Porn Spam on OOTP League Forums?

Shorty · 04-18-2004, 11:09 PM

The JBL recently had 4 new members sign up on their forums, all with crazy names with websites directed to porn. Swaggs says the RWBL had the same names join recently. I checked the ATHL forums, and their are 15 signees that have links to porn.. here's a link: http://www.ootp-leagues.com/mbs/athl...regdate&page=2

#64-78... anyone else on the server getting stuff like this?!

Yep... been getting them on the CBL server, although I just delete them.

I suspect someone has a script of some sort setup...

I noticed about 2 or 3 weird names pop up as new members at the USBA forums. I didn't see any posts from them though.

I think most message boards stop it by having you type in a word that's displayed on an image when you register (preventing scripts from just signing up people). The OLS boards don't have that right now, unless Andreas can come up with something.

That would be them...
