I have an ad in classifieds at the moment and appear to be getting spammed via that.

Seems like the forum needs a reCaptcha service to detect automated posts

What is with the telephone number for India? Does clicking on a link automatically get a text or phone call made from your phone?

I tend to drop blocks of ip netks on the perimeter before it hits the load balancer/firewall. It's possible to block all the Indian ISP netks for instance but depends what business your in.

Today's spammer joined on 21st November and left it until today to dump his st here. Early hours of the morning so fewer mods about to deal with it too.

This might not be the right place to discuss it, but why,? What are they hoping to achieve as surely no one clicks on these, or is it to try and slow the site?

Those bds are at it again. I really can't be bothered to search for the genuine stuff.
We'll chat in a few hours when the mods wake up.

Are you sure if the IP does bounce on this spammer, or was that just a guess previously? Still seems a fairly obvious fix.

Another load today.

(Do you have any moderators based in other countries/time zones or are you keeping it a strictly British operation?)
