Our most illustrious bot/wannabe spammer yet: in the last 24 hours "it" has tried to register 58,947 times!

[LordEoin]

I'm sure it comes in peace

[Will_D]

It can't read either! Though you wouldn't believe the amount of humans that get caught out by this too.

It caught me out !!

[johnrm]

fn thing caught me out for ages.
Damn secret handshakes.  :

[LordEoin]

Now that I see it again I remember my frustration!

[imark]

block his address and he might move on

[Eoin]

Would you believe this fucker has tried 104,592 times to register now. Between this one and one in Ukraine they've clocked up almost 147,000 failed attempts to register.

Jaysus that's a rake of attempts, he must be some typist.

[Ciderhead]

Would it not be more fun to let him in and then throw him out unless he is bringing something that is going to make us itch?

[Eoin]

Yeah, and there's no point really in blocking individual IP addresses as they change the whole time. Now if I could block whole counties, that would be useful!

Why not block the netblock he's using, it will penalise people in that part of Germany, using the same ISP, but not the whole country. You could block the domain name.

Maybe ignore requests for say 15mins after 5 failed attempts. That way you wouldn't have to block IP and it would work on other bots too.

We have loads of people on here who when asked,"what you do",they reply,   "I'm in IT", .  Well some of ye IT guy's watch the muuvies dont ye,so why not create a mega computer killing virus that we can send back down the line and cause their computer to re-modify itself,borg style and it could produce weapons and go and attack them.
