Title: Moderator Reports
Post by: Sands on October 12, 2013, 05:29:07 PM
This is the place for moderators to report their actions. Mostly the bans and the reasons for it, but in case something else happens and has to be reported about, this is the place for it. Deleted posts still go in the post graveyard.

User sedjhwov (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/profile/sedjhwov/) banned for being a spambot and advertising. This post (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/deleted-posts/cheap-coach-bags-certain-names-i-spot-such-as-tata-in-addition/) broke our rules.

User ahakuwp64p (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/profile/ahakuwp64p/) banned for being a spambot and advertising. Post breaking our rules can be seen here (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/deleted-posts/coach-factory-cheap-on-sale-92/).

Looks like we're going to have some spambots these days, so get ready for the ride, folks. We'll see if they get so out of control we need to start preventing them.

Before, we waited for the spambots to actually spam to get rid of them, but seeing that we have few obvious ones, we banned them.

Users vjidjim29x (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/profile/vjidjim29x/), Weekempaniono (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/profile/Weekempaniono/), aqlnpcdgm (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/profile/aqlnpcdgm/) and afpwolbye (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/profile/afpwolbye/) all had IPs that were listed on various spammer lists. They all also had strange names with random strings of letters and numbers, and their emails were about the same with random periods thrown in. Some email addresses were the same but with different amounts of periods. We feel that it was enough proof that they weren't here to talk about tulpas, but to spam us with ads instead.

Users Nurcettenderb (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/profile/Nurcettenderb/), Immucttob (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/profile/Immucttob/), Diexprerbrabs (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/profile/Diexprerbrabs/), LineOpino (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/profile/LineOpino/), sermweepemaip (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/profile/sermweepemaip/) and doockejelsold (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/profile/doockejelsold/) have all been banned for spamming and advertising.

If you actually want to see their spam posts, they should be in the right order: here (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/deleted-posts/pillole-dimagranti/), here (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/deleted-posts/rimedi-contro-i-brufoli/), here (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/deleted-posts/gegen-haarausfall/), here (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/deleted-posts/rimedi-contro-i-brufoli-86/), here (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/deleted-posts/acne/) and here (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/deleted-posts/rimedi-contro-i-brufoli-88/). For your reading pleasure.

I did say that we're going to have some spambots, eh?

I'm taking anti-spam action and banned zA5fR4gG5f (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/profile/zA5fR4gG5f/) for being an obvious spambot and also having its IP listed on spammer IP lists.

User somoCotte (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/profile/somoCotte/)'s IP matches LineOpino's and thus was automatically banned.

User Mypeornarne (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/profile/Mypeornarne/) has been banned for being a spambot. This (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/deleted-posts/rimedi-contro-i-brufoli-89) post broke our rules.

User setbaxams (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/profile/setbaxams/) had a ton of fun and gave us 18 spam posts to take care of, so he was banned. The spam posts have been all put in one thread here (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/deleted-posts/prison-break-the-conspiracy-pobierz-zmbaradpwr/).

Liscougecoste (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/profile/Liscougecoste/) was banned for being a spambot. His spam ad can be seen here (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/deleted-posts/httpwww-akneranking-de/).

User mobPappoemi (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/profile/mobPappoemi/) banned due to being a spambot. This (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/deleted-posts/rosacea/) post broke our rules.

A guest with the name AventeeButh made this (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/deleted-posts/hello-ladies'-man-up-do-my-sites-correspondence-it-if-there-is-not-then-i'm-sorr/) lovely spampost that did absolutely nothing seeing that there is no link. But, searching around, the IP matches that of known spammers, so the IP has been banned.
Title: Re: Moderator Reports
Post by: Sands on September 29, 2014, 04:17:09 PM
Guest user Johnd688 had their IP banned for posting an obvious spam message as can be seen here (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/deleted-posts/re-forum-irc/). They also have their IP on spammer lists, so it seems quite obvious. See how long it took us to start getting some more spam, huh.
Title: Re: Moderator Reports
Post by: Sands on October 01, 2014, 01:24:50 PM
Guest user Pharmb772 had their IP banned for posting a spam message, here (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/deleted-posts/re-forum-irc/msg2936/#msg2936). Also another IP found on known spammer lists. It seems like we're getting some spam from the same person now, so don't worry if you see these guest users post strange things in the forums where they're allowed to post. We'll handle it as fast as we can.
Title: Re: Moderator Reports
Post by: Sands on October 02, 2014, 07:13:18 PM
Guest user Pharme323 banned for pretty much the same reason as the previous guy with an almost identical name, seeing how they're basically the same thing. Their post (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/deleted-posts/re-forum-irc/msg2952/#msg2952) says as much, more spam.
Title: Re: Moderator Reports
Post by: Sands on October 05, 2014, 06:46:45 AM
Guest user Pharme608 also had their IP banned for the usual spam message these guys are giving us. Here (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/deleted-posts/re-forum-irc/msg2972/#msg2972) is their deleted post. I also went ahead and merged all of these posts into a one thread as they seem to be coming back occasionally, so it takes less space this way. That is the reason why I had to modify my earlier posts, as I had to change the link.
Title: Re: Moderator Reports
Post by: Sands on October 06, 2014, 02:43:39 PM
Guest user Pharme354 also had their IP banned because it's the same spambot (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/deleted-posts/re-forum-irc/msg2982/#msg2982). Polite but no go, sorry.
Title: Re: Moderator Reports
Post by: Sands on October 07, 2014, 07:01:05 PM
Our lovable spambot Pharme930 is back and got their IP banned. I'm sure you're tired of these already, huh? But he loves us (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/deleted-posts/re-forum-irc/msg2991/#msg2991).
Title: Re: Moderator Reports
Post by: waffles on October 12, 2014, 03:28:53 PM
I deleted a post off Forum Discussion by hev0 for being spam; if you're interested in converting to Vaishnavism, you can check it out unmolested in Deleted Posts.

I didn't ban hev0, because he's not a spambot and he's largely not on IP abuse lists. But I sent him a reproving message telling him not to do it again.
Title: Re: Moderator Reports
Post by: Sands on December 02, 2014, 08:13:21 AM
There was a little problem with the user Bernd (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/profile/?u=190) due to some lost password stuff and another account contacted me to set it straight. While their IPs didn't match, they could provide information of the Bernd account a normal random person probably wouldn't. That is why I felt that they're most likely speaking the truth.

Still, if someone can match Bernd's IP and claims that it's actually their account, it would be retrieved for the real owner.
Title: Re: Moderator Reports
Post by: Sands on May 20, 2015, 08:22:49 AM
You know what time it is? That's right, spam! Our good friend Pharm* bot is back again, and users Pharme331, Pharmg692 and Pharmd330 had their posts deleted and IPs banned. The spam can be seen here (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/3/re-forum-irc-206/).

I would also ask you to not actually reply to these spambots with a spammy message of your own, as that too is spam and a needless bump others won't understand when the messages before it end up getting deleted.
Title: Re: Moderator Reports
Post by: Sands on May 22, 2015, 02:41:34 PM
Pharmc820 flew too close to the sun and spammed. Same thing as usual (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/3/re-forum-irc-210/), thanks for the encouragement spambot. IP has also been banned as usual.
Title: Re: Moderator Reports
Post by: waffles on May 22, 2015, 03:33:50 PM
Yeah and another one. They say such nice things too. Oh well.
Title: Re: Moderator Reports
Post by: waffles on May 25, 2015, 02:39:00 PM
Some more spambots. This one was interesting, some fairly sensical comments about globalisation and Israeli technology here (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/3/re-subaccounts-switch-account/). Landing those posts somewhere they fit has gotta be a one in a million shot though. Guess this one was a miss.
Title: Re: Moderator Reports
Post by: waffles on June 11, 2015, 10:38:53 AM
Banned another Thai spambot. Sands says they're people too, I disagree. I hope you're happy, Sands.
Title: Re: Moderator Reports
Post by: Sands on October 06, 2015, 08:15:28 AM
User SherylasEr (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/index.php?action=profile;u=235) likes to spam about useless (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/8/where-i-can-get-cheap-xrumer-blogsplugin/) stuff (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/3/how-to-get-torrent-xrumer-12-0-12/msg4149) and pirating is also a no-no. Didn't seem to be too interested in actually doing something else other than spam, so they got banned.
Title: Re: Moderator Reports
Post by: Sands on December 12, 2015, 11:41:02 AM
An IP that registered lots of obvious spambots was banned, so say goodbye to lifrecix (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/index.php?action=profile;u=277), arolSat (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/index.php?action=profile;u=278), ylinokSat (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/index.php?action=profile;u=279), GaramovSat (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/index.php?action=profile;u=280), RMUhadSat (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/index.php?action=profile;u=281), TryasunSat (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/index.php?action=profile;u=282), inarCSat (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/index.php?action=profile;u=283), BlazhenSat (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/index.php?action=profile;u=284) and kpmoiSat (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/index.php?action=profile;u=285).

He's here, after such a short time! Maybe we should give him a name?

Russian is back, so pavanovSat (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/index.php?action=profile;u=311) and bolmir2Sat (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/index.php?action=profile;u=312) were banned as they share the IP and all. vladovSat (http://tulpanetwork.com/network/index.php?action=profile;u=309) also got banned because his signature said it all.

More spambot cleaning. The Russian bots should take a lesson from that one bot that actually managed to post.
Title: Re: Moderator Reports
Post by: Sands on February 16, 2016, 09:42:59 AM
Did some spring cleaning, about a bajillion (official estimate) -pex bots died in the process. There was one that was different, though. I wonder if it was the Russian who was crushing on us earlier?!
Title: Re: Moderator Reports
Post by: Sands on August 09, 2016, 09:22:45 AM
More cleaning, removed bots. There's still some that probably are bots in the list, but they weren't obvious like the rest so hey. Can't be sure.
Title: Re: Moderator Reports
Post by: waffles on August 09, 2016, 12:48:58 PM
I think your standards of "obvious" differ from mine. You can usually tell by the ICQ number ... always knew timethief was a bot.

Post by: Sands on January 06, 2017, 04:51:26 AM
New year, new spambots. For once, a bot actually managed to post something though, look at this post (https://tulpanetwork.com/network/3/cheap-buying-ditropan-online-discount-ditropan-usa-purchase/msg4894/#new).

Post by: Sands on June 16, 2017, 04:35:53 AM
Mildredlorma (https://tulpanetwork.com/network/index.php?action=profile;u=3181) the obvious spambot actually was a spambot, but it was a spambot like no others. It actually tried getting stuff through and succeeded? Even managed to get past how it can't post links in the first message but is able to in the second one. How amazing. Here's the posts (https://tulpanetwork.com/network/8/xevil-3-0-solving-of-captchas-more-than-8400-types/).

Congratulations to Joeyjakkrit (https://tulpanetwork.com/network/index.php?action=profile;u=3239) for being the first spambot in a while to get some posts in (https://tulpanetwork.com/network/3/re-child-prodigy-with-tuppers-269/).

But he's gone now.
