Whole bunch of IPs definitely suggests a botnet. We are still getting hit periodically.

This is kind of an interesting read (especially the part about Bayesian Poisoning):

http://www.embergaming.us/index.php?thr ... tempt.153/

read the article , interesting thing, and "[quote:zpxvak9n]Bayesian poisoning is a technique used by spammers. Because modern day software that are powered by the Web 3.0 framework are increasingly smarter at blocking spam, spammers try to cause the spam filter to have a higher false positive rate by turning previously innocent words into known spammy words. "

seems to be a web3.0 framework, problem, of all the websites and forums this days, maybe update the frame or downgrade it? .....will it even, solves the issue? just and idea...

What the hell are Scirra doing? I need some feedback and it's been buried under a mountain of spam !

Phaeton, we're doing our best to remove the spam as it shows up -- believe me, we don't like this anymore than you do.

Would enabling some kaptcha before posting solve it (for a while)? until it settles down or resolved another way?

I can't really get the point of the spams, they are not selling anything, there is no real links. It's in incomprehensible korean characters. It's not flooding the forums enough to make them go down. Why? for the love of god.... whyyyy would anyone make a bot like this? 21st century practical joke?

Block any post on this forum containing korean characters?

As you probably have already thought of ......

would be to limit the number of tutorials any member can make to one a day,

and don't let newbies post tutorials at all for the first 2 weeks.

and do a similar thing thing with forum posts, ie: limit forum posts to 2 a day for newbies.

that would at least limit the mop up after turds like this do stupid stuff.

Anyway, good luck

In the meantime I am turning off notifications ....

looks like Korean

We already have a captcha on the registration form. Spammers pay people to solve captchas to work around it.

The tutorials have the same problem!!!

For people having issues with the mailing spam due to newly tutorials being posted, please consider temporarily unsubscribing and check newer tutorials manually until we get the spamming issue fully resolved.

Thanks.

It's a real spam-bomb. I have already deleted tens of mails regarding new spam-tutorials... And they keep coming...

Dear:

I am getting a huge number of notifications of tutorials.

When you open the link nothing appears.

What's going on?

I receive more than 40 emails daily.
