Man I love that spam detection system. It was coded within about 10 minutes, but it still works like wonders.

Haha, that is great.

I think there might be a flaw in your system, though. I don't know if it's in your anti-spam system or your banning system, though. I really don't know how to find out, though.

I think I forgot to impliment a safety check in the mall system. You can enter negative values when buying stuff. LMAO, whover did that did restock my mall's shelves though.

But it did come with a heafty price tag.

What? Was that in response to me?

No... What I'm talking about is I was checking you spam-ban logs a while back. I think one of the spammers is still coming here, actively. I have to do further investigation, though. One of your systems is definetly flawed, though.

Oh ok, well I did unblock a ton of IPs too, and spammers I tend to unblock them after a while as the IP filter database just gets cluttered with all their attemps and stuff.

And the scada alarm viewer is messed right now, I changed the format of the alerts so it screws up the text database, but I may just remove that completely as I never look at it anyway, I just go by the emails.

Well, because of dynamic IPs, how easy it is to change your IP, and proxy servers, IP banning is flawed, anyways.

I would know, I couldn't tell you how many times I have went back on sites after multiple bannings and IP bannings. The GTA Place, I have been banned beyond count and now I'm a "Forum Security"((tiny mix between Admin and Global Mod)). AND they even know who I am. Did it at GTAWH, also, came back without even knowing what I had done((I had to reset my modem and somewhere that changed my IP)), and acted all normal. No one questioned me, either. And I'm a mod there now, too. It's like EVERY message board I get banned from, I come back, and become a mod. I'm just so cool like that.

Yeah it's near impossible to ban someone permanently since it's so easy to change IP, even if you block the whole ISP you can just use a proxy.

One thing I've always thought would be cool is to somehow trigger an ARP that gets the user's MAC address so you could block by MAC address, but can't find a way for that to be possible to do past a router. MACs can be changed but it's much harder. But you can't just get the MAC server side since the only MAC you'll get is the last router the frame hit.
