Hah hah,
It's funny to see how angry a SPAMMER can get when you find them out :evil:
Now - let me see - addressing a few issues here, I *think* I have an idea...
First regarding Trevor's wonderfully 'true' comments:
the vermin that plague hyperspace in general and clog up the Internet with their millions of unwanted piles of trash.
I couldn't put it better - spammers have cost my business considerably in the last 5-7 years, and especially in the last 2 years, getting
rid o fthese vermin (think of mice, rats, locusts, or any other type of VERMIN), you need a good
'EXTERMINATOR'!!!!!Here's a few answers from my 'exterminator dictionary':
1.) I have no provisions for restricting support and not a license (although it would be pretty easy to delete the forum user)...
That sounds good - step one - DELETE THEM, remove their accounts from these forums.
We don't need any more 'VERMIN' hanging around our forums, step one setup traps, get rid of as many as you can... reminds of when I had mice in the house, the best way to get rid of them - TRAP/KILL them off as fast as you can (and I'm an animal rights activist, I tried trapping and releasing in the wild, it didn't work), the faster you can get rid of them, and as MANY as you can get rid of - the better!
2.) If I delete the entire account do I refund the client or do it without warning?
Remove without warning - BYE BYE :twisted:
3.) I think a TOS will need to be forced upon all members upon their next login and then I will be in a better position to restrict services... Until then all I can really do is provide "slower" support...
You've seen what my exterminator dictionary says above... here's a suggestion -
BUILD IT IN TO LMP - how? Like this, put it IN to the code in the mailer to LOOK for multiple SIMILAR SOUNDING Email addresses queued up all at once, just look above, it's obvious this is SPAM - ALL of the names are similar, one after the other, so have a check in LMP, if it sees this coming through - the program SHUTS OFF, and locks up, CAN NOT PROCESS, give a cryptic message, who cares... just shut them off....
Then, encrypt your PHP code so no one can get a hold of the source, this is long overdue, you can use something like Zend or Ioncube to do the encryption: all files are uploaded as binaries, the source I believe is encrypted using these methods?
That should solve it ....
:twisted: Out, OUT You Demons and Devils!!!! :twisted:
