blocked!

Post: # 2649Post drib »

If you get this message on any of the drib critic web pages:

BLOCKED! (###.###.###.###)

... where the pound sign is your IP address, you probably can't read this page, so what's the point?

Well, maybe you usually can access the page, but you're away on vacation.

In order to keep spammers off my sites, I block many countries from accessing them. There are fewer countries that are not blocked, so I'll just list those.

Australia
Belgium
Bolivia
Brunei
Canada
Chile
Congo
Costa Rica
Denmark
Finland
France
Germany
Greece
Hong Kong
Ireland
Israel
Japan
New Caledonia
New Zealand
Norway
Puerto Rico
Spain
Sweden
Switzerland
United Kingdom
United States
Vatican City

Sometimes the country predictor makes mistakes, but generally, it's pretty accurate. Anyway, if this happens to you, just write to the admin - there will be a link in addition to the message above - and I'll white-list your IP, maybe just temporarily.

Since I implemented this, there are far fewer spammers on the board.

blocks by email address

Post: # 2666Post drib »

I feel badly this morning because I accidentally blocked and deleted a new user. It was my mistake, and I think it happened because I was in a pithy mood dealing with several new users, who were clearly spammers, whom I blocked and deleted at the same time.

I don't use email addresses to block anyone on my own coded pages. However, this is a PHPBB message board, and blocking a new user by email is a thing. I can block a full email or I can block a pattern email. I'm only going to show you the pattern emails because there are a lot of them and I think it's interesting.

I put it in quotes because some of those addresses might cause a problem if emailed by DCRD.

Note that there are another 300 or so that are full email address.

Also note the gmail patterns at the top. Early on, there were a lot of spammers that would use gmail but have multiple chunks, deliminated by dots. I suppose there are some legitimate gmail address with more than three chunks, but I don't know of any, and only my dog sitter has three.

Another observation about spammers is that their user names often end with three characters, like "Dap" or "Fop."

And that was just another sad story about Life on the Internets.
