This has been a headache to battle, here’s a bit of background information. I run a community that has a tremendous amount of hype built around it. We have well over a million people tracking our project, and we’ve set up a Discourse Forum to aid the developers within our community. Essentially it’…

[이미지] Brendan J: he topics aren’t too hard to detect and delete, but what’s been worse is them spamming pre-existing topics with spam / low quality content. Many of our more popular topics have had anywhere between 500 and 1,500 new spam/low quality posts added to them. I would - at least tem…

You might try using a custom user field with a required multiselect option on your signup page, with multiple answers, only one of which is acceptable. That’ll probably slow down the bots a little, or at least give you an easily filterable field to help delete bogus signups. (NOTE: After thinking…

I appreciate the replies so far. With registrations disabled for a day we were able to get our heads above water again. @RGJ I like your idea of hoops to jump through in order to get added to a group that has posting permissions, that’s something we’re going to explore. Using the data explorer I’…

Several years ago our old forums (phpbb3) were hit with a big wave of bogus registrations, many of the emails were similar to the gmail ones you listed, though we also got quite a few from .ru addresses, notably yandex. At one point we were getting 1000 of them a day. By the time we got it under …

Is fingerprinting still a viable technique or have the browsers pretty much made it a toothless tool?

Right question would be is it ever been viable technique :wink: (And just a reminder: it is unlegal in EU)

[이미지] Brendan J: Is there any way to mass purge members. Can I delete all TL0 users who have registered over the past 72 hours? from rails (docker exec -it my_container rails c): spammers = User.where(trust_level: 0).where("created_at > ?", Date.today - 3) puts "found #{spammers.length} spa…

[이미지] Jakke Flemming: (And just a reminder: it is unlegal in EU) If it’s only used for spam prevention and not for user behavior tracking then it will be permitted by the GDPR as “legitimate interest”.

And how would someone use it without identification?

I’m not sure what you mean by ‘identification’. If you are a user on my forum, and I’ve banned you, I can use the fingerprinting plugin to see that you created a new account under a different name, so I can ban that account as well. In that case I am merely using the fingerprinting to protect my ow…

지문 추출 플러그인 토픽의 댓글들은 지문 추출의 합법성과 EU 관련해서 여러분과 완전히 일치하지 않을 수 있습니다.

다행히도 저는 현재 지문 추출이 유용한 스팸 방지 조치로 여겨질 만한 사이트를 운영하지 않고 있습니다.
