Whole lotta spam
by

hi admin
I really like the software you made
whole lotta spam...
not your fault though.
most imageboards/textboards don't make it.
I'd even say no textboard ever really "made it," ever. But I guess that is actually a good thing, for it keeps it to a specific niche.

Thank you! but yeah, I'm not sure what's going on here, it really intensified in the past couple weeks... Like the index page says, it's not really a focus anymore but this is pretty annoying.

Thanks for your reply!
I've seen this thread circulate on other textboards: https://trashchan.xyz/meta/thread/374.html
I haven't read through the entire thread, and it does pertain more to CP spam, but you may find the thread interesting.
Any spam on small or dead-but-still-running forums always interests me in the respect that its postage will receive, as best, near-zero notice, yet still is posted (although this case is obviously bot spam).
The spam on this textboard doesn't even advertise a single webpage or use any attention-grabbing language, it just dumps an unreadable block of URLs. I guess it's just one of those bots which try to scan the entire Internet and writes arbitrary data to the first <form> it finds.
Out of curiosity, why isn't ninechan displayed on your homepage's list of projects? I just have a bit of an ARCHIVE EVERYTHING! mentality.

Yeah, it most definitely just is one of those types of bots. Unfortunately it seems to be doing it from otherwise clean IP addresses, I use getipintel.net to get a score for IP addresses and if they fall above a certain threshold it disables the ability to post. I don't recall if this ever made it to a public source release. Previously I just used reCAPTCHA, but I don't really like the way the new types of captcha work (especially as a Firefox user), even if it's about the only way it can really be done nowadays...
It was actually listed on my homepage for a long time! Somewhere in the last year I culled the list a bit to make it less of "just another listing of repositories" and try to make it more of a list of recent actual projects (cuz some consist out of multiple repos). I definitely share the "ARCHIVE EVERYTHING" mindset though. I've been working on a redesign in the background and will definitely put some attention to being able to feature older projects.
Also fun little tidbit: I don't actually fully remove the spam threads and instead move them to an unlisted board in order to make rangebanning easier. Because of the, lets say, Creative way I handled thread ids, a lot of different threads have merged though; https://ninechan.flash.moe/hell/

Turns out the code I wrote in a rush to check a couple years ago got my server IP banned from the service, oops! I'll contact them and apologise when I have time.
