We Kid You Not Childfree Forums

All yahoo.co.uk and hotmail.co.uk email addresses are now banned from registration due to a severe uptick in spambot registrations via those services.

Hostname: 173.234.122.83.rdns.ubiquityservers.com
ISP: Nobis Technology Group, LLC
Organization: Hambilios LCC
Proxy: None detected

Anything hosted by Nobis Technology Group which seems to have tons in the 173.234.*.* range as well as several other 173.*.*.* ranges is banned. Nothing like an enabling server farm for all the spamming needs. They seem to have farms all over the US, a user registers on a Dallas server then hits again minutes later from Washington - nothing suspicious about that at all.....

Nobis Technology Group, LLC and Hamilios LCC do little to stop abuses on their servers by spammers. I see some other sites that have talk of them saying they are serious about spammers. Talk is cheap, even cheaper on the internet. I have had at least 30 registrants from unique servers in their domains. And no I'm not going to send logs to them or anything else. The easy answer for me is to ban the IP addresses/servers outright.

Just putting this out there for the googles.

Haven't updated in a while since I mostly just delete/ban spammers right away. Here is a list of recent spam IP addresses that were banned at the root (EG 187.95.38.*):
