Spammers' IPs - Time to Fight Back

[Moonbat]

Reserving for future use

[Ezekiel]

These IP addresses are mostly going to be in use by new ISP accounts now, so I think a good idea would be to put the spammer's username, IP address and time of spam on each row instead of just scanning and attempting to exploit/DoS attack them (or whatever anyone plans to do with them). This way we prevent people doing anything to IP addresses that have long since been re-assigned, and we keep a record of which IP address was tied to which username at a certain time.

I strongly disagree with those that contact police over forum postings (the Internet isn't for anyone to regulate and free speech should remain), but if the spam was pertaining to criminal activities (e.g. ****** card fraud), the forum would then have a record of the perpetrators' actions and IP address.

Good luck with fight back but i'm not sure of it will help at all.

Mostly of them use proxy servers, they never take a look into any forums because they use automatic submission software that allow them to submit post to *000 forums using weakness of forums (phpBB, vbuletin, Invision Power ***rd etc...).
The best thing is to install some mods that will fight against it.
Because i run phpBB can not help a lot with vbulletin but they have for sure some mods that will help fight back.
