Author Topic: A big problem on WCS (Read 3739 times)

I have a room hosted by WCS and I have 60 users. The problem is: an invisible user send pm to all peoples and these pm are very bad. In the PM, it's the name of our bot but this name is not in the room. I've tryed a full of ways to try to find who send these messages but no success.

If you have any ideas, please tell me because I'm tired to try to find this user.

I forgot, it's not my bot who send these messages because all last numbers are not the same.
I will know if I create a bot to send PM on all users.

Try kick or kickban those (different) 5 numbers, I seem to recall KM saying somewhere WCS supports that.. then it might be worth checking the banlist.. seeing if you can add the IP to Peer Guardian or your firewall.. or kickban on your bot's name with those numbers instead...

actually, it doesn't have to be that user - to send a PM you don't even have to be inside the chat room, or a program can be made (/modified) to for example join a room with one innocent looking name, get a list of users in it, then send PMs using a connection under a different name (ask "josh"... i did it in his room ages ago when testing some theories)

unfortunately there isn't any way to prevent it from happening except for users to block the PMs themselves
