spammers - fireb4llz - 02-02-2012
I took notice that the past 5-7(actually more than that) or so people we've banned from the forum because of spamming, all have the same IP. I think its just some random polish dude canstantly making more accounts or something. Anyway could we IP ban him or something ? Not sure if thats possible but hopefully it is.

Hey, going to give a little input to where I could help.
IP changing is extremely easy, IIRC, so that won't stop him if he knows anything.
I also doubt he's making and buying more accounts, more likely he cracks minecraft accounts... I'd look up all the accounts on MCBans, sometimes crackers target users there, since most crackers have a feature to steal account usernames from MCBans.
How do I know this? Personally, I don't crack accounts, but I've seen people doing it on hackforums whilst looking for Java programming help.

It doesn't really surprise me that people would use MCBans to brute force account passwords, but I think Fire was talking about spamming on the forums. =P
So... they don't really need to do any of that... they just make a new free account here to get around it, lol.

I know for a fact how and why people crack mc accounts. Also from HackForums.
I will look up for some plugins we can use to help prevent this. I do remember reading about some minecraft server plugin which connects to some forum software.
EDIT: Found this one. It could be exactly what we need. http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/web-admn-forumacc-v1-5-server-forum-activation-phpbb-mybb-1060.19926/
