I have a simple solution to this massive problem.

1. Make sure no user gets to post or create thread directly unless he has at least 20 posts. 20 posts will enable comments and 30 posts will enable new threads.

2. Before limit is reached all posts or threads must be approved my mods.

3. If mods find it too difficult then elevate some well known active users here to mods, or better yet create a new status called Approvers or Volunteers if possible. These people need not have full admin/mod rights but the right to approve posts/threads for individual section he/she is responsible for.

Everyone wins, except the spammer.

i agree with this.

need to increase approved posts limit to 10 and implement the idea of volunteers/approvers for such posts.

[vito scalleta]

and he is back..
maybe the only person who can help us is the baba himself ..

you can also add captcha to people whose post count is under 30..
make that a complicated captcha, not one of those click to see if you are a robot

everyone has the same ip! this is a metaphysical lesson in disguise. everybody panic. this is like god punishing man, but it is all the same soul.

So using varnish cache, there are way to get around similar IP issue, I have seen this baba in few other vBulletin forum I look after, he tried 3-4 posts and then went away as new member post are under moderation, this can be achieved here too.

Report any one thread created by spammer. Tagging doesn't help much.

I did report before tagging.

Can the time limit of new users to post between 2 threads in chit chat section be increased to a day or more?

Ok. I didn't see any update on new posts.

I don't have access to admin panel. That can only be done by an admin.

[JojoTheDragon]

[Anorion]

[Cyberghost]

Temporarily stop new registrations with free email IDs like neogaf to stop baba attack

 

[Nerevarine]

nah thats counterproductive, it will hurt us a lot more than it will hurt them
