Let's all welcome TeenLesbianSex to the cellar. I, for one, look forward to her first contribution.

I myself make a mean omelet.

And I do mean "mean".... you'll be crying for hours after you eat it.

A mean omelette should have a strong "second act" ...

xoxoxoBruce 02-29-2008 10:33 AM

French Toast.

Flint 02-29-2008 10:39 AM

Things I learned from my wife, #397:

To make French toast, start with French bread that has gone hard as a rock. It won't turn mushy.

It's getting scary-bad. Here's a screen shot of a Cellar admin page: it's a search for the newest user registrations. I've whited out user info from the three that may -- MAY -- be legit. Notice that all of these are today. There are another twenty from today below that.

It's basically a tsunami of people in third-world countries, attempting to spam.

From this forum....
Quote:

Gmail is an odd one. I block thousands of domains from free email providers in Eastern Europe and other spam-prone countries, but still permit registration from Gmail. A large percentage of the manual spammers that get through use Gmail, but overall a small percentage of users that register with a Gmail address are spammers. Same thing with Yahoo, too, if not more so.

These are the most common domains found in the users I banned. Again, consider that I've already got thousands of domains in the blocklist, so you won't see mail.ru, gawab.com and the usual in this list.

banned / legit (% banned)

163.com: 6 / 14 (30% banned)
aol.com: 9 / 152 (6% banned)
comcast.*: 5 / 80 (6% banned)
gmail.com and variants: 103 / 842 (11% banned)
hotmail.*: 56 / 589 (9% banned)
yahoo.*: 115 / 610 (16% banned)
rediff.com: 3 / 0 (100% banned; since added to the blocklist)
mail.com: 3 / 4 (43% banned)
lycos.*: 3 / 13 (19% banned)
linuxmail.org: 3 / 0 (100% banned; since added to the blocklist)
fastmail.fm 3 / 5 (38% banned)

Gmail, however, is the preferred address of Indian SEO forum spammers, the current plague of my site.

This may change.... apparently the "captcha" (the little graphic with barely readable text that you have to type in to prove you're not a computer program) that Google uses has been cracked, so there may be an uptick in automated gmail spam. At least until they change to a different captcha generator.

DanaC 03-01-2008 12:27 PM

Some of those seem obvious spammers. But how do you know all of them are? The last three for instance.

I understand that some of them are obviously third world...but does that mean they are automatically spam? Also, if their username is potentially not tht of a spammer but their email seems to be of a trader, that could mean they use the same email for trading as they use for personal. Just a thought.

xoxoxoBruce 03-01-2008 02:10 PM

You don't, Dana. That's why it takes so much time to look up their IP to find where they are from, then look up other forums where they have used the same user name or email. Keep in mind, a spammer can't make a living by just breaking into the Cellar. They have to score a bunch of sites and usually work in that manner, meaning they approach a group of sites using the same info.
See if they have registered in a slew of forums in one or two days.
See if they are lying about their location when they registered.
See if they have posted a homepage in their registration and if so what is it? Is it a link to a porn site or are they selling something?
It's often a judgment call, and I try to err in their favor.

Of course if they are a dog, they are automatically in. ;)
