Had to restore from backup

submitted by system to announcements 3 yearsMar 9, 2021 08:28:46 ago (+47/-0)     (announcements)*

Got hit again last night by that faggot on searchvoat forum. Registered hundreds of accounts and ruined vote counts. I was able to restore most stuff but some things might be missing. Some restored posts might display inaccurate times. Will add the ability to see time stamp soon. Registration will be opened/closed depending on my ability to monitor it.

I believe it's The American, Ghostskin, known by many other names. The guy obv has mental issues. He's been posting retarded shit for years. I feel bad for him.

Not here everyday, but will check back.

You might have to put in a captcha type of system. Or maybe require verifications for regs until they reach 20 or 30 posts. That'll stop some of the spamming. Or maybe restrict posting for the first 30 mins after an account is opened.

I despise captcha, and they aren't completely effective at catching bots. I will try any other method before I go down that route.

[ - ] RobertJHarsh 0 points 3 yearsMar 9, 2021 21:48:33 ago (+0/-0)

I hate them myself. Something else I thought of would be to run a script of unusual registrations. I don't know what those numbers are but say if the system sees 15 regs in 30 minutes that should get an email to you. At least an early warning system.

Not sure, curious about this though. What browser are you using?

I will test out both browsers and try to get cookies working for them.

On poal I was "dindu" till AOU pulled some shit, then I quit and built this site.

The same happens with Tor and even Chrome, both with javascript restricted to minimum

LEGEND.

I figured out the problem. All should be working now.

I'd hope we wouldn't have to resort to captchas

He's using a vpn. I am considering banning the vpn's isp. But that would cut off a lot of VPNs as it looks like it's a widely used isp by vpns because they offer cheap services. Pretty stupid to route all that traffic through one provider, never been a fan of VPNs, but I digress.

They should now have to complete a captcha before the site loads. We'll see how this works out first and who it effects before I outright block them.

[ - ] system [op] 4 points 3 yearsMar 9, 2021 12:20:49 ago (+4/-0)

Nevermind, they've been blocked. Had like 5 ips requesting a random file on the server.

I love this new Voat. Feels like the old Voat, only with an Admin who hates niggers and nigger-lovers as much as I do. Do your best, dude! We white nationalists are behind you!

Good work getting it back online. So some random douchbag can sit in his moms basement and do this shit? Fuck.

It was inevitable that autistic trannies would try to DDOS us. Next they will try to dox users. This is the equivalent of a Voat user complaining about Jews, and then voluntarily spending everyday at the synagogue. Some people don't operate on logic.
