SpritesMind.Net

Hi all,

since 29 May 2013, Spritesmind is under attack
A spam bot create several members per day with nothing but website.
No post so no ip to ban....
I had to find how it did this but I also need to clean the member list...

I discover some spam users were also created before this time.
So, I'll need to do a major request to clean them :

ALL USERS WITH A WEBSITE ON THEIR PROFIL AND NO POST WILL BE DELETED WITHIN A WEEK

It's the only way I had to be sure to clean everything...
But for now, I had to find the exploit it's using...

ps: thanks a lot to Graz !

...Hello; longtime reader, first time poster. And to think it took this for me to finally post something.

I mainly signed up here cause I was curious how far beyond its limits MegaDrive/Genesis hardware and its add-ons (Sega/MegaCD and Genesis/Super32X) could be pushed. The many programming geniuses, including Chilly Willy, DJCouchyCouch and Nemesis to name a few do NOT dissapoint!

I am NOT a Bot, in fact, I experienced a similar thing months ago on Project 2612, bad enough that I volunteered to try to help weed the suckers out. It got so bad that I suggested to the founder to disable new Forum Regging until further notice. The Spambots have not come back since.

Anyways, keep this site awesome, dude!

Hi all,

I just deleted almost half of the members...
Sure it was a huge attack

I made some change to avoid this happens again but if you ever notice something strange, just send me a PM !

Time to get back to my Dad life, bye

Hooray ! Less (potential) spam, less worry

Genesis development is for when the baby sleeps.

...and seems there's infiltration of defenses...

yes...it's always when you're not available than problems occur

pakistan black listed, I'm tired to fight with spammers from this country
