There's this dude who's been constantly pasting stuff from the CPAN Perl archives - big chunks of them unscrupulously. I've weeded out all his posts and banned him. But he keeps coming back with a new nick everytime. I'll see how far he goes and then ban his IP.

So far his nicks have been: Jefferyssite, Jefferyssite2 & Jefferyssite3 - he's either as thick as a brick or that's the image he's trying to portray. Dunno which.. but I've never seen a bigger idiot who wants to spam but everytime comes back with the same nick with a new nuumber added to it. He's received a combined warning of maybe 200% on all his nicks. Keep a watch out for him.

So far his IP's have been:
1. 205.204.242.23 - Jefferyssite & Jefferyssite3
2. 207.246.110.98 - Jefferyssite2


I've mailed his ISP already.

Thanks for the tip, I'll keep an eye out. O[aQue, would it be possible to implement a search feature for the staff to allow us to search for IP addresses? Also, m^e, how do you find out which ISP he has?

Goto My controls from the menu on top of this board (same row as My Assistant) and there should be an option there for member lookup. You can enter a nick or partial nick and it'll show you the IP addresses used by that nick to login.

Next goto http://www.dnsstuff.com and you'll find hundreds of tools there to figure out ISP, DNS etc. etc. Simply use the IP(s) there to figure out which ISP.

Would it be better to use a admin-activation system for new accounts? That way you can control the amount of new-spammers better

That'd blowup the workload like anything plus even in that way how would you know that the guy is a spammer till you haven't approved his account and let him post for a while ??? And most spammers are not uncouth idiots like this one and wont come back with nicknames in series.
