I Have Deleted Approx. 40 in past 12 Hours Posted By: jeff stein Date: 9/17/07 13:10 GMT

In Response To: Comparing notes... I've deleted at least... (Chicagoland Chuck Maddox)

I have deleted approx. 40 in last 12 hours, and added 90% of the IP addresses to the list of Banned IP addresses.

Let's see whether the storm breaks; if not, may need to consider "Plan B".

Thanks for continuing effort!!

I just deleted 7-10 more... Mostly in Omega & Counterfeitland... I'm back to adding the IP's to the banned list. I think if we're religious about entering in the IP addresses of known spambot's eventually we'll be able to turn the tide.

I'll renew my efforts to include the IP addresses in the banned list. In fact I just sorted the banned list again.

Notice Notice Notice!!!

This post will serve as notice that if any user all of a sudden can not post or their posts are not showing up, email Jeff or myself. As it probably means that one of us has blocked an IP address close enough to yours to snag your legitimate post in our efforts to nix the spammer. Upon receipt of your email one of us will either eliminate that specific IP block or tune it to allow your posts.

As always, we appreciate everyone's understanding of the fine line we're trying to walk.

Cheers!
