It can't be helped.

The only viable solution is to wait for them to get bored.

>>53493365

>The only viable solution is to wait for them to get bored.

/a/ does have mods you know

Let's have a meta-conversation about my post in a meta-thread.

>>53493365
>The only viable solution is to wait for them to get bored.
But they're autistic children. They don't get bored.

Can't we just get along?

>>53493382
You don't think they've done everything within their power?

Evading bans isn't difficult at all, and the main spammers have access to an essentially unlimited number of proxies.

>>53493365
Or just make a new thread every time one gets spammed.

I've said it before: it takes me entering one captcha to start a thread. It takes spammer hundreds to kill a thread.

I hope the mods can get a handle on it.

>>53493507
I believe this is the best course of action - even though it will eventually lead to people complaining about the number of threads about a certain thing, they can just blame the spammer for that. And if the whole first page is flooded with the spam, moot might try paying some attention to this issue.

>>53493507
>>53493773
Link threads and then delete the original, that way the front page isn't spammed bad with new threads as well and the fucker needs to re-find the thread.

Eventually they will have to go back to school or something—spammer seems to spend literally ever waking hour typing captchas.

That can't be anything other than literal autism.

>>53493842
But they have begun sharing the program so a grand surge is upon us that will only increase.

We live in sour times.

I'm bumping this thread only to increase awareness that this is not just a handful of people.

As little of 4 of them are enough to turn the front page into a cacophony of shitty shit. And like I have said they are sharing the program much more frequently.

It must be helped!

It must be helped!

>>53494032
It can't be helped. Just ignore them and don't post in while quoting them, act like they're not there and scroll past it. Filter and/or hide it if you want to, but don't give it any attention. And uh... this thread just happens to be giving them the attention they want, so I'm not going to stick around.

>>53494032
>Using the front page of /a/

Why do you do this?

see
>>53494433

>>53495374
I don't browse threads for their entry image. And I'm not using windows.

>>53495811
>for their entry windows

I don't either. I can see OP post and latest replies. Just like you can on the front page. Except I can see every thread, what's being bumped in real time, search threads, view posts by users, and countless other features.

Enjoy your front page of spam.

>>53495910
>>for their entry windows
meant
>for their entry image

>>53495910
Fair enough. Never really looked into it.
Did the fucker release the source code of it yet? Because I won't use it without credibility. And even then I'd only use it if it works through wine or gets ported.

>>53495976
Its up on /rs/, not sure if there's source code. Not really sure who you could contact, I'm not finding any info on him in the readme

A joke compared to the spamming before captcha. Yeah you remember, 3 other Anons.

>>53496088
Spamming before captcha was bad for different reasons.

And I hope you're excluding Cornelia from that.

As much as I hated GIRUGAMESH, I kind of miss it.
Spammer-kuns, start using that image just for shits and giggles.

>>53493299
posted in a drawfag thread. Not my code, but it works.

Welp, this should work as I hope it does, time for a new filter.

Comment:
\s[jqrxzrlf]\w(\.$|\s.+\.$) -i;\s[bcdefghjklmnopqstvwyz](\.$|\s.+\.$) -i;^\d\d\d+$;<br><br>\d\d\d+$ -h

File:\s(\d){8,12}.jpg;

It also might be a good idea to put anything lower than 10 kb in your filter, because, well no one usually fucking posts images that small.

for those of you who can't do that on your own, use this one for the file.

File:\s(\d){8,12}.jpg;\([123456789]\sKB;

I'm pretty sure it shouldn't give any false positives, but still let me know if there are any.

<3 Accel-kun

>>53496295
I take that back, filesizes lower than 1KB can get past it.

Spammer kun, going to use 800byte pngs now?

>>53496295
I'm currently using only the comment one, and it's working just fine, even with this random shit (words not letters).

also, if I never saw a costanza.jpg ever again, that would be fine with me.

There are a couple of options for filtering based on the picture being the same for 5-10 posts, but that's easily randomized on their end.

hopefully not

fuck you

>>53496379
Oh I didn't realize the comment one was different from the old version based on gibberish.

Pic related.

>>53496490
I'm gonna do my best to spread it everytime I see people bitching about him.

I hope you do the same~

>>53496544
I spread the other one every now and then when I saw him, I'll use the new copypasta

He is fighting the mod in the drawfag thread
>>53475349

>>53493489
I don't know how to evade bans. Although, I've never looked into it either.

>>53496565
Thank you kindly anon.
>>53496614
if you look at the time the OP was posted, it was at 10:00 this morning. He's been spamming the thread for nearly 10 hours.

Isn't that insane?

>>53496640
Make sure you have a dynamic IP, then just reset router.

Static IPs are fucked.

>>53496176
Hmm what is a good filter plugin-script for the Greasemonkey addon?

I loaded up one, but it had this huge retarded window that I couldn't minimize like the quick reply window on 4chan X.

>>53496056
Well it works through wine for the most part, effects and mouseover is a little slow, I'll try and mess around with it for a bit.

>>53496690
I'm sorry, I have no idea. I just parrot what the other anon posted.

>>53496723
Just letting you know it crashes every now and then, more now than then. Not suprising for an indie program that amalgamates all the threads on a board.
Make sure you look through the options, some of the important things aren't enabled by default, like images posted in replies.

Here is how we stop the spammers:

1. Find their real life identities. I know this can be done -- a proxy can only mask your location, not make you completely anonymous. I mean, if a bunch of idiots from /b/ can hack NATO, we should be able to find the names of the people spamming.

2. Terrorize them in real life. Even if they don't have a facebook page, they have an address and probably a phone number.

3. They stop spamming.

>>53496690
use that one! you click the 'auto' button to get it to stay hidden. i think it comes with 4chan X now. if it doesnt then its called '4chan filter'. by aerosyth guy i think.

>>53496690
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/109740

>>53496866
>>>/b/

That's not offensive btw, you'll have better luck there, good luck with getting interest and the "NOT YOUR PERSONAL ARMY" shit though.

>>53496866
I also consider this manhunt.
They need to be put down, permanently.
Proxies don't mean shit if you're DEAD.

>>53497010

I'm not saying one ought to to so. Just that it would be a way.

>Mods can't do nothing about spammer-kun (not that I hate him or anything, rather find it amusing)
>I get v& for 2 days for posting in a dub thread

I actually got banned because a mod confused me for accelspammer, one of my posts were in between the spamming.

Shit sucks, even mods don't know what to do.

>>53497019

I was thinking more like sending a dead raccoon or something to their house by UPS, or filling up the voice box with nonsense. Or, if they live in an area where someone is, maybe they could egg their house. Killing them is a little extreme.

>people trying to find the guy irl when he is using proxies
>people thinking even if they had his ip they could find him
I thought it was a global rule to be over 18

>>53497087
He shits up every thread he doesn't like.
/a/ probably has like one or two mods, and that's it. While each board on 2ch has about 100 mods...or what it 2chan? Well, not like it matters anyway.

>>53497220
>/a/ has one or two mods
>doesn't realize they are global

>>53497197

No, it is quite possible to find a persons identity even if they're using a proxy. The police do it all the time.

>>53497255
thats because they are the police you dumbshit, you know, warrant for logs, warrant for customer information, why am I telling you this when you don't know how the internet works?

The new spam gets past my filter, anybody have anything new to get rid of the new spam? I have no fucking idea how the previous filter worked.

>People actually think there's a point to filtering spam

The thread turns into discussion about spam no matter what. Image related threads are worthless because they're at limit. Just make a new thread and move on.

>>53497242
They are indeed, but some tend to make one of the boards their motherboard.

>>53497296
use the filesize one

Posting in a thread where everyone has filesizes filtered.

>>53497285

You see, all that information can be gotten by other means. Or the mods could even request the Spammer's info from his IP on the grounds that he's sabatoging the site.

what we need is a mod autistic enough to match spammer-kun.

I just don't understand why they even bother. At best, they push the thread they dislike to the image/post cap, the thread dies... and then a new thread on the same topic is made afterwards. And on and on it goes until the spammer gets bored or dies or the topic becomes old and largely unposted due to a lack of interest and popularity.

Whoop-de-doo.

>>53497329
Worked like a charm

>>53497415
...get his IP from who? the the proxy hoster? proxies die within a day or two, and the mods of 4chan don't have authority anywhere other than here

>>53497442
>mfw my favorite reaction image is filtered
Sacrifices must be made

Considering that this is not automated spam, but actual human retards writing hundreds of captchas...
>Can it be helped?
Only if we all have to create accounts and log in to post.
A depressing thought, isn't it?

>>53497242
>implying mods don't just ignore boards they don't like
see: /v/

>>53496163
No, please don't. The only good thing about the GIRUGAMESH spam was how it wiped entire boards in a matter of seconds, and how it made posting impossible because of server overloads. And that was damn hilarious.

>>53497416
FUND IT

I'm gonna lower my filter to under 6KB.

>>53497549
and what does that accomplish?

>>53497580
Clears some false positives like>>53497442
but still filters most of spam

filtering really wont do anything you know, it is literally impossible to get everyone to use it, the thread always turns to shit after it gets spammed, and even if everyone did, they can just modify the source and change it so the filter doesnt work, aka its a temporary solution

>>53497523
Cornelia was pretty awesome, in her own way. Did /g/ ever find anything interesting in all those files?

>>53496176

How do it use this?

Bookmarklet?

It starts with a little spam here, spam the Naruto threads, no one will care.

Then they start to thirst for more, all Shounen is shit, lets spam Bleach and One Piece too.

And then the retaliation starts, they spam our Shounen, we'll spam their moe. Pretty soon it's all just a chaotic mess.

But in the end, when everyone is spammed no one will be.

>>53497697
get a script extension like greasemonkey or scriptish. install 4chan filter, add line/s.

>spamming with no image

He's evolving.

So who wants to invent the script that determines whether a post is written in legible English sentence structure.

Any volunteers?

>>53497674
pretty much, he's already started posting without images

>>53497793
That would be great, it would filter out all the underageb& trash and other illiterate faggots too.

>>53497797
which are easily ignorable. and he also bumps the threads he's spamming.

now that i dont need to see his shitty images everywhere im all set.

>>53497793
>
>So who wants to invent the script that determines whether a post is written in legible English sentence structure
And suddenly, 4chan is devoid of any post at all

But now he can't push threads to image limit.

Pic related, its spammer's face

>>53497793
This isn't difficult, but then he just moves to Markov chains.

>>53497885
he can push it to the bump limit though, but then he'll have to post very fast, which he doesn't like doing, all this evading filters has actually hurt the spammer in the end

>>53495374

This looks cool, what is it ?

>>53497902
>markov chains

Lets place bets on when he'll start spamming with threads. But since the cooldown on new threads is very long, he'll probably just bump ones up from page 15.

>>53497934
I'll probably be posting with images tomorrow.

>mfw when I can't post without being filtered.

>>53497988
If he's using proxies, wouldn't he be able to avoid the cooldown period? Is there a board-wide feature that prevents threads from being created too quickly in general?

>>53497999
asl?
any other 4chan boards you are a fan of?

>>53498070
he'll need alot more proxies to do it, seeing as he'll go from a cooldown of 30 seconds to something like 5 minutes

>>53498070
Its easier for mods to kill threads.

>>53497999
I still love you

>>53498100
Good point. I guess even he has his limits

>>53498119
And that's a good point too. It seems he has thought this through a bit.

Overall, it's a pretty difficult problem to solve.

Worst thing he could probably do right now would be to release the new script, since text bombing would be rampant

>>53497793
But that's mostly pointless. Taking out image capacity is more important than bump capacity in most cases.

If he spams with no image it's just another stupid post I'm not going to read.

>>53498306
dont give him any ideas, fucking shit was bad enough when delayclose first came to /a/

so accel-kun, I've noticed you seem to have broadened your spectrum since you first started, care to comment?

The problem with spamming is that, in the long run, it completely shits on /a/. Fuck, do you remember how it was like before the captcha?

These guys think they're making /a/ better by spamming threads that are not /a/-related, but that eventually devolves into spamming threads they simply don't like, and then, once the script is available for everybody, everyone else starts spamming in retaliation, turning /a/ into a further shithole than it already is.

>>53498486
and then everyone gets bored after awhile , or moot finally steps in and finds a way to stop it and it becomes a faint memory

>>53498486
>These guys think they're making /a/ better by spamming threads t

They don't really. They do spam theads they don't like but it's because they get to see you butthurt reactions and metathreads about them.

>>53498527
Last time no one got bored of it. That shit didn't stop until moot implemented the captcha.

>>53498546
I'm not butthurt, but I just don't see the point.
I mean, we've had worse.

>>53498527
>moot finally steps in

Yeah, can't wait for that

>>53498449
As long as they're shit, it doesn't matter.

Well if he's going for that shit that happened in 2011 on /a/ chart, chances are he's made it in.

Congrats accel-kun and friends

>>53498486
>These guys think they're making /a/ better by spamming threads that are not /a/-related
they are just trolls and this is their immature little prank

they do it for the same reason tripfags tripfag, and park ranger is park ranger, shits and giggles

>>53498631
Some of them are trolls, but some are really, truly nuts. A troll will get bored after a while, a crazy person will never, ever get bored. This was a huge problem on usenet back in the day- it had similar lack of moderation/control as 4chan, and the net.kooks abounded. In the long run what killed them was the mass departure from usenet- leaving many groups with only kooks.

\s[jqrxzrlf]\w(\.$|\s.+\.$) -i;\s[bcdefghjklmnopqstvwyz](\.$|\s.+\.$) -i;^\d\d\d+$;<br><br>\d\d\d+$ -h;q;w;e;r;t;y;u;i;o;p;a;s;d;f;g;h;j;k;l;z;x;c;v;b;n;m;^$;

One thing I will say for the spammer is that he's really good at reading captchas. I have a lot of trouble when the word gets doubled and slid down a bit, especially on "o" "e" and "m" and "rn"

>>53499360
Go on...

/a/'s on fire /a/'s on fire and it's about to expire.
