Post by: Fud on February 02, 2007, 09:14:31 PM: It appears that a lot of gun boards are being targetted by professional spammers. FFF is getting a handful of hits per day.

If you're interested, PM me to compare notes.
Title: Re: ATTENTION New Members (and Potential Members)
Post by: DDGator on February 02, 2007, 10:02:35 PM: In my spare time, I have delted 500+ members.

What is it these people are hoping to accomplish?
Title: Re: ATTENTION New Members (and Potential Members)
Post by: Fud on February 02, 2007, 11:31:46 PM: Don't delete. Ban. Deleted members can re-register again. Banned members need to get another e-mail address.
Title: Re: ATTENTION New Members (and Potential Members)
Post by: S.F._Phantom on February 03, 2007, 02:08:05 AM: Ban their IP..... ;D
Title: Re: ATTENTION New Members (and Potential Members)
Post by: Fud on February 03, 2007, 01:19:45 PM: Banning the IP will also help but it has been my experience that most of them use a proxy server and come in on a different IP address each time.
Title: Re: ATTENTION New Members (and Potential Members)
Post by: Soda_Pop on February 05, 2007, 12:01:18 AM: We had the same problem over on www.therallypoint.org

We actually track IP and email addresses before we allow a member to have access to the forums.
Title: Re: ATTENTION New Members (and Potential Members)
Post by: DDGator on February 05, 2007, 10:55:37 AM: I wish I had the technology to screen members like that -- I don't with this forum software. Maybe if we upgrade...
Title: Re: ATTENTION New Members (and Potential Members)
Post by: R9SCarry on February 05, 2007, 07:56:04 PM: These %#&%^$'s are a royal PITA and yeah - most use proxy servers.

Quite how they hope to get sales when trolling/spamming our types of board I do not know! :( Certainly a ban is best but there again - some keep coming back. One source in UK and another from Russia are frequent.

They should consider themselves lucky that gun boards cannot live fire in their direction :D
Title: Re: ATTENTION New Members (and Potential Members)
Post by: Fud on February 06, 2007, 10:54:06 AM: Are you also seeing this at THR? How are they dealing with the problem?
Title: Re: ATTENTION New Members (and Potential Members)
Post by: Richard S on February 06, 2007, 02:38:37 PM: What I think about these "bottom feeders" can't be expressed in polite company. Lately, I've been getting about five e-mail messages a day from crooked geeks hiding behind proxy servers trying to peddle junk bonds or penny stocks. I've even received two of those pathetic Nigerian "409 Scam" letters. (I thought those stupid things had run their course years ago.) Even my newest SPAM blocker can't keep up with all of this garbage.

I join Chris in the closing sentiment of his previous message.
Title: Re: ATTENTION New Members (and Potential Members)
Post by: R9SCarry on February 06, 2007, 05:52:13 PM: Alan - yes THR and also CombatCarry - no one is immune as there is no way satisfactory put on a block.

Methodology has to be the usual PITA - hope someone spots them and we do a quick clean up. Members do often use the ''report to mod'' button and so that often helps fix things super quick.

''Bottom Feeders" Richard - yes indeed ........ parasites and all the other things we can't print here :(
Title: Re: ATTENTION New Members (and Potential Members)
Post by: DDGator on February 06, 2007, 06:19:33 PM: I have taken some steps -- like banning certain known IP addresess and such, but it hardly stems the flow.

It is difficult to ban all these spam members because of the nature of the software. A little easier to delete them -- but still a multi-step process.

There have been 10+ spam members join since 9am this morning. >:( The wierd thing is that they almost never post anything -- they just join.

For a while we had 600+ spam members on the board! I was asleep at the switch I guess, but it didn't take long.

I don't understand what value they get out of joining the forum and not posting... Furthermore, I have to ask the question -- even if it doesn't cost them much to "advertise" in this way, what can it possibly be worth? Who buys products from these people?

Heck, even if you are the kind of person who pays for on-line pornography, do you decide to go to a particular Ukranian porn site because they are spamming the Rohrbaugh Forum? ??? I don't get it.

I wish someone smarter than me could explain the economics of this type of spamming to me... Anyone?
Title: Re: ATTENTION New Members (and Potential Members)
Post by: DDGator on February 06, 2007, 06:29:12 PM: Wait, it gets better. One of the frequent e-mail addresses for these spam members (you can't see their e-mail, but I can) is something@cashette.com.

When you go to cashette.com it is an e-mail provider that promises to stop all "free" spam, and pay you for spam you agree to receive... Huh? They create spam and then want me to use their service to block spam? Then they want to charge other spammers to send me spam? You have to look at their FAQ - the whole thing makes my head hurt.
Title: Re: ATTENTION New Members (and Potential Members)
Post by: R9SCarry on February 06, 2007, 08:19:24 PM: Duane - there is much out there to make the head hurt! These spammers always seem to be able to stay one step ahead by some means.

Like you, I fail to see how they make any sales! I'd be interested too to find out if in fact an order was placed, would anyone receive any goods! Whole darned thing smacks of scam entirely.

Grrrr ........... (not a very effective representation of how they chap my butt!).
Title: Re: ATTENTION New Members (and Potential Members)
Post by: Fud on February 08, 2007, 01:37:10 PM: About a month ago we had a couple of dozen spammers join and not post. Because they didn't post anything, it didn't occur to us that they were spammers but all of them had the same birthday. Then, on that day they all started spamming the board with a whole bunch of spam.

Be careful with non-posting spammers -- they are sleepers waiting for the correct time to strike.

Actually, be careful anything who signs up and doesn't post within a day or two.
Title: Re: ATTENTION New Members (and Potential Members)
Post by: R9SCarry on February 08, 2007, 02:45:18 PM: I have always been suspicious if sign-ups who then never seem to post ......... it's like they want to get a key to the door, in case it is of use later.

May I reiterate to all - seeing as Duane and I cannot be on guard all the time to nail these clowns - do feel free if something noticed to PM one or both of us.

Post by: Moose R9 on July 10, 2007, 02:30:38 AM: Hi guys,

I just joined and figured I better post so I don't get deleted.

I picked up my R9 all in black 2 weeks ago, after waiting ten months for it to come in. I love the size and want to see the general consensus on this gun. I bought it for off-duty carry and on duty back-up. I'll explore the forums and see what the members have to say.

I'm glad I found this forum!

Jim

Title: Re: ATTENTION New Members (and Potential Members)
Post by: Jack_Bauer on February 19, 2008, 05:38:32 PM: We're getting tons of these registrations over at Park Cities Tactical. We had to adjust the registration process. I would say that about 3-5% of registrations we receive are legitimate.

For what it's worth, I consider the Rohrbaugh R9 to be the finest pocket pistol on this third rock from the sun. Treat yourself to one. You won't regret it.

Post by: Chief-USN on September 11, 2009, 01:17:18 PM: I am new here and just catching up on reading at this time. I run a network for a large company and as such I fight spammers, etc. everyday. The problem with banning them is that they usually use a differant email address almost by the hour. It is all done electronically that is why many of us are running anti spam appliances like the Ninja Blade and Barracuda. It is next to impossible to stop them without computer help. We went from 300,000 per day to 5000 perday by using the appliances.
Just my newbie 2 cents worth.

As for "buyer's remorse," we've had a few cases of that reported but they all seem to have involved remorse over buying just one. ;D

Thanks for the welcome!

I don't exactly have a dealer in mind yet - no one near me is a dealer. But very near (like within a mile) of my wife's parents home there IS a dealer - and we have to go there next week anyway so I plan to stop and see if they have anything in stock. At Thanksgiving time they did not but were expecting some in. If they DO have stock, a pup may just follow me home ...

You should be very glad right about now for that move! They have gotten a LOT of snow the last 2 weeks and have been generous enough to have shared some with the town I live in; we have good friends in NC - former neighbors on our street.

I am a member of PAFOA under the same screen name - I lurk a lot but post little. It's a lot friendlier here ...

I have had 7 years of being glad I moved here, better weather and it is a much friendlier state to gun owners.
I have only posted on the PA forum in the classifieds, I don't have time to post in the other sections as I am on about fifteen + forums selling brass ;D

And a welcome from me as well. I certainly agree with you about the R9's trigger.

Post by: gunthorp on January 03, 2011, 06:21:22 PM: Thank you all very much for the welcome. I have been a Rohrbaugh dealer for several years. All those whom I have served are as delighted with their pups as they are with the Kahrs and Kimbers I recommend.

Very nice web site you have and a good writeup on the R9.
I see you are from the frozen North, I'll pry for sunshine for you. ;D

Again Welcome aboard and good job referring your R9 customers here.

I'm glad to be a newbie after many hours lurking this past week, (It really didn't take a week to know this would be a great community to get to know). Thanks for all the excellent information. I graduated to my first R9s eight days ago, after progressing thru Keltec and Ruger 380's over the last year or so. I was trying to decide if I really wanted any pocket pistol.
This little gun has answered most of those concerns. I look forward to learning more from you and buying a few of the well designed additions to care and functionality of this liitle beauty.

And a welcome from me as well. Be assured that you do indeed have a great pistol -- in my opinion the finest pocket pistol on the planet.

A Glock for a Rohrbaugh. You did well. Rather like trading a Mack for a Ferrari. ;)

Welcome!
