Two good threads in the top 7.
And the ISP ? I doubt they give a ****
On the contruary, you’d be suprised what a well aimed complaint can do.
Oh I’m not saying don’t complain, just that in my experience when I have emailed ISP’s abroad about issues with a customer of theirs, I have never yet had a decent response.
I still send them though 🙂
Heh – I have no clue how to get contact info for the provider based on the internic record and the bot has taken to spoofing the IP address or running through proxies or something …

Both help .. but spoofed stuff doesn’t obviously.

I have to concur with podz here: a polite complaint didn’t do thing, and I went then higher and they again said they just provide lines and are not responsible blablabla.
What caused me to complain was that one IP number pings/refer my blog (one specific posting) every 10 minutes since a week, and each ping/refer gives another porn web URL, but each shows the same IP number. Thanks to TarPit, I could stop them from cumulating on my blog itself, but it is still annoying!
I’m getting the texas holdem bot too … as you can see its a distributed effort, not sure if its an overt team or a covert worm.

Just get me the texas-holdem sites provider and I’ll give it a shot. I use all sorts of nasty legal language and it seems to work provided they are US or UK based.
Again with the “I don’t want these links on my blog” (but I don’t mind posting ’em here! ;-).
This texas holdem bot _is_ annoying me to the max right now. Even though I did turn off the option to get mail everytime a post is made/approved or rejected to the blog I still get a flood of mails to my inbox.
here is an example
“new comment on the post #18 “” is waiting for your approval…”
Is it commenting posts that does not exist or have no subject. what is this?
Sorry if this was slightly offtopic.
I’m also getting attacked by this texas holdem bot and even installing the blacklist plug-in doesn’t seem to help!
I too have been attacked by this insidious evil. It appears the domain name is registered at domainsbyproxy.com – whose business model is “Your identity becomes instantly available – and vulnerable – to spammers, scammers, prying eyes and worse. Your solution: domainsbyproxy.com! ” How ironic, the service set up to protect us from spammers now houses them safely!
The site is hosted at godaddy.com as well. Contacting them might do something… but it won’t prevent comment spamming.
We need a united solution!!
Well if the posts here about blogs are anything to go by, if they are hosted by Godaddy it should break soon 🙂
