Today, I tracked over one hundred attempts of abuse on ANN. I've been working on the filters and editing mechanisms for over four hours. Maintaining ANN is turning into real work, and all I see are tasks that I despise. This one individual, and the general attitude on ANN lately, is alienating visitors and making this site a horrible place to be. Most of what I see is insults and blind advocacy... I'm tired... And I can just see the negative comments again, in reply to me posting this...

MOTD 02/01/2002 : Comment 78 of 174 | ANN.lu |
Posted by StormB on 03-Jan-2002 08:39 GMT | OK, I dont know a lot about spoofing IP addresses - but surely the only reason it's possible on ANN is because the 'transaction' of posting a comment is one-way - hence the poster can fake his/her address, and not expect a check from the webserver of any kind.
However if ANN were to have some sort of confirmation screen for comments, it would have to return the confirmation page to the IP address it was given. If the IP address was not the 'real' IP address, then it wouldn't get to the poster - and hence the comment wouldn't be confirmed.
Am I talking rubbish? :) |
