I am investigating something concerning the spam problem and I do know problem when the big problem started on wall but when did it start on oxwall? Basically we are talking about the jerk that got around the email verification and captcha code.

I am also look at actual reporting the advertisers for abuse to there domain and host providers. This will lead to finding who the spam or spam agent is.

Please help by reporting the spam advertizing addresses on Report the advertisers

Thank you in advance

Quote from OxwallAccessories Holy Moly! First of all this is not the first time you have come around bashing porn sites. What because we have porn on our site it means we automatically see butt loads of traffic.(pardon the pun) You have no idea on just how much harder it is to compete in that industry. Second of all it seems rather odd that for a guy who wants to review all of oxwalls plugins for everyone that you would be so biased to a guy who drops 2-4 plugins a week into our store. As I have stated to others we really don't need anyone coming around here bashing what few developers we do have. If you don't like the plug in that's fine. But I think everyone in the community would agree that Paul has done a wonderful job on his projects and has always been helpful in supporting his projects afterwards. You also mentioned that if you were trying to build a large social network you wouldn't use oxwall. Well then why are you here Bob. This is a place for people that want to Build large social networks. I am sure you may be a lot happier with wordpress.

Porn is one of the biggest attraction on the internet and a big money maker, please do not be so stupid to think I am anti porn i was just presenting a known fact. So get of your hobby horse and face reality.

You really would think a few boob pics would make traffic and money. As stated before its not as easy as you think bob. In fact I would almost bet that its harder to sell a porn service then you ever imagined. My horse isn't high or hobby! My horse is smart and witty. Check yourself Bob before you rigity wreck yourself!

So do you thinks it's the theme causing this problem?, or a plugin?

Somebody has created a back door to a spamming script that's for sure. 


If I can't figure a way to get rid of it I will have to delete my site and go with another social networking script all together. I'm thinking maybe Dolphin by Boonex.

Sigh. I do check myself and that's your problem

 I am very careful how I write things there was no insult if you did not think I was anti porn.  Why is my personal opinions worrying you?

But I will not answer your renderings as your just after an argument
. I beg out on a different opinion and of course respect your opinion even though you did not respect mine.

Bob you have called many people here stupid and have insulted others around the site. You are the one looking to start problems. You are bashing on Paul's plugin because of your opinion!  You have been told by others that your method hasn't worked and you act as if they are making it up! So I agree lets keep it sensible here. Quit starting drama!

If you had searched you would have found this spam plugin I use it and has stopped all spam. If some ones IP is blocked and they really want to use the site they would message the webmaster. If they don't want to really use the site they wont. It's simple.

Unless your site is just for you and your friends and want a slow growing site. That is the way to go but for most that is not practical and spammers still can register.

I hare no spammers trying to register on Code Whacker one tried last month, but that was a manual incident.

I have set up many spam traps and I will trace the waste of space that is been causing the main spamming problem. I suggest he stops now because it is illegal. Yes he here is here on this forum. This is where he found out how to get around the security system of the software.
