Chinese Spammers

[G]

Is it possible to write a line of code that auto-deletes anything not written with Latin alphabet?

[MedMO]

Wow, there's almost 4 solid pages of it.

[VagabondMD]

Whatever the origin or motive, the spammers are winning.

And they are coming fast and furious. In less than a minute this thread had fallen by 10

[Kamban]

You have awoken the sleeping giant. The first 3 pages are in Chinese :cry:

[HikingDO]

Is there a point to it, other than just to be incredibly annoying?

[Doc Spouse]

Got the first one, now we wait to see if they start running scripts again.

[Hatton]

They are back

[ShahMD]

It’s happening again

I just recently moved to Japan, so I thought I had just completely messed up some settings causing me to see everything everyone else had typed in Kanji. Then I saw it was all the same poster and was very relieved.

No.. I understood that much more than I understand Crixus’ recommendations (sometimes I’m not even sure if there are recommendations to be had….).  He sorta reminds me of that whole life salesperson I met that made everything sound complicated (so it must be right/good!?!).

As a long-time lurker on the forum sidelines, Crixus has been my favorite! Every post starts off like he's actually going somewhere, then it all devolves into cryptic nonsense with a random chart thrown in for good measure. Example:

"If all of this so-called "spam" isn't clear evidence of the future superiority of the petro-yuan over the petro-dollar, I don't know what is. Anyone who pays attention can see where all this is headed. If you'd read the real news, you'd know what to do with this forum: get out of fiat currency! It's all here folks!"

I thought my phone had changed to Chinese language or something. I was so confused. At least I know now it's not an issue with my phone!

And no, I don't speak Chinese!

I thought we had it licked, but there they were again tonight. We'll have to try something different. It's easy to blog IP addresses on the blog side; I guess we'll have to implement that on the forum side too.

I, for one, welcome the contributions of our new Chinese spammer forum members. Nín hǎo!
