Cool, good idea. Looks like he did ~130 spam posts in 18 days, and ~30 in the last 2 days. So I dunno, maybe he doesn't belong as part of the aforementioned shill group, but it's a spam account nonetheless.

Yeah I think sneako and ed are very likely the same person, one disappeared right as the other arrived, and they do the exact same thing. Just more fake personas among hundreds of fake personas, but at this point it's not really fooling anyone. They use the exact same playbook of attack methods, and that always gives it away. :)

Yes and it seems to be a manual spammer that occasionally uses the scripts. I am almost certain he would be 1 step ahead of these lists, because the lists form in reaction to the activity which is always first, and his IPs are not limited to any range and change with each request. It's whack-a-mole

That is the benefit to using these actively maintained lists is that some other bot or person is updating the lists but yea it is never going to be perfect. Especially if it is a manual spammer. Should help against big bot spam scripts though.

The poor canary had a sad and lonely death, squatters took over the household and starved it while they plucked it's feathers out one by one.

In the end the squatters nailed it to a cross and let the housecats attack it while the squatters praised the cats and ridiculed the poor bird.

The squatters never had a funeral, they just threw the canary in the toilet and flushed it down. Then the squatters gave the house cats the same treatment.

The squatters never left and have now taken over the neighborhood, there are no pets left in the neighborhood and they plan to start attacking the other inhabitants of the neighborhood. They will pick on the weak ones first, like all bullies do. Eventually there will be no original inhabitants left.

The squatters are the virus that start all wars and imprison those that refuse to play their games. They now run this Saidit neighborhood that once supported freedom of speech but it now just a data collection point for the three-letter agencies.

They just keep taking on different IP addresses until they find one that works. I actually built a system that auto-detects spam accounts and blocks their IP, but they change IP literally every single request, to a completely different IP in a different country. It's indistinguishable from regular traffic, especially since so many saidit users use vpns. It's a good idea, but at best it would only reduce the spam by half at most, and probably only for a few months until they find IPs that work and then it'll be back to normal. I used to block huge IP ranges and whole countries back 4 years ago or so, but it literally did nothing after a few days. The person or group generating most of the spam can mimic any IP address, they're not just using VPNs. Literally the only solution seems to be to look at what they post and ban them for that, but that's exactly the game of whack-a-mole we've been doing for months.

Most forums get around this by having paid staff that reviews all new things posted and they hand out user bans constantly. We have volunteers working at their leisure... which means we will never be able to control the spam unfortunately. It is what it is.

Then they will just use USA VPNs and be right back at it in a few hours, and we will have blocked a lot of the global freedom of speech this site is intended for. So I don't see this as being a positive move in the long run, but I appreciate the idea.

If by soldiers of satan you mean the kiwi farms doxer/stalker/swatter bunch of monsters, you are correct. :D They're probably also the reason for a warrant. Although, this would be needed to verify a range of IP addresses someone would tend to use around the time of a crime they're trying to prove, which would be essential if they're using a set of proxies. Generally the crime would be severe enough to justify the time, effort, irritation, and cost to connect all the data points.

The good news is, modern forensics is good enough that you can amass a ton of data on a prolific swatter/doxer, and put the little shit away for 5-10 years on the first go round. Darknet Diaries goes into how a lot of these people got busted. Mainly because they think this is the 90s, and the cops are clueless. Mostly true, until you've got enough crime associated to your range of names and voice print/hash to draw in the big guns.

You can try block some of the known lists which are maintained. That can help + the country blocks. Also if you have pfsense and anti-ddos protection it can help against ddos if you have enough bandwidth like at ovh for example.

Here is a quick procedure on how to do it.

  1. login to cloudflare
  2. choose your domain
  3. On left side window click "Security"
  4. On the drop-down window under security click WAF
  5. Make a new rule to block some countries.

On my site I block China, Korea North, Ukraine, Russian Federation, Tor, Brazil, Singapore

There is a drop down list of countries that make it easy, once you figure out who to block.

And because this place is now infiltrated with the soldiers of satan.

I can only assume it's because they did at some point receive a subpoena, court order, national security letter or something of the sort. I'm not particularly concerned since I assume the government is watching on any clearnet website anyway.

Why doesn't the site ban the obvious spam and bot accounts on here? by Mcheetah in SaidIt

I try to ban anyone who's spamming ads in the forums I moderate, but that info doesn't get cross-referenced to the other forums. It would be useful if it were.

I offered quite a while back to pay for someone to program some better site-wide moderation tools, but it seems Mag7 doesn't trust giving anyone that level of access to the site lest it get hijacked like Reddit. And since D3rr is gone, we don't have anyone to turn to on the technical front.

When you ban them they make different names and then you have to find them again.

This is why Phooey quit and Vulptex was saying that but he didn't get it.

I was made moderator of two accounts, s/Saidit and s/AskSaidIt, and I remove a lot of spam posts and try to block the bot accounts (because they'll just keep coming back daily; I've seen it happen) but I can't remove them from the site entirely. I've never blocked a human account on here, and unless someone is hardcore trolling me in my own sub, I don't intend to.

Posting here is useful for SEO ranking though (the links are not marked as "no-follow"). That would be actually an easy fix which would disadvantage at lease some spammers. But m7 is more of a sysadmin than web dev, so ...

I saw a bunch get removed from earlier. Whenever I see obvious spam I just report it and hopefully makes it easier on whoever is trying to get a handle on it. I'm sure they're not watching 24/7 obsessively like the typical reddit mod.

They are banned. They come back under new names. We don't have a sophisticated system for pre-emptively blocking them.

And like another user said, new accounts should be limited to how much they can post in a single day.

Maybe that would be a net positive, but it would have a chilling effect on actual new people. When you show up to a forum for the first time and post a few things and then it says "no more," you tend to kinda move on and forget about that forum.

You'd think that one of the benefits of saidit having relatively few visitors
would be that it would make it not worth the money spamming it.

But the problem is, those two people will keep on making new accounts. It's like this on a lot of websites. Plenty of people will just use a VPN or tor to create new accounts.

Same with replies.
And it can only grow when it is actually used.
Maybe with "leveling"? Like after 1 month AND 20 posts/replies -> 2 more replies&posts available. More after 2 months and 40 posts/replies.
Admins should be able to unlock this restriction for people that modded a sub on reddit and that was banned recently, for their own sub(s).

I went to India last month. I was told I was in the tech sector for a few by my coworker there. I told him I was on a mission for saidit to find the streetshitters that were spamming about Darshan Handiballs, he proceeded to tell me he can't do business with me anymore if I don't shut the fuck up. I told him his handle was probably socks and for him to shut the fuck up.

He said, "Who the fuck is socks and what is saidit you fucking assclown." SO.....I lost my supplier for a very large portion of my company because I was trying to help saidit. I'm gonna have to sell my house.

Would also be good to disallow any url shortener links as those are always spam. And only allow one or two links to the same site per day would be good too. A lot of spam bots link to the same site over and over.
