opened his #StatusNet instance for other users, so the support of @cyon can debug something. 10 minutes later I already got three spammy users. #argh!

@finkregh @bavatar yeah, that's impressive. wonder if there are scripts around that ping for open #StatusNet instances. the spammers keep coming in. I already deleted 5 of them.
Thursday, 30-Jun-11 12:39:19 CEST from web@habi are they scripted all from the same IP address, then you could just block that address while you test stuff
@finkregh there have been some ideas on fighting #OStatus #spam with blacklists, but none of them really caught on i think: http://status.net/wiki/Spam#Further_ideas_for_fighting_spam
@bavatar i just deleted the account without looking at the originating IP. hope my avatar-problem is fixed soon...
@habi wow 10 min is not bad, so closing it and invitation only is the only protection ATM
@habi hellban would also be nice, but i think an invidible input-field combined w/ some easy math should be enough...
@habi you statusnet instance is beeing spammed :D #cholesterol
