Names (most I banned):
GoldDigger
ChipsNChips22
franktheshrank
pokerstars05
pokerAAAA

Sorry that's all I got right now. There have been more.

Mike, seriously dude. It's party! What did you expect? [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

[Mike Haven]

they may be Party support-staff rejects, but it's actually UB and i expected better, for some reason

must be because i think of it as Phil's site, and he is the man
