i just had a look at what interests the 1800 or so guests they are getting a good education def AI learner bots, they possible have no malice to us, they could do it without being disruptive if they learnt to use the library properly if they were crawling chat i would assume malice until proven otherwise, proof is a difficult beast to catch.

Getting hit a lot again, under control for the second, but I'm going to leave it to the morning for another session.

current state is that we are getting hammered by banned ips that just don't want to give up. as such site speed is not too bad, but it' very hard to spot additional ip ranges to ban.

1112 when I looked just now. What does it mean when it says that some of these "guests" are viewing private messages??? Are they just hitting every link, and at that moment getting a screen that says they need to register a log in to send or receive messages?

it bemuses me, rest assured it's next to impossible they are reading messages.

quite a few of my problems today were microsoft getting intrusive after i rejected office for libre(which i prefer anyway) it seems they have developed data rapists who see anything as a target they have gone although i had to ask robustly as have most of the emoticons for ds

2211 and me

the emoticons are back

gate keeping is a balance between security and being friendly

this level of shit seems aggressive, i might consider that may be the way to deal with it

"yer not on the list" etc
at least for now, register in a believable way or fro with yer ass in a sling

"mines" ?
the red screen of doom is challenging, other options are available, i have been on the receiving end of several examples whilst researching
the dod one was ace but i had borrowed the mainframe so that was plausibly deniable

open is fine but flooded is not

" the brave little tailor " i like that one, set em a mutual doom loop with others, or by themselves with a conundrum

2330 and me is a bit clunky, pita

i hate to suggest a single public page "register to log in" to access what these bots want, the right registration questions might thin them out quite a bit?
"you see a tortoise in the desert........etc"

or we start charging a nominal fee to register and ban em if they are bots
then we get paid every time they have to re register

the great downsizer firewall might even have commercial potential , probably it aint just our hamsters being overrun with vermin in the wheel bearings
