Of all the sites to spam, why here? It's not like we have a million visitors everyday for them scam off.
It does not mater where, as long as the website is trawled by search engines for results. The advertisement target is the search results rather than specifically targeting people here. Search for certain key words and all that search engines will return are advertisements. That is why the grammar in such adverts is strange as they try to pack as many "key words" as possible to expose it to as many search queries as possible.
The sudden rise would be some exploit found with the Curse account creation system as a rough guess.
Another day another day SPAM BOTS are busy and MODs are sleeping !!!
Do you want to do it? Be my guest, you can mindlessly spend a portion of every fucking day repeating the same 5 clicks over and over. I'd gladly give the position up to you. We're not sleeping, we're all getting tired of fighting a pointless war. I check the site multiple times a day, and every single time I come over here there's at least 5 different accounts spamming over multiple boards. I just can't be fucking arsed spending time every single day.
I banned all the bots and gave them individual ban messages:
Alright Curse:
Let me demonstrate
why we need CAPTCHA
on Sc2Mapster.
As you can see
bots are running
completely amock
on the site
and me and the
other mods are getting tired of it.
Us having to deal with this
unnecessary shit
is fucking unfair.
Either drop the site
or back us up.
But wait there's more!
Just in case
you still weren't convinced.
Sincerely, Mozared.
That should show up nicely in the log. Guess I found a way to make this fun!
I think Mozared said that in a moment of passion and hopelessness. As we feel lots of passion for SC2mapsters and hopelessness of CURSE doing SHT about maintaining the site. I open the site at 10am GBT and I find the site full of SHT in the front page and dates that go back to 2012.
So HELL, no wonder Mozared is piss I feel the same way!
Title^ ^ 3 pages of spam in general forums, wtf.
Still alive and kicking, just busy.

Add moderator preview to the first post of new accounts. Problem solved.

The mods here are the real MVPs. Why is there even so much spam here!

Spam bots make the forum look active on paper. Just sayin'.

I don't think that works... At least it doesn't to me. I've never once received a single report. I usually just clean them up on sight...
You do not want to see the bot activity on the new wiki.

I fully support! Delete the site or just throw us one bone!!!
I think deleting the site is a pretty bad idea lol.
Firstly, yes, I agree better measures need to be put into place
Secondly, CAPTCHAs are ineffective, known to do little, but better then nothing.
Thirdly, deleting the site will solve nothing.
Fourthly, if we are to burn that bridge, then please do have a transition plan in place first, of hosting, infrastructure and migration of all data.
Finally, if at possible, maybe the addition of more moderators? I do not know if that is possible, but many hands make for little work.

I also too can use a good deal on a Kitchen! :-)
