Webmaster Forum / HTML, CSS, Scripts / CSS / April 2005OT: How to kill 'amos'?
This 'amos' Googlenut spammer needs to be taken out of service. Any ideas on how to do that since it appears that Google does not care about the issue.

Would you say amos is a bot? Seems to be pretty close to every fifteen minutes, all day long. I reported amos to the abuse address several hours ago. Got back the following response. We ought to start flooding their abuse address.

There are a number of posters who are using google to post their spew to newsgroups with impunity. I think this must change but I'm at a loss as to how to get google to pay attention to this problem. Their standard response is that it's not their problem. I personally think someone should send Guido over to Google's corporate offices to adjust this attitude. And send a bunch of Guido's associates to AOL, who hosts many of these people. As to what to do for amos, I've kill filed him. And I've emailed the abuse address for the IP he posted from and yahoo.com.tw. Usually, yahoo's free email accounts are shutdown fairly quickly. SignatureDeeDee, don't press that button! DeeDee! NO!

Couldn't someone do pretty much the same thing by hosting their own webserver, or using less-controlled public or anonymous news servers? I don't really see what google CAN do, realistically, about it. (Unless I'm missing something about this discussion, which I'll freely admit is possible) > I personally think someone should send Guido over to Google's corporate > offices to adjust this attitude.

I think we should send Guido & company to AOL just on general principle :) "Michael Vilain" wrote in comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets: >Well, google may be posting this spew to news groups, but they're not >hosting the spewer.

You won't get any help from Google since: APNIC advises that 59.114.169.52 originates from Taipei, Taiwan and the IP server is Chunghwa Telecom CO., Ltd. Direct your Spam Abuse reports to: spam@ms1.hinet.net SignatureGus >> This 'amos' Googlenut spammer needs to be taken out of service. >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Direct your Spam Abuse reports to: spam@ms1.hinet.net Out of curiosity I checked the IP addresses of a few other Amoses and I found different IP numbers for other Amos messages. Here are some: 59.114.174.11 59.114.33.74 59.114.171.228 59.114.39.224 They all originate from the same IP server nonetheless and Spam Abuse Reports should still be directed to spam@ms1.hinet.net SignatureGus |
