Kill the Spammer

greenspun.com : LUSENET : People Photography : One Thread

That's the second time that jerk has spammed us in a week...if it happens again, I'll ask for some help on how to keep him from doing it any more...

Unfortunately LUSENET isn't the full AD discussion forum where you can block on IP addresses and other things...

For the moment, I think we just have to live with it and delete them as they come. I just nuked a chain letter. If it gets out of hand, then I may write another little perl script to try and reduce it (but it would never catch 100%).

(PS: I've changed the category on this thread to 'Admin' -- should probably also have reduced the expiration time but never mind...)
