I'm curious how and why so much spam is appearing in the forum. Never seen it before and now its almost daily. Does this indicate some lapse in maintenance or security on the part of administration?

Good quality Syrian rue (Peganum harmala) for an incredible price!

I believe that the same person that was spamming with Xanax purchasing sites two weeks ago posted the new spam threads today. Even if he isn't, I don't think it's a problem with security. You can't possibly know what people register in the Nexus.

One way of dealing with that would be to not allow new members to post in the forum at all before they've submitted the entire questionnaire, and even then if they're persistent enough they can spend 20 minutes answering the questionnaire and proceed to post their spam threads. That could also rule out any legit members that have a short fuse and lack of patience and want to just come, ask their question and leave.

As popularity grows it's bound that we'll have such people more and more often. Whether there is an adequate way to deal with that or not, we must leave to Trav and the mods to decide.

Peace. Love

It's partly to do with opening registration to any time, whereas before it was restricted to the weekends only.

The question is to a large extent whether the mods are happy with this ongoing game of whack-a-mole, and whether we need to apply further tactics to minimise this kind of annoyance, which I feel rather detracts from the forum.




“There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work."
― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli

Trav has some things in place to help lessen the brunt of these things. It's not full or near perfect, never will be. Will always be cat and mouse unfortunately. All good though. Not a huge deal as far as security goes tbh. Just don't click on them when they show up (and don't hover your cursor over the links). Razz

I've noticed that they always seem to be selling stuff that is'nt even interesting from a psychonautic point of view. Sleeping pills, viagra, xanax.

They don't seem to realise that in spite of all their desperate efforts, they've probably never sold a single item to anyone here. Laughing

I really don't think there's a person behind. Bots become better and better, and once it found a forum, where it can register, it will try again and again.

The standard captchas are basically useless with modern bots with Neuronal networks. They can solve all standard questions better than most humans...
I claim not that this is the truth. As this is just what got manifested into my mind at the current position in time on this physical plane. So please feel not offended by anything I say.

Maybe a good idea would be to have a 12-48 hour wait purgatory time after creatingn an account before you are allowed to post .. doesnt bother me much anyways though.

Maybe.

But then some algorithm must have decided to target the wrong crowd.

If i would wanted to sell xanax, i would go to anxiety-related forums. For sleeping pills i would go to insomnia forums or sites that are especially being visited at night. And for selling viagra, i would go to sites for pensioners or people with medical problems like low blood pressure.

The logic seems to be "DMT=drugs=pills...these people want pills, any pills".

Yeah it's pretty stupid they're even spending the time to do it.

Cialis is pretty awesome stuff though, won't lie. Razz

Yeah, my thoughts too! I don't know, I'm running up on a half-century in this world June the 23rd,19Sixtyever-lovingnine baby!!!-first thing i saw on TV was the moon landing-there's pictures), and i really think some of the drugs we talk about in here have negated any need for the drugs they are talking about there!


Although I'd really like to know if anyone has ordered and who!?! Stop


...and what?!!Can you see any traffic Trav? Twisted Evil

A bot really doesn't care about the specific audience. It just tries to find forums and then to register there, and post its spam. Any intelligence to detect the specific audience of the forum is useless. In the worst case, noone will buy anything. A bot doesn't care about the seconds he needed...
