Arab spammers incoming! D:

Spam became better. Now they create several threads per user instead of thread per user!

Unity needs to find a better way to block them...

 

Yeah tell me about it.

They need to use the invisible Google Re-Catch or whatever it's called.
I used to get spam like crazy on my website, now not a single one.

 

Shh, it's trying to communicate..

 

...in arabic :/

 

You'd think spammers would improve in areas other than getting their spam onto a site. Apparently not enough improvement to realize few on that site speaks Arabic.

 

According to Google Translator that guy is talking about fixing refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers and ice makers.

And they continuously spam the word "Hitachi".

I already reported him, but still no action from mods.

 

LOL niceee.

Yeah I did too, twice LOL.

 

Is that a song by Dire Straits?

 

Oh not this gobshite again...

 

Gotta love stupid spammers. Why do they keep coming back with crap that noone can read anyways? Doesn't that defeat the point?

 

How about any one who creates more than 5 threads in 10 minutes, get a temporary block put on them and their threads hidden.

 

No point honestly, but if spammer creates 10 threads per minute, the whole front page is full of them which is kinda annoying.

 

Most likely they're bots. Unity must add CAPTCHA to their posts in order to prevent that kind of stuff.

 

I'm betting a bit of both. Someone to pass the CAPTCHA and the bot does the rest.

 

Where's all the mods at? @hippocoder

 

Well the problem is unity's forum change has changed the moderation notifications being visible. I used to handle most of it when I saw it, now I can't see it so I don't.

I'll keep an eye out but unity has to regress this change

You're not getting more spam, I'm just moderating less I presume eric is suffering the same problem (we work at different times mostly it seems).

 

Yeah, although I did ban one of those bots/spammers yesterday. The arabic spam pretty much disappeared since the switch to the new forum, until now. It's possible the forum uses some kind of adaptive spam detection, where hitting the spam button repeatedly will eventually cause it to auto-moderate that stuff. There's been a lot of snake-oil body-building/health care spam, most of which gets auto-moderated.

They do need to un-hide the moderation queue and report list.

I think it livens things up, keeps everyone on their toes. The whole catfish thing.

 

simply dont buy arabian 3D assets.

 

I do actually know to speak some arabic

 

Then what does those "things" are trying to tell us? :O

 

Prince Ali - mighty is he - Ali Ababwa
Strong as ten regular men definitely
(Genie as old man)
He faced the galloping hordes!
(Genie as young boy)
A hundred bad guys with swords!
(Genie as fat man)
Who sent those goons to their lords?
(All)
Why- Prince Ali!

They're still really fired up, Disney's Aladdin had a big impact in their culture.

 

Lol, thats fair enough for you... you think ? -.-
You cant judge a whole culture/country etc from just a few stupid trollers's behaviour, they just think spamming will increase their ranking and stuff like that, but asking to do not buy arabian assets its just racist !
Go see what good arabian are doing (not only in game industry) and you will change your mind

 

Thw "r" word has been unleashed, flee flee flee

 

Don't blame average arab because of several arab trolls.

 

never read them

 

Where exactly would we go to look? I don't know about anyone else, but I almost never specifically search for results from a particular nationality. If someone is doing something good then that should speak for itself.

 

Well...they don't spam for sure.

BTW we are 1 step to be off topic so I wouldn't recommend to go any further.

I can't recall any other case but this when spam was in Arabic (correct me if I am wrong).
Most spam bots I've reported were in English so yeah...

 

Well most spammers had enough sense to realize that the majority of their audience on this site spoke English. Either as their native tongue or as secondary/tertiary.

 

Read about "Golden Age" or what is changed to be called "Dark Age" then you will see what Arabs did

And yeah it was just me defending Arabs (first ofcaurse since im one of them) but spammers still spammers !

 

I would have hoped for something more recent. Unless you're talking about a different "Dark Age".

 

xD
Im sure you get the point so no need to keep talking "off topic" all this time

 

Arabian niiiights.... like arabian daaaysss... more often than not, are hotter than hot... in a lot of good waays....

 

Unity for RefrigeratorOS confirmed.

 

And Hitachi might be their next potential partner. Next Unite Conference will be secretly help in UAE!

 

How much does this Unity3D powered RefrigeratorOS cost?

1500 USD you say?!

That is a grab deal

 

I heard Epic Games has their own technology Unreal Fridge is selling it for $20/month + 10% royalties.

 

You get the most efficient fridge if you make it yourself in C and OpenGL.

 

This needs to be a thing!

 

Yes, but make sure you optimize the inner loop in Refrigerator ASM

 

OpenGL....or should I say... OpenFridGeL

 

I would, but FridgeOS has a remarkable CIL. I heard it's getting even better in the 5.x cycle!
