How do I add a spammer to the list?

XtremeCarZone · 2008-11-23 1:37 pm

I have a key. I've been tracking this little t*rd for some hours and did a google on him. Bad mother if I have done my home work correctly and understand what I have found.

Please advise

Edit

Ok found it on the email you guys sent me. Sorry about that

I want to make sure I have this correct before I add this sucker to the list.

Can I discuss him here and post his IP here for you guys to coinfirm before I add it to the list.

First time I would have done this and do not want to screw up.

Please advise

Thanks
XCZ

It's really self-explanatory. Go to the Add a Spammer web page then simply enter this info:

Thanks. It was finding the page that I had the problem with but all good now. Many thanks

Ok

First a little back ground. I monitor my visitors quite often and check their IPs, which I can see live, against the data base here and then if no hit here I do a google on the IP. The idea is stop them before they even get a chance to start registering.

Indications of a potential spammer are them viewing the same topic for a long period of time. Especially ones that I know has no post in them.

So whilst doing that this evening, Australia time, I picked up this IP
64.1.215.162 . No hit here on ya list but when I googled it, well have a look for yourselves. Now corrcet me if I'm wrong, as I'm very new at this, but from what i read on all the topics listed on google.... SPAMMER, yes????

I would say no. IMO, this is just a webcrawler, just like Google or Yahoo! and webcrawlers (or spiders) are sent to index your web site. Letting webcrawlers index your web site helps you get a better ranking.

64.1.215.162 Host -> crawl-6.cuill.com

Cuil is a new search engine, I believe.

No problem, I am always suspicious too and this is some of the stuff I had to learn along the way.

Just make sure you tell the webcrawlers/spiders/bots where they are free to go though via a robots.txt file. I think you can find some info in here by searching for the robots.txt file and through Google as well. A rogue webcrawler will not listen to that file and there's nothing you can do about it, but cuilbots, googlebots and yahoo!bots will listen to it.

Just an FYI, the following allows you to check the following databases to see if an IP, e-mail or username belongs to a spammer;

http://www.stopforumspam.com/forum/p219 … 3A02#p2196

- Sorbs*
- Spamhaus*
- DSBL*
- fSpamlist
- StopForumSpam

* IP checking only obviously

This is a good read to learn about that robots.txt file
